| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner I snagged the mirror block-offs from a guy at Zilla that was selling them. I see them rarely on Ebag. I hate Ebag.... |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner Hi guys, here's my bike. I've powder coated the frame, swingarm and upper triple tree to mate black and rims to shiny yellow
It has Leo Vince Titanium high mounts, MRA windscreen, soft rev mod, 16x42 sprocket ratio, camera mount for filming rides.... I was thinking of adding a PC to it, but decided not to do it... We'll see. |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner I want the SP2, but with its thirst of the valuble, and extremely pricey, gas, I think I would have to reconsider.
You guys think I'll get just as much fun with this instead. FUN, FUN, FUN |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner yeah off ebay so i was kinda leary but i figured for the price what the hell, and to toell you the truth the construction is very well. the fiberglass is solid and paint quality is pretty good, im surprised they can afford to sell them that cheap. of course i havent put them on yet so i dont know how well they will fit. |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner [quote=EvLTwiN;601568]Here is a couple of pics of what my 02 currently looks like after i laid it down at about 80 and decided to crylon it black instead of looking at the shredded graphics. Its basically all stock with Erion pipes, a 1/6 turn throttle and 15/40 sprockets.
If you don't mind me asking, where and how much did you get them for? |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner Only thing I hear is when drilling the holes be very careful. The plastic cracks real easy. One or two other guys had trouble with them. But I would be interested in knowing how you made out. I might want to pick up a set of plastic from them also. |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner So this is the new RC. The pics are not very good...but I didn't take them. When I actually take possession of the bike I'll put many more better ones up for you all to pick apart.

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner Rigor,
Can you give some hints on the best place to pick up safety wiring supplies? I can find wire and the tool easily enough, I'm wondering about the safety clip you have on the rear axel. Is that simple heat shrink tubing you cover the wire with?
Kudos on your work, looks top notch to my untrained eye!  |

| Re: RC51 Pictures By Owner Anybody on this forum own a 2006 RC51? The pictures provided by Honda does not do the bike justice. I want to see one taken from a real life owner.
As for the 2005, juanjo322, put up some more pictures (nice and juicy pictures for me too stare  ).
I am in love with the black colored RC's now. Now, I have to compare the 2005 and 2006. The 2005 is darker and the 2006 has more greyish to it....ummmm....  |
