Yo man you are ALL over the place with these decisions... just pick something and stick with it. You see how quickly I just ordered a shitton of parts and put them on the bike? Do that and don't worry about it. Buy from reputable companies and get back on the road sooner.

I have two pieces of advice:

Get the CF can if you're getting a slipon... full sys is the WTG though.

Don't buy that faggy tiger helmet.





edit: nevermind, you bought the faggy tiger helmet

Yea I'm not you,I have a tendency to jump from spot to spot in an instant and you are much more straight forward and narrow focused. I admire that about you actually. I could never put together a linear blog such as you have done. Mine would be all over the place (my nickname has always been Tigger for a reason). Anyway,I respect your opinion,and your way of doing things. Thank you for your advice,although it's a little too late. I've already got new forks and shock,had them reworked by Race Tech and have installed them on the bike. I've ordered the new plastic and it would have been here Sat but for customs problems (the windshield came). We'll see how it all shakes out. As of right now,I've spent just under $2,000 and have gotten; a radiator, rad fan, headers, AK slip-on exhaust, full body kit, CF wind shield, reg windshield, new headlight, new seat covers, new Joe Rocket jacket and gloves, 4 helmets, tri-metal sprocket and chain set, new cf trim pieces, and new Joe Rocket boots. I'm doing ok, I think but probably could have used some direction.....

I will look into when I am helmet shopping next.

He may be refering to my original idea of getting cf bodywork but I explained the time lag/expense was too great.

The four helmet thing is basically my impatience and good fortune (sorta). I kept getting beat on these auctions at the last minute. So I put low max bids (under $100) on 8 different helmets,thinking I would be lucky to win even 1. I ended up winning 4! 3 Sharks and the ugly Arai! The Sharks are brand new and from a dealer in New York. I called and verified. I could have had the Shoei but I let it go. I also could have had a new HJC for $50 but let it go too.


Oh btw here's the $52 Joe Rocket boots (my max bid was $60 lol)

Oh and I got my new rear sprocket today,I'll put it on tomorrow...Tri metal FTW! A buddy of mine gave me a scratched GSXR fender to put on my bike until my new plastic comes in. YAY!!!!

You've done pretty well for that amount of money, buddy

Now comes the fun part: Putting it back together
