Hello fellow Honda riders, racers and hangers on.

I am new to FireBlades and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Southern Ontario Canada and currently own a 2002 CBR 954 RR. I have added an Ohlins damper, braided front lines with aftermarket front pads, Michelin Power Pilots 2CT and a Hindle bolt on Titanium canister. I purchased the bike last April and rode street only last year. This year I have done 2 track days so far, one at Shannonville (Fabi Circuit) and one at Calibogie near Ottawa Ontario. I raced Amatuer Superbike for 2 seasons in 1984 and 1985. First year on a 1981 GS1100EX and second year on the ex-Wes Cooley Yoshimura 1025cc Suzuki Katana. I am waiting for delivery of Armour Bodies body work with Dzus fasteners to make it into a full time track bike. I am currently interested in hearing form anyone who has their bike set up for the track. Next year I will add Ohlins shock in the rear and a spring and valve kit for the fork. I have not been able to source case gaurds for some reason so if anyone knows where please let me know. Thanks for allowing me to ramble on to coin Led Zeppelin.

Hola!

Welcome! Have a seat, stay for a while

Welcome! I've only found stator covers for the 929/954, they don't seem to make anything for the clutch side. The best price I've found is on this one:
Billet Tech - Honda

I have one on my 929, and it's nicely made.

Hi Twincam: Nice wheels do they come in solid colours in Europe or did you paint it that way?

Thanks, is that the kind that gives extra protection in the event of a...gulp long slide down the road do you think?

Thanks I hope I can offer something as well as get the goods on everything 954.

Thanks for the link, Have you been to Calabogie yet?

I might be mistaken, but I think he was actually refering to your bike Twincam. "Nice wheels" might be street lingo for nice ride, nice car, nice truck, nice bike. That sort of thing. I'm probably wrong though, so just ignore me

Sorry was having one of my blonde moments (not blonde btw so maybe im just dumb)

Nope the colours are broken with decals like anywhere else, if you go into my gallery you will see what she looked like before I bought her. The decals didnt do the bike any justice IMO so I left them off, and there is the end result.

She glistens a lovely yellow when she is polished and the sun hits her

I think you may need to go to Specsavers..

TBH I don't see many yellow bikes on the road these days, not sure if it's a colour no-one likes or not many people produce yellow bikes... who knows?
