So after putting my bike down riding in the canyons a little while back (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=23225079), I've finally got it back to being rideable again. The insurance company totalled the bike and offered to have me buy it back, which I did. Damage was mostly cosmetic save for the frame sliders and case covers, so I got to work right away searching for new fairings.

I lucked out and Duy (JasperDB1) found a CL seller with a set of Catalyst Composites race bodywork for my bike for a real deal. For a mere $250 I scored a race upper w/headlight hole cut out, 2 race lowers, a double bubble screen, Dzus fasteners, extra ram air covers/tubes, extra headlights, and a headlight wiring harness w/ bank angle sensor. Needless to say, I scored.

I also bought a Yoshimura Ti RS-5 full exhaust, Power Commander III USB, and an Arai Corsair Tommy Gun to replace my old HJC that was damaged in the crash. With the help of some friends over this weekend, we got everything put on and I was able to give it a test ride. I rode the very same road I went down on a month ago, was a little creepy but I played it real safe.

Oh, and a 520 DID chain with new Vortex sprockets (-1 +2) are in the mail. Just in time for Buttonwillow this weekend

Thanks guys, I'm really stoked. I'll be taking it easy and hoping this weekend will be a chance to get my groove back.

It's going to be mainly track duty, but I'm keeping the headlight hole and taillight for the weekend cruises through the canyons. I do believe my days of hard canyon riding are over. Too many risks.

 

The bike looks great! Good job!
