Gorgeous rc ! How are those Power GPS?

 

[Gigantor24]

Thanks Gonzo!!

Tires seem great so far, but to be fair I haven't pushed them yet, will see what future track days bring...

If I had to complain about anything it would be the stock suspension and brake lines. Hope to upgrade both soon..!!

Put the tank pad on the ape . Not super happy it was like a week late and came all funky in the packaging have to piece it together yourself. But if it serves its purpose it'll be fine

Tried to go for a ride after work but the battery finally had enough. I knew it was getting weaker but i kept putting it off. So i went to a local shop and got a new battery and will throw it in tomorrow.

Threw on the tires I mounted and balanced and readjusted the chain slack set pressures and she's ready for some fun !

 

[GONZORR]

Got the chains all cleaned and slack checked for next weekends trackday. Gonna hopefully get the suspension dialed on rc and finally get to push it a little .

Battery died so I ordered a Shorai lithium replacement and will lose 4 lbs in the process. Funny thing, the dead Yuasa has a Honda logo and part number.

Google ''Shorai battery fire''.

Google ''Shorai battery fire''.

I have. Can you find anything newer than 2013? Can you identify if these instances involved lithium ion or lithium iron batteries? Did the users cause the issue themselves through improper use? It's a slippery slope argument but thank you for your concern.

Had a Honda part number and logo because they are the original equipment battery. So Honda dealers can get them from Honda just as NGK spark plugs are listed under Honda parts numbers and come in a Honda branded package. As for Shorai batteries, I had one in my 07 CBR600 for 7 years with no issues at all. I do use an Optimate lithium charger for my lithium batteries. Have an Antigravity battery in my RC for 5 years. Been charged twice in that time. I think the major manufacturers of lithium batteries have worked out most of the issues. They are being supplied as standard in the upgrade models of the S1000R and also the top dog Panigale if I remember correctly. Shorai has a dedicated charger for its batteries also. If your bike sits for long periods of time check with volt meter periodically. Don’t let it get below 11 volts. If they discharge and remain discharged for long periods of time they may not come back. That being said mine will go 3 months and still be at 13.2 volts which is fully charged for a lithium. I’m sold on them.👍

Worked on the ‘06 today, installed the following;
Nissin radial master cylinder
OZ wheels and Q3+

@Fortysix&2 looking great!!


I splurged yesterday with the Dainese 4th sale.. new Laguna Seca 4 one piece inbound!!! Can't wait

 

[03rumblebee]

Did a trackside repair on my previously repaired dash mount on Saturday.

 

[GONZORR]

Polished the old girl up with some plexus and elbow grease . Highly recommend that's stuff it's a bit pricey but it leave the bike looking nice and sparkling. Full disclosure getting it on the seat makes it very slippery lol.

 

[Gigantor24]

Suit came in today, less than one week from Italy, not bad!!

Funny thing, I ordered the all black with red accent, and this is what showed up.?

Called Dainese in California, now waiting on a email direct from Dainese HQ.

I've looked and looked and I can't find this color combo in the laguna seca 4 anywhere, yet somehow it's in front of me. Weird!?!

Hey maybe you got a 1 of 1 suit ? Lol hope they can fix it though and get your order right. Still think it looks pretty sweet in that combo though.

Will be commuting on the 03 all week since wife is working from home . It's Tuesday and I was complaining about the seat ..... then my wife kindly reminded me that I have boxes of spare parts and it hit me among those are a couple of Sargent seats that I would imagine are a lot more comfortable than stock . So I threw one on after cleaning it a bit. I'll be honest the oem looks much cooler but we will see how this one feels

Not exactly "today" but its been awhile since I've taken any recent complete pictures. These parts are courtesy of Mike and Simon (and one other that deserves no courtesy AT ALL because he's a thieving, dishonest sh*tbird) with still more to install. She's got new shoes and paint and is still under the knife. The Power GPs Are a different animal compared to my old Sportec M5s. Once I get off my lazy a** and order the Kyle Link I can install the Ohlins rear shock(again courtesy of Mike). I Managed to get the 'birds to fit just tight enough to allow the factory signals to sit right over top of the can outlets. Very small notch in the tail and the can straps fit nicely with the brackets. Currently blocking down the initial clearcoat and getting ready for final clear. Cant have no ridges in the graphics now can we 😁😁😁.
