My Crash At Laguna Seca - Page 2

I went with a brand that's based here in Southern California, but their products are made overseas. However, I will not be giving them free marketing as I may soon be a competitor. Check your PM.

However, as for everything, please see my breakdown (out of 10):

Out Of The Box Direct Fitment: 6.5
Flexibility / Workability: 8.5
Individual Pieces Alignment: 7.0
Construction Quality (uncrash tested): 9.0
Weight: 9.0
Customer Service: 9.0
Price: 8.5
Packaging: 8.0
Shipping: N/A - I choose to local pick up.

Overall: ( 6.5 + 8.5 + 7.0 + 9.0 + 9.0 + 9.0 + 8.5 + 8.0) / 8 = 8.2

Overall satisfaction with me working my magic on them, and taking my time for a professional grade finish = 9.2.

Wait until I paint them.

Oh, one other thing. I forgot about this company before I ordered my stuff, but they seem very decent. Check them out.

As she relaxes in the garage. Wait until her big brotehr arrives.

Looking good! I checked out that motox site but they don't sell track fairings for my bike. Looking like I'm stuck with armor bodies, hot bodies, or air tech. Probably go with armor bodies if I can get a discount. I also never got your pm.

Here's my monstrosity as it sits. It's mostly cbr f4i, with some 600rr, 929, and 1000rr thrown in and some aftermarket stuff too. I'm almost there hahaha

Thanks, and that thing is looking clean.

I can vision an end result for that thing. I've seen tons of them at the track. Some really nice, some ehhhhh. Hopefully we can do a trackday together when I sldie down to Road Atlanta.

About the PM, I'll go back and figure it out.

Man I spent like $1500 on suspension upgrades for my Ninja 650R and never even wound up riding it. All I have left to order are some ZX-14R calipers and the master cylinder/lever/lines. Paid for it, might as well enjoy it but I literally haven't ridden in a year

Road Atlanta would be awesome. I'm not sure if we'll get there or not this coming year. We're focusing on cmp, vir, Daytona and roebling since that's where our ccs series will run.

You're a madman! It's killing me not being able to ride mine right now. Lucky I have a mini moto to keep me sane until I can pick up another street bike.

gloryaccordy · 09-02-2018, 10:19 PM

Ha, just realized you're in Savannah. I'm down here on vacation right now.

Anyway we had our first kid in December so I just haven't had time. And after totalling my car at the track in May I haven't had much desire either. What I wish I could do is take a mini bike to the go kart tracks. Then I wouldn't need a bike at all......

bassrock234 · 09-03-2018, 02:48 AM

I totally understand, especially with having a new baby. We have the Herrin Compound in Dublin ga. for a mini bike track, but I've never been there.

You wouldn't happen to be staying in a hotel downtown would you?

Straight Success · 09-03-2018, 10:05 AM

By the way, I started my own business.

I'm currently building it from the ground floor up. It's for all powersports applications one day to house a full multi-axis CNC machine, welding capabilties, a composites shop, and a whole bunch of other goodies for powersport applications.

I'm workiing on building the website now. The name is Athy Powersports.

Email me if you have any questions at Anthony@athypowersports.com.

Naw we were in an AirBnB. I always do those when I travel

Straight Success · 09-23-2018, 05:54 PM

Teaser updates:

There's a reason I painted it in the process that I did. I'll explain later.

Straight Success · 09-24-2018, 03:07 PM

Tail section is complete minus additional wet sanding and polishing. BTW, this is all rattle canned.

Straight Success · 10-04-2018, 11:52 AM

Slow, but it's progress. Time is precious as an adult.

bassrock234 · 10-04-2018, 09:43 PM

If I'm seeing things correctly, you have the option of running a supersport or a superbike tail? How come only 1 has a number? Looking good though!

Have you bought an r1 for a street bike?

Straight Success · 10-04-2018, 11:00 PM

It's part of the rules for certain sanctioned bodies of racing.

Straight Success · 10-08-2018, 10:44 AM

She's coming along.
