    Default Finally installed all the stuff taking up space in the garage!! New Pics

    I had a thread back in December on my new 08 R1. Well after a serious transmission mishap (shady (friend) dealer) in less than 500 miles of ownership...I'M BACK. I found a great, verifiable 2k mile motor. So it was on to installing a new motor and tons of new parts. I bought the bike with 7k miles, lowered, dirty, no decals, shredded rear tire and a VOUCH from a friend that the bike would be perfect. After putting it back to stock height, tune up, miscellaneous parts and the Akrapovic EVO 2 full titanium exhaust...I WAS IN LOVE! That lasted about 2 rides before the pop, tire/tranny lockup, case crack and all type of issues on I-20 one beautiful Saturday afternoon in front of all my friends and my fake, liar, friend, dealer. When I picked up the bike initially, it had a 3rd gear issue FROM THE 1ST RIDE!! I took it back and supposedly all issues were resolved. So now it's back for ROUND 2. After tons of $$ being dropped on just OEM fasteners, bolts, clips, decals, & even more $$ in aftermarket garbage...she's pretty much where I want her...for now...LOL

    Here's a pic of her from the thread back in December:

    Thanks!! No bike I've ever owned including my 08 GSXR 1000 or 06 ZX-10 has ever given me the pure joy and lust like my R1s. I should've never sold my 06 R1 and even with all the drama with my new 08 it still is TONS better than the others!!

    Yamaha calls it Candy Red. Don't know how much 'candy' is in the paint but that's the color. Thanks for the compliments.
