Default intro

Hi everyone. My name is Rico. I'm the president of the Syndicate car and motorcycle club. I've been a bike head since I was 3 when I got my first motorcycle with training wheels welded onto it. I've gone through tons of bikes. Currantly in the stable I have:

2003 Yamaha FZ1 (Kenny Roberts Edition)

2002 Honda Shadow Spirit 750
mods:
cobra drag pipes
drag style bars
K&N filter
Kuryakyn mirrors
chrome lowboy passenger backrest
custom zipoff saddlebags
cobra jet kit
I dont remember what else.

1996 Yamaha YZF hybrid 600
mods:
This bike was built from parts of several different models including all yzf 750's and 600's made between 1994 and 1997.
'95 600 genesis motor
'96 yzf frame
'97 front fairing
'95 750 side and lower fairings
750 R swingarm and rear suspension and controller
'95 rear fairings
'96 yzf seats
750 R seat cowl
750 R wheels
750 R clip-ons
750 R radiator
'96 600 rear brakes
750 R front brakes
2004 yamaha grips
various parts from various other bikes were shaved, drilled, and dremmled to replace parts I couldn't find anymore.
cut pegs
Sprocket Specialists sprocket setup (1 down, 6 up)
Dunlop 208 super stickies
custom tuning and machining on the engine done by some racing place that had the engine before me (I can't remember the name off hand)
cut rear fender
bypassed cooling (installed a switch to turn the cooling fan on whenever I want because those motors have a tendancy to not turn it on until they are waaaaaay hot)
Yoshimura RS3 slipon
1996 Yamaha race headers
blank tank
debadged fairings
deadman killswitch
I don't remember anything else at the moment.

1998 Suzuki Katana 600 that I'm building for a friend who's learning to ride.
Mods:
lowering links (dropped 2 inches in the rear)
K&N filter
custom paint
custom seat cowl
frame sliders
a lot of the accessories like the levers, bar ends, and race pegs and bolts are done in the same paint as the fairings
K&N oil filter
clear signals and tail light
The clear lights have been tinted
tinted headlights
It's a work in progress.

and last but not least...

Jephe.
Blata 2.5 pocketbike
mods:
chrome frame and engine accents
chrome chainguard
chrome tripple
custom laid black velvet over fairings and tank
red velvet designs
Poloni carb (sp)
(running all the time) LED red tail lights
LED white headlights
LED red strobe over back wheel
Red neon string accents inside the fairings
red neon in the lower fairing
blue pulse neon in the lower fairing
chrome turndown exhaust tip
red and blue light-up toggle switches for the neons and headlights
Lucky 13 skull and pistons zippo holder on starter case with chrome zippo

My new project is going to be a ZX6R street fighter that I'm building for my girlfriend. Hopefully I'll be going to pick up the wrecked, trashed, frame and engine in a few days.
