Patrick's bikes

[tehehodi]

Well since we've all moved on to different things. I wanted to display my work in progress bikes. I currently own a 2006 Honda cbr 600rr as well as a 2003 honda shadow 750 now.

The 600rr is nearly done but needs new plastics and bolts and a fairing stay. I did a lot of the maintenance this year as the previous owner let it sit for two years because he was deployed. She might need new fork seals and she'll run trouble free for a long time. What I did to it this year was added a yoshimura rs5 slip on exhaust, new chain and sprockets, OEM air filter and new ngk iridium plugs.

The shadow 750 needs a little work itself such as clean and lube the chain, fix a few dents on the tank or get a new one(if I want it to be perfect but will probably wait till winter), replace rear seat,clean the damn carbs(I hate this and don't know how), and new tires and she will be great for this year. I have plans for how I want it to look but essentially, this bike is for me and the lady to cruise on once in awhile.

I'll add more pics and details when I'm not on my phone. Anybody want to help me clean my carbs?

way to keep your balls!!

[tehehodi]

I'll be back at it on June 6th.












































So fast that they couldn't catch me LOL

[A//// Guy]

So sexy, the bikes look good too! The envy is strong, do want! haha And I know how to work on carbs so just let me know when you are ready.

^LMAO.

Can you turn left?

[tehehodi]

.

[tehehodi]

DCTC doesn't have many left turns when ran in clockwise configuration.

Turn 2, 4 and 5 are all left handers and 4 and 5 make a nice sweeping left if you clip the apex on the insides of the corners just right. I think thats how you speak racing? I dunno. But yes, I can make a left handed turn just fine

This is considering turn 1 being the first turn after the straight or by the track entrance.

Dctc is a good way to dust off and drag some knee after a long winter, my first will be June 19th throught road closed, ill also be at bir July 12th. If you get a chance try riding through road closed once I'll bet you'll leave Zars after that

[turbotalon1g]

Lol wow thanks pat I never knew that.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Nice bikes! I'm hoping to make it to a track day or two this year

[tehehodi]

Thanks! It gets addicting after one!

The following images are huge to piss Pete off.

Just to prove I can do left handed turns:



Also, did some work on the shadow today. Still got a lot to do to finish up the bars but it is way more comfortable to sit on with these bars compared to the old ones and my hands are not turned at a weird angle. These bars are off a stock shadow 1100 and are more drag style. Taller and less bend back = win! I also replaced the chain and sprockets on it and went dropped down to a 38 tooth rear for better highway cruising rpms. Black chain looks pimpin.

I had to take off the front wheel because it kept leaking after I put on the new tires and tubes. Found out the inner tube was pinched at the valve stem causing it to leak very fast. SSB replaced it for free.


Nasty front sprocket full of luuuuuube


Best $92 tool ever! Motion pro PBR, well worth the money. This is my 2nd chain I've done with ease because of this tool.


Easy peasy comes out the pin.


And out in no time


Front sprocket area cleaned up a little with a new JT front sprocket 17t


Factory 41t rear sprocket


Comparision


New rear 38t JT steel sprocket. Looks extremely tiny.


bling bling!


Putting the master link on. Dat black chain doe.




New bars from behind. Giggity.


Side profile. Starting to look more like an American Badass Edition and not an American Classic Edition.


You can really see the height difference. Perfect for my short torso and arms for an upright position. No apes, those are stupid.


I still need to solder the wires into the bars to clean it up and get some front signals and some mirrors. I also need to try and lube the choke cable (giggity goo!) and change out the plugs.

[turbotalon1g]

That looks nice.

Left turn was just a joke, lol. Don't be that insecure.

[A//// Guy]

new bars look great! Mmmm

[tehehodi]

Doing more laps around DCTC. My Riding has changed and I am now a level 3 rider.
There was a ton of traffic in the groups I was in and it was a pita to try and improve through out the day when I kept running into slower people. I got in the best laps during the end of the day when everybody had gone home and it was more of an open track. Being that I am level 3 now that means I'm with faster riders and I hope to get a knee down the next time I'm there. Not many pics #becauseslowpeople. And only right handed turns.





Getting a feel and start for trail braking in a turn.



Not sure when my ARS will be but I definitely want to make it to a brainerd track day with the soon.

Sweet, another level 3 ZARS guy here on Mitsustyle! Looking good out there.
