Hey guys, i recently picked up a 2000 cbr 929rr. I love the bike but there are a few small things that I am still un-aware of or not sure how to approach. I've done a little bit of searching but can't find exact answers yet so here goes...
1.) I have a yellow speedo guage and would like to swap them out. Is it best to buy a black oem cluster and swap out the face or would it be easier ( more cost efficient ) to just pick up a face off ebay? I'm not worried so much about the task of pulling apart the cluster, more worried about the quality of the product. I'm not a huge 'white face guage' kinda guy, but the bike is satin white, and i think a black / white theme would go nicely. i attached a picture of the cluster face. Also, has anyone seen the led swap kit? not sure how difficult or useful that would be as well...
2.) My exhaust. Is it a full exhaust or just the can? I attached a picture of the can / exhaust. I don't have any previous experience with this company, Yana Shiki, are they any good? The sound is ok, but the looks don't do it for me. I have no idea how good the performance, so not sure if replacing it with possibly a high mount (do they make a high mount for the 929rr?) or just another can would be wise.
3. ) Has my bike been lowered? I'm 5'8 and on my gsxr600 (just sold) i was barely tip toein-- now i'm almost flat footed. Does anyone have a measurement of how far the front fender shound be from the front fairing? Just curious...i've included a shot of that as well as to anyone can help me out. I think a friend who's a track junky is going to look at it next week.
Thanks for all the help and advice in advance!
