Well, I spent the day getting the 929 ready for it's 2007 track debut this weekend, and I snapped some pics. Not a whole lot knew for this year.... some updated graphics, some new tire warmers, new tank, just odds and ends. I could use some new race skins, but I can't talk myself into it, as these work just fine. That 800 bucks will be put towards 07 600RR. In the meantime, enjoy some close-ups of my baby. Not bad for 7 years old and 12K hard miles.

 

Well Sorted out race Bike!!

Where did you get those Numbers?

Good Luck this year, Stay Safe!!

Eric

 

awesome.

but i'm curious from looking at the sticker on your tach: what's the advantage in flipping the shifter "motogp style"?

 

nicely put together.

the GP shift advantage is for shifting ease.. easier to shift into gear than having to adjust your foot under the peg to shift.

really it is just preference

Not getting your toes stuck between the shifter and the pavement is another +

Nice bike! I like the rear rotor too.

 

Nice looking track bike.

Good luck with all your track time this season.

Yeah, it's almost necessary deep in a right turn and running out of available rpm. With gp style shifting, a mere push on the shifter and you're good. Now, try and get your toe under the lever in the same scenario.... it's tough.

HA HA HA! I'm glad you said that. I machined that on my own with a drill press and a mitre box! O.K., so I'm a cheap bastard!!! Saved some weight anyway.

I made those too in my own new vinyl shop. I'll do any job you want, just let me know. You won't beat my prices either!

 

Man I wanna go racing sooo bad! Great looking bike and good luck this season!

 

You doing Nesba this weekend at beaverun?

 

Absolutely..... you going to be there? Look for me in the now famous pimp Honda racing van!

 

I run upside down shifting on my bike. I had it on my RC too. I don't know if i could ever go back. It's just too much fun tapping up through gears.

 

I hope you don't mind me asking but what clip-ons and master cylinder (front) are you running?

I'm thinking of swapping a 929rr/954rr front end onto my f4i, which is the reason I'm asking.

Absolutely beautiful bike btw.

 

i'm drooling....


i love 929's.

 

wait so lemme get this straight... you hit the lever down to shift up? and to downshift you pull it up?? I do see the advantage though, have you ever forgot while on the road on another bike?

 

yeah that makes sense about the flipped shifting now. thanks for the explaination.

&lt;---thinking about actually trying a trackday for once.....(been riding 17 years without one)

 

is that one of those clutchless shift things? do you use your foot to shift, or push a button on the bars?

Arata!

 

Veyyy Naice!

 

Looks good!

 

I've been riding GP shift for over a year on the street, I cant ride a bike with normal shift anymore.

GP &gt; Normal. Hands down.

Happy to help... They are Woodcraft 3 piece clip-ons which are MUCH easier to install and adjust, but more difficult to safety wire. The brake/master cyl. assembly are Brembo 19x20. That is, after the suspension work, the MOST WONDERFUL MOD in the world. It's pure magic what control you have over that front brake. I never had a radial master cyl. before this one.

Uhh... I'd be lying if I said no. When I wick it up a little bit on the street, my weak mind wants to GP shift, but my Blackbird cannot easily (or inexpensively) be changed, so it stays a standard pattern.

Do it man. You'll be hooked.

 

Reverse shift. Not GP shift.
