looks good with its clothes off.
they are very good for wheelies lol, especially when you don't mean to.
might drop a tooth on the front on mine cos i dont do silly mph.
you thinking of upgrading the calipers and mcyl for better stoppies then?

my cbx750f came from sun city honda - things don't rust out there :thumbsup:

looks good...............send some action pictures now :thumbup:

Looks like you already had better calipers fitted when you bought it, those look like Fireblade calipers not the standard ones, so pictures of stoppies as well please

Hey guys I am sorry yes and above all we have the best weather and riding places as well :D

Don't know what to say, but you seems to be a great bunch and it would be nice if you can come to visit sometime- we have the Word Cup Soccer now- not a bad idea to come over :D

I have some pics of my friends doing some stuff - you see I am a photographer as well and thus only pics of others- hope you enjoy
