    Since you asked...

    Keep the Devil Shotgun highmount system.

    Remove - Freestyle ingenuity crash cage.

    Remove - chrome Windscreen w/ Chrome Spiked bolts.

    Remove - chrome mirror block off's also with custom mirrors that can be put into block offs.

    Remove - Custom chrome side peg licence plate re-locator.

    Remove - Mini front blikers mounted on front hugger and put the original mirrors with signals back on.

    Remove - Chrome brake and clutch levers.

    Remove - Chrome res cap.

    I like to be able to see through my screen... I do have smoke screens and even they are a little dark.

    The new GSXRs come pretty well setup... I would have gone with a fender eliminator, some GOOD frame sliders, smoke turn signal lenses, and some Pazzo or CRG levers.

    2. Put the mirrors back on

    ya I have never really been a fan of chrome anything but that chrome windscreen looks super gay against the red. I'd toss that and get a dark smoked Puig windscreen to bring out the black in your bike. I'd also powder coat the rear passenger pegs black and get some nice rearsets. Also like previously said, put the stock mirrors on and get the smoked lenses for front and back.

    Also +1 on the Pazzo's. That's my next purchase once I have some $$.

    Stop punishing that bike with all that crap you stuck to it.

    Go buy a house instead, much better investment.

    The next step is to take it out to the track and see if you know how to use it like it was designed to be used. Chrome is for cruisers.

    First off, you need to extend the swingarm. And if you can repaint the tank with some sick flames, that would be cool. Definitely missing a sticker across the windscreen that reads "thug life," "No Fear," and/or represents a stunt group. Chrome rimz. Do they make spinners for bikes? If you so, you need those too.

    Once upgraded as listed above, you will be ready to spend your weekend nights sitting outside Tequilla Rain on Landsdowne St. And if they truely accept you as a real biker, the gang will allow you to rev your bike off the limiter at 2am to impress the girls pouring out of Avalon.

    Dont take it personally, there aren't many fans of the "bling" on this site.

    It s a cool bike, though I have to admit I would have spent the money you spent on chrome and stuff and bought an Ohlins shock and forks.

    It all depends what you want the bike for.

    DO you want it for just stunting?
    Do you want it for track use?
    Do you want it for twisty riding?
    Do you want it for everyday commuting?
    Do you want it to be a show bike?

    Each of those 5 options have a different priority of upgrades. Give us an idea of what you're going to use the bike for.

    4.track bike
    5.show bike

    I would say everyday commuting is the most important seeing as I put 10,450miles on it in 5 months...So #1..
    you better remove the lower brace on that cage if you are going to be riding twisties or track riding. Is this your first bike?

    First of all if a 636 is too slow I doubt VERY MUCH that you are a good twisty rider. My bet is that you can get it up to 150 on a straight but slow down to 20 on a corner. I know guys that could outride you on a ninja 500.

    How much for de girl? Any bucket shots?

    As far as what I would do to the bike I would probably work on my riding a bit so you can get more out of the bike. Most people are using less than 25% of what that bike is capable of, so it only makes sense work on that.

I have used top speed pretty well, Got it up to 174mph. I wheelie it, Stopie on it and take corners almost dragin knee. But I cant get it that low yet.. I need to work on that. Im not saying im a pro rider or have masterd all riding skills but I know i use more then 25% of what the bike is capable of..I just Mostly ride it for fun, There is nothing else in the world that is as much fun as riding well except for riding Serena my girl hahaha. BUT other then that nothing!! I love bikes and the only way I would ever stop riding is if I die or get so fucked up that I cant ride anymore(Hope that never happens)..As far as bucket shots..haha I dont have any but I love this pic..Both serena and ali fit on my seat! Its nice..

    <img src=http://server.myspace-shack.com/d9/new_pix.jpg alt=Image Hosted At MyspaceGens>
    Ok...Dragging a knee isnt always the fastest way around a corner. Also anyone can ride fast. I have a friend with a zx-14 and yes he can go very fast on it. As a matter of fact my rc doesnt even come close to its speed and power. It doesnt make him a good rider. Just makes him dangerous.

    Unless your tires are looking like this then you arent using the power of the bike that you think you are.



    BTW we all ride for fun here. If you really want to improve your skills on your bike then sign up for track days.
