chano 10-10-2007, 01:12 AM Finally, sheesh :p
shit man, you're tellin me.. that was some ridiculous bs that i had to go thru to get this..
as for mods.. i got a fender eliminator on the way, some flushmount signals for the front, pazzo levers, termi c/f cans, and a puig double bubble.. thats off teh top of my head.. that's over time, obviously... but damn, i love it.. just got back in from riding with my buddy.. they set my shift light at 7k, i guess thats what they want me to keep it under.. but damn, its hard to keep it under that... hahha.. theres a few pics i added to the first post
You have a pussy on your tank :p
chano 10-12-2007, 11:13 AM ok, so about 130 miles and on my second tank later.... this bike is phenominal!! the power is great, the throttle is a little weird to me with it being electronic, so when i back off a little is gets a tad jerky, but i'm getting used to it.. that slipper is friggin great. i've only messed with it for half a ride, but i'm just sticking with normal blipping anyway.. its got an ambient air temperature gauge that measures at the air inlets which i thought was kinda cool for a little extra tidbit.. the weight really doesnt seem that much noticable from my 6 when riding.. but when i tried to put it on my forward handled rear stand, i couldnt do it.. thats where i felt the weight difference! hahaha.. the only thing that i dont like is how the heat vents right on my freakin ankles. i took the long way home from work yesterday and when i got home, the inside of my ankles were all red. that shit is ridiculous, so i gotta figure out something to do about that.. anyway, thats about it.. i think the next mods will be a double bubble and some levers... have a good one guys.. be safe out there!!
Sean714 10-12-2007, 05:20 PM I use SMX + boots every time I ride for that reason...the boot is hot to the touch, but I never feel it on my ankle.
albinohickey 10-15-2007, 12:57 PM So the 08's also have a funky throttle? I was hoping that would be all gone.
chano 10-15-2007, 04:09 PM ^^ i wouldnt say funky throttle... well i guess our term may differ... i'm saying since its electronic it doesnt feel the same as the good 'ol cable, but i'm getting used to it.. maybe its just me, it just seemed more twitchy than it should be, just from me slowly closing the throttle..
I use SMX + boots every time I ride for that reason...the boot is hot to the touch, but I never feel it on my ankle.
ya, i have a pair of sidi B2's, so i'll be wearing them puppies on longer rides now...
LiquidR1 10-17-2007, 11:42 PM glad you like it, ill trade you my 06 for your 08. lol.
