XB12R rider from Corinth

At least it keeps some of the water from spraying on my back

Good looking bike man![up]

Great lookin' bike Jezuz man, you guys got some huge license plates

To bad you can't put a hinge mechanism on that "slightly large" liscense plate to make it flip up like an air brake like on the Bugattis and Mercedes SLR.

New rubber (Power Pure) front + rear
300 euros

The dunlop that was there previously was starting to become slick in the middle with all the sliding because of the low down torque and the slippery roads over here, plus it was starting to shread itself on the sides as well after a few rides round some fast corners.

A few days after I posted the thread about lightweight batteries, my battery died! LOL
I got a Deltran fused ring terminal quick connect ($15 delivered) and hooked the bike up on a charger I borrowed from my father till I get a new battery. I hooked a SAE 2-pin connector on the charger that I got from solarcapitalist.com (around $21 for 2 high-amp wired connectors delivered to Greece).
I ordered a Sorai, more info on how it performs and costs as soon as I receive it.

Also, here's a couple of recent photos, one of me on the bike, and one of my sister displaying the cherrybomb combo on her hair and clothes lol

 

[Jezuz]

Yes, I got the Sorai, cost me about 205 euros in total, with shipping to Greece etc.
Very happy with it, powerful, ultra-lightweight compared to the HD battery originaly on the bike.
Worth the money!

And here's a few more photos, some while riding with a couple of friends-

and one more of my sister on my bike

300 euros for a tire, 200 euros for a battery

we have it good in the states

 

[Jezuz]

300 euros for the set!
Yes the battery was expensive because it is a racing battery, and it cost a fortune to ship from the States.
But if you actually go to countries like Denmark, you'll be amazed at how expensive everything is!
In Norway everything is also extremely expensive, but the salaries are 3x what they are here, so it's ok, haha!

Got a few more parts for the bike from Twin Motorcycles, top guys!

The belt was shredded to pieces after about 21k miles and a fast ride, it was after leaving the bike parked for a month after an intense trackday. Thankfully no other damage from the belt, just had to pay 105 euros to have the bike towed back home from the middle of nowhere... [mad]
I also lost one bar end mushroom during that trackday by pushing too hard on the clip-ons on a couple tight corners, so had to order those again too, hehe.
Also got a couple sets of ultrabright EIKO bulbs (H3 CVSU/2), happy with those so far, $44 + $12 shipping from eBay.
