 Jets are coming next week so should get them fitted then. I still won't be able to keep up mate. I was really pushing it and not even getting close to you.
I love the sound your bike makes when it bounces of the limiter.
Really good day. Near the end was the best on the twisties. Bit borin trying to catch up with you at the start on the straights and not having enough power to overtake cars. 
Really suprised how nice it looks mate. I'll upload all the images in highest quality if you want them? |

.
here are my comments / suggestions...
- the detailing seems to be unfinished and rushed. the "repsol" in the side fairings are too low and not is not parallel to the seat cowls "repsol" and line colors.
-the honda wing on the tank is big.
-where are the other sponsor stickers? the "snap-on" and "blue jeans gas" are there, where are the others? or why not putting them all?
-the side mirrors can be replaced with OEM CBR600RR side mirrors which will look better. the way it was placed right now doesnt look good.
-the passenger pegs has to be replaced

Lovely bike but personally i don't like the tacky levers and the front indicators and get rid of those crap plastic heel plates and buy some early drilled fireblade ones,had them on mine and they look loads better, |

I'm glad you like it. We're thinking of doing another one within the next week, hopefully once Fnatics re-jetted his bike. So will text/ring you at some point this week and let you know. 
Hi Gary mate, wow dude you are seriously 'picky' lol. I'll try and answer you points...

The guy who painted it was having a few problems lining up the repsol on the fairing and the back so I told him to do the best he could and I really don't mind how it came out.
| garyboy-palaboy wrote: | -the honda wing on the tank is big. |
The decal kit is off of a Honda CBR 600/1000RR. That might explain why you think the wings are too big. I don't know if you've noticed but they don't make decal kits like this for a Honda CBR 400RR (unless you go to the lengths of having it custom made, and again it really doesn't bother me enough to do so). 
| garyboy-palaboy wrote: | -where are the other sponsor stickers? the "snap-on" and "blue jeans gas" are there, where are the others? or why not putting them all? |
I have them all but I think it would look really tacky to have them plastered all along the bottom. They are only there on the race bikes because the companies are paying money for there name to be somewhere on the bike, not because it looks good.
| garyboy-palaboy wrote: | -the side mirrors can be replaced with OEM CBR600RR side mirrors which will look better. the way it was placed right now doesnt look good. |
I may buy CBR 600 mirrors but I'd need to check they are actually useful. It's not great if they look good better but don't work. I find on some mirrors all I can see is my shoulders whereas because the ones above stick out quite a lot I get a lot of rear visibility which is great.

-the passenger pegs has to be replaced[/quote]
I'll probably just have them painted; unless you have some other pillion pegs you know that fit that you think would look better?
https://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd304/garyboy_palaboy/ulo/stupid.jpg
As to the above image. This is the 'K-Conversions' kit, not the 'Tyga Kit'. The fairings aren't supposed to touch the tank, if you make it touch the tank it would mean you'd have to point the front end upwards, this would not only fail the MOT as the beam from the headlights would be too high and dazzle other drivers but it would also look really crap.
Also, I've been looking everywhere for that Yoshi Exhaust system you have on your bike but cannot find it. Was it supposed to fit your bike or did you cut of and change the headers so it would fit yours? thanks and hope the above reply helps.

For what its worth mate I think your bike looks cool. From past experience people who sit and scrutinise and pick flaws with such an example generally are jealous or aren't happy with there own so pick faults with others. Looks nice, and im sure you don't need me to reassure you of it.

Nice pics, both bikes look sweet!
If you don't mind me asking, where abouts did you go for a ride? I'm getting a little bored of the ones i've been riding on
Edit: Oh and Fahd what I said about the front end, I take it back because in these pics it looks awesome

Not wanting to piss on your bonfire (and sure it's been said before), but why'd you spend so much on making a CBR look melted when you could've spent it on suspension, braided lines, a decent service and some track time?

Not much of a deal...
