Friday November 9th realizing I can't even put the bike on the stand to clean it or work, I visited my good friend Ross at Velocity Moto and got my first (of many to come) VORTEX products. These swingarm spools are great, and I forgot to nab the old ones off the 14 before I traded it.
New spools
Then the really nice thing is unlike the sport-touring bikes, the trim litre bikes work on the pit bull forward handle race stand with swing arm up or down. My ZX14 bike I had to work the kickstand while halfway up on the pit bull, I was always fearful of dropping it.

12/28/07- Chad at Kinetic, suspension expert sets up the suspension on the R1. Dave got his suspension adjusted too. The test ride was fun, and these ladies were conspiring to steal our bikes.

1/26/08 I bought an '07 body piece
Ok my '08 bike came with a funky FLAT pinkish-red body work over the tank. The '07 candy red body work over the tank matched.
The new piece is on the left that matches the tank (2007 body work).
Old pic of bike with the funky pinkish piece on tank
New (2007) peice on tank, it matches!

Thanks, , the race baffles are so deep and sweet sounding but too loud, rather than dump these exhausts I'm going to pack more fiberglass, and I have to gut the cats and do the PCIII thing yet. Good luck on getting that bike from the kid!

3/3/08 Turn signal project.
With Eric's help, turn signals done.
Rear (custom job with LEDs/relays)- Passenger pegs were powdercoated. 5-pin relays installed to allow rear signals to function as running lights always on in addition to turn signals. Forgive my camera skills, pics do the project no justice.
Front turn signals, Watsens fron Canada were chosen, they are extremely bright, tiny, and light everything up beside the motorcycle. Here is a pic of the huge factory signal, then a pic of the flushmount watsens (colorite painted to match bike).
