joshuatest

j_frank

not that it matters its f'kn cool

Blue Ridge Boy

haha...yeah lets see it on the bike!

GeMs

I just got home from work and it was here. I have been saving for some trick bits, and this was on my list. It was close to 400$, but well worth it. Ill have pictures by tomorrow night after I change my oil and oil filter. Im pretty excited!!

joshuatest

LAZY ***! If it where me, I would have come home from work, changed oil, and installed already... But i guess some people have to be lazy...

lol

Looks good.... Interested in seeing it installed though....

DrPepper

where did you get it? i am interested in on i wanna see it on your bike

GeMs

Ha ha. If I had a heated garage and it wasn't 13 degrees out it would be on already. I got it from magical racing (obviously) but what I did was went to the American site and emailed them and asked for pricing for the VTR1000F parts on their Japanese site. Simon emailed me back and gladly explained pricing. I sent the money via paypal, and a month later here it is! I will def post pictures when I get it on tomorrow, even if my girlfriend comes over.

PRTSMN

thats a nice piece. i really would like to get one have to wait till the wife gives me more allowance haha

GeMs

yeah, its a pretty awesome thing being 20. No wife. No "allowance". I am pretty responsible with my income and save every penny. But I do like to indulge in nice things once in a while.

lazn

Don't forget to protect it with some thermal insulation. looks great!

L8RGYZ

First off, I hate people with more disposable income than me. Second, that looks really cool. Nice get buddy!.

GeMs

Thanks.. Im off to the store to get oil and a filter, and wire caps so I can finish the integrated tail light. Pictures will be up by the end of the day.

Hawkrider

See, GeMs' problem is that he gives up certain necessities...like bed sheets, to buy cool-*** ****** parts for his Superhawk!

Nice, bro. Now post up whole-bike pics before I ban your ***!

joshuatest

Stop being lazy, install the ******* thing and post pics, please

GeMs

IT IS INSTALLED.. But I have to wait till my girlfriend goes home since my SD slot on my computer isn't working. So be patient. Only I know how amazing it looks.. muahahaha (and me says my girlfriend) Lol

joshuatest

Well aren't you about worthless... 1st you get a lower, but don't install it the same day, then you FINALLY install it, but don't have pictures up yet...

Jeez... Did you make your girlfriend install it for you too? lol

just messing with ya... but seriously, HURRY UP and post pics...

Hawkrider

Gregw

Explain to me how THAT works. Girlfriend leaves... computer suddenly starts working?

joshuatest

like you really know anybody with enough power to ban somebod.............

uh wait.. site admin.. yea.. nevermind... lol



So... I've been really really really wanting to see these pictures... you've got the yellow bike right? I think this lower will look awesome with the yellow bike....

But of course.................... no pics yet... I bet the girlfriend got lost on the way home... they are known to do things like that...

GeMs

Anyways.. for those of you patient peoples...

I used some thermal heat tape to protect the inside where the exhaust was close..

And the final product. Don't mind the missing tank or seat, I'm in the process of re-jetting and removing the PAIR system.

One more for good measure.
There ya go.

joshuatest

What about me? you SURELY where not suggesting i'm a "patient" person at all right? lol

Looks good.. once you get the tanke and seat put back on, and some daylight, post a couple more pics... But it looks good... I like the black graphics, black cans, and now black lower... that was the best color to pull off the black acc's with...

GeMs

Sarcasm my friend. But I will surely post some pictures when the project is finished. Oh and you forgot the black front fender.. Ha.

joshuatest

I did.. didn't even see it...

and the tented wind deflector. and i'm assuming you went with the smoke tail light?

Very nice though... Had there been a choice, and yellow was available... I would have more than likely went yellow.. although not sure as blue is my favorite color...

oh.. you know what mod would be really awesome to go with the black/yellow theme... get a black seat too.....

GeMs

Never thought of that one. I'm gonna have to hit up ebay, riding without a seat was pretty annoying.. Couldnt last more than 5 miles. Anyways, yellow is the ultimate Superhawk color.

Hawkrider

I think that lower would look better on a white bike. Ship that sucka to me and I'll take some pics with ALL the bodywork. I'll even load the bike on the trailer, drive down to FL and go for a ride just to test it all out, all in the name of progress of course. I'm willing to sacrifice here, okay?

skokievtr

Go out and buy a sheet for your bed and put it behind your VTR and take another pic of the lower first, cuz I can't see the dam thing above!

GeMs

Geeze.. Thats not even my bed. That was in the guest room where I keep all my stuff. But I cant wait for the jet kit to come in and a decent day to take more pictures/ride. Post some pics of your white bike.. I always thought a white hawk would look sweet.

GeMs

Haha.. Heres my best MS Paint contribution.

Hawkrider

That's fuked up, dude. I'm concentrating so hard on the dorked up shape of the tank that I totally forgot about the MR lower!
