With my 929 being recently stolen, I'm awaiting my settlement check within the week. I'm in no ultra-hurry to buy a bike, as I will happily wait till Spring if need be.

I am wanting a true/clone '02 - '03 CBR954RR Repsol bike, I would really prefer an '03 but will settle. I really don't want to get into another 929, would rather own an '02 or newer CBR. Would also consider other professional race replicas, but no 600's please.

Email me at camcovert@cableone.net or PM me.

Thanks!

OK, I'll bite. The 02's and 03's were the same bike. Now, as far as a "Repsol", do you mean you just want it to have the decals like the 1000rr does?

Of course the '02's and '03's were same bike, I'd just prefer to have an '03, but would take an '02. And as for 'Repsol', I mean just the plastics/decals, that's what I mentioned 'Repsol Clone' in my initial post, I'm not expecting some limited edition actual Repsol CBR954, but would take a 954 that has been retro-fitted with the goods. Sorry for the confusion!

I was told I'd be getting a 90 day sales credit with my settlement on my bike, but turns out I received a 180 day sales credit, a full 6months to decide what I want to put the $5740 settlement towards, so I'm pretty excited. But I'd like to lock in a nice bike during the winter and have it ready to go by Spring. I hate to cruise all the way out to Cali for a bike, but if that's what it takes... suppose that's what I'll do. But again, I'm not looking to buy a bike by next week, but all the nicer bikes seem to pop up on the west coast or up around Penn./NY.

Right, if you can find a 954RR, there is a chinese bloke on eBay selling a set of aftermarket repsol fairings the United Kingdom. Maybe you can get in touch with him? (and with the fairings left over - either sell them or keep them)

Honda CBR954 CBR 954 RR fireblade (02-03) Fairing Set J - eBay Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Parts Accessories, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 02-Oct-07 06:49:04 BST)

Note: you will have to get your tank sprayed

[Cam-929]

Any of the guys here or anyone you know bought those fairings and installed them? I'm just worried about fitment issues and such, but that's a good price for the complete set, I'd be interested in that. The wheels are no problem, my girlfriends step-dad actually owns the big Powder-Coating business here and I'm sure I can find someone to help out with painting the tank.

Pretty much all the "Repsol" 954s are using that bodywork. The only exception would be someone that had their panels custom painted.

Erm i havent bought any plastics from them yet so i dont know what it would be like - it does say it may need modifing and holes to be drilled for it to fit - so if your not to good with the DIY i would get someone else to do it.

Well, so far there's been a Telefonica bike(listed here)... it's a 929 which I'll suppose I'll go back to. Have ya heard of anything else?

[Twincam]

Erm not as such, ill keep you posted on any other fairings or bikes with the kits on...

[Cam-929]

Someone(didn't leave a screen name, just know his name is Donald) from Florida sent me a message about having a 954 Repsol for sale, please PM me or reply back!

I used the korean/chinese replica body work on a 1000rr crash I fixed up. Body panels were awesome looking, paint was perfect,shipping was real fast...only thing was the fitment wasnt the best, but if your crafty and kinda mechanically inclined you can make em look minty when you put em on. Dont know about long term as far a spider cracking or anything. But def alot of bang for the buck.

[Cam-929]

Well I got the '02 954, now I don't know if I want to go through and do the Repsol kit. The bike looks absolutely gorgeous now... the first owner went through and polished EVERYTHING, handlebars, frame, wheels, zillions of little odds n ends on the bike. Then the last owner(second owner) repainted the entire bike black, no decals no non-sense, just black and polished. Who knows, later down the road I may get tired of it and decide to do something different.

BTW: If you want to see the bike, I have a thread about it in the FireBlade section.

Nice..now all you need is a gallon of mothers polish.ha..get the repsol graphics kits and slap it on the black bike..that would look sweeeet.

[Cam-929]

Haha, yep, keeping her clean has been my biggest fear. I'll be spending 3 hours trying to get everything cleaned and polished.

I don't think the Repsol graphics would flow that well with the bike, you really think so?

[Cam-929]

Well cancel all plans. My second bike was stolen in the last two and'a half months. I went through all the extra precautions this time, bought extra lock, put it under cover, put it in a locked up chain-link backyard(with a dog), but somehow whoever got through the wheel-lock, my lock, the gate lock, and jetted with the bike. I owned this one for whole... two weeks! -had to rant somewhere-
