Shots of the whole bike? Looks sweet but would get a better idea seeing the whole bike

That looks really good

Too bad your selling it. Although, I completely sympathize with you. I was all about getting something like a 919 for my next bike until I rode some of my friends 600s. Now sport bike = yes

the bike is fun and all, i can out ride everyone ive come across so far this season on it, dragging my knee through the corners and all. but the frame has too much flex to be a good track bike. even with RC51 forks and all that, its just not what im looking for.

are you saying even if you did more like rc51 forks and what not it wouldn't fit you or that even though it has them now it isn't?

im not sure what your asking, but the RC51 front end is the only one that bolts rght on. Ive talk to many people that have done the conversion who all say the same thing. it makes the suspention much much better but the bike still handles funny around the corners.

I had the same problem with mine. I never really had any chassis flex or anything, just not enough ground clearance.

Are those the stock mirrors? Mine has the big, crome round ones. I like the ones on yours.

Not to hijack, (but since it looks like we've got all the 919 owners in one thread), anyone regeared theirs with good results? Chain and sproket time for me.

i havent yet, but i dont see why it would be bad. I useto have a 900RR and consider this and that i would prob just do a -1 on the front.


Mirrors? yeah they are after market. they also have the blinkers in them

Could you do me a measurement favor?

I need to know the distance from the centers of the forks to each other, and the distance between the center of the fork(s) and the center of the steering stem nut. I hope it's not too much of an imposition

You just gave me a stunning idea (and your bike looks great). I want 'fighter bars on my F4 but I don't want to use the Spiegler kit and your 919 tipped me off. they're the same fork diamter, hopefully Honda didn't change anything else up top. :-D
