Just curious to see what people are doing to these bikes. I wasn't too fond of the R's at first untill I seen one at the dealership. Man, they look loads better in person! Mid controls still are not my thang as I like fwd controls of the A's and B's better, but I would like to see what you guys/gals are doing to your rides! Do they make Fwd controls for the R's?
This is my wife's bike, which I have been working on over the winter. I upgraded to the DX gauge cluster (thanks, Philthy), braided steel clutch line, works performance shocks and tinted taillight. Painted the wheels with a wheel system (to look like the 07 R), epoxy painted many miscellaneous parts gloss black and painted the tins. It is still curing and will darken some by spring. I'm probably forgetting some changes but either way we are very happy with the results.

Hello all,
I have been lurking for a while now and have yet to contribute my name is josh and I have an 06 R model. This was the start of this weekends shenanigans, would there be any interest in a full write up with details?
The tail is from an 06 cbr600rr

If you like tire I will take some pictures of my cb750.....its got a lot more to show.
the tailight and solo cowl came in today for the cbr tail so I will be finishing the swap this weekend and will post a full thread
Thanks, Dale!
Thanks, Philthy! We chose to upgrade to what we thought it should've looked like stock (with the exception of the shock height- that was for safety and comfort) and the bar and shield fit the bill.
No he is a real HA Coast member..you can't put that on your bike if youre not! around here..I wonder how he got the forks gold like that..it was not painted
This is how mine's now. Not much has changed, put on black skins for change and new rizoma turn signals and different pegs and grips. Only rode couple thousand km's last summer, the R is now used for fun as I got FLHX for touring rides
Anyone running air suspension? I'd love to see some R pics with them on air
