Not really a mod, just a couple of photos with the lovely ( albeit expensive ) seat cowl in place. Now if I can just work out how to get those rear pegs off !!!!!!!!!!

Nice!

Here are my pics with the rear pegs removed - you must remove the entire rear fender, and inner tray with all the electrics removed - a major pain in the ass, but well worth it.

Damn.........I knew that would be the answer to getting the pegs off. There's no way I'm taking all the electrics out. Fair play to you for doing it mate, it looks great.

I hadn't even thought of removing them, but that looks great!

Love the Black on Red. May have to order those lovely red side panels for my Red on Silver scheme. Just to change things up once in a while.

Welcome to R&G Racing | Setting the standard in bolt-on motorcycle accessories and Crash Protectors
Want smaller turning signals, just have no idea where to get decent looking ones, the ones I saw so far look crappy.

Duke........it's from my dealer mate. Standard Honda part

Nuclear Bee · 04-05-2008, 9:40 PM

Here is the first batch. I have only 32 miles under my belt so far after picking it up late last night.

Phadreus · 04-05-2008, 10:00 PM

Nuclear, Oh man that black looks sinister, nice ride sir! Congrats on the purchase...

Nuclear Bee · 04-05-2008, 10:11 PM

Phadreus, thanks for the post. After only a few miles I can say that this bike is drastically different from my 2006. My previous bike was an 06 1000RR and I feel that the riding position has changed for the better. Compared to my 06 which I will say is the girl next door the 08 feels like you are riding a supermodel. The bike is narrower than a ZX-6R that I rode at a Keith Code School with handling that is razor sharp. The blacked out rearsets and passenger pegs complete the look and I will be replacing the clutch and brake levers soon to eliminate the originals. Lastly, the gauge cluster is pretty trick, while holding the select button and turning the ignition on your first option is to set the shift light for desired rpm and then you can set the type of light you want on blinking or constant to your tastes. I will deliver more once I have more seat time.

PEZ · 04-06-2008, 12:33 PM

Wow Nuclear, that thing is sweet! Enjoy the track days, hopefully you'll have it broken in by then! More pics please when you get a chance, and more feedback on how you're liking it! Thanks!

Nuclear Bee · 04-06-2008, 3:43 PM

PEZ, Anything in particular you want a picture of? There is plenty of sun today and those pics from last night didn't turn out that well due to darkness.

Thanks, I get to make a request? You're the man!

Well, I guess I'd like to see some pictures that show the areas of gray paint. It's kind of hard to tell where is gray and where is black. What do you think of the little like quarter moon wheel stripes? Are they reflective at night? How about under the seat, how big is that area? Thanks Nuclear Bee!

SodaO · 04-07-2008, 7:33 AM

Thanks for the link Litre Kid. There's a nice pic of the special edition in there. Man, I wish they had that in the UK. I'm gonna go for the B&W myself in lieu of the Black & Grey special. Will get the footrests and clutch/brake levers changed into black though. Still hate the fact that the engine cover on the UK model is broinze coloured though.

splatty · 04-07-2008, 8:48 AM

Forget it mate..........get a Euro only black/white model.

Sex on two wheels

SodaO · 04-07-2008, 8:52 AM

It's on its way mate! I ordered it on Friday and hopefully pick it up this week or latest Saturday

Having trouble sleeping or thinking about anything else!

Litre Kid · 04-07-2008, 12:37 PM

Im holding out for the LE black, but if I had the choice of the white it would be a tough decision for sure. Def the two sexiest colors!

Nuclear Bee · 04-08-2008, 10:14 AM

Pez, There is going to be a delay in those requests. The shipper picked it up yesterday and is taking it back to New England for the summer. To comment on your requests, the undertail is roomy. Measuring 6" inches wide, 12" long and 6-7" inches deep. The rim stripes are not reflective and the best place to describe the grey is the plastic trim between the frame rails and the gas tank shell.
