New guy from Portugal
Hi there

Name's Gustavo, i'm 24 years old and i ride a 2000 CBR929. Previously i had a few other bikes, all non sport bikes, the latest was a CB Sevenfifty RC42, more or less know in the States as CB750 Nighthawk. It was a good bike but one day i decided that was enough of naked bikes. Wen't after a 97 Suzy TL1000S, but brought home a 929RR... I'm still thinking about that TL...

Anyway, the 929 is pretty stock, bought it with 20 000 kms on the clock. No major mods... After that i started thinking about what was needing some attention: the front blinkers are now located where the presence lights used to be (is this well written!?).

I installed a BMC washable air filter and a bublle screen.
Replaced the mirrors with a 2,5 inch LCD located on the left of the gauge cluster that is connected to a minicam in the back of the bike.
Also built a device to hold a camera on the gas tank so i can record some really cool rides around here!

I ain't got no major questions yet, but one: where is the knowledge base for mods in this bike? This thing has potential.

thats all... for now
Gus
