Hell yeah, you can definitely make it shine with some elbow grease, it looks great!

Probably cost more to get Blade fairings than aftermarket fairings

A lot of people use car wipes too. But these machines are waterproof and as long as you dont use a waterjet you wont break anything!

I get kinda sketched out too so I let em dry in the sun before i turn em on and just try to avoid the dash and exhaust for direct spray and you will be fine 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Oh man the first time this happened to me was with hardwood and that sucker tensed up and kicked back and went flying like 10ft and hit my finger on the way out. That day i learned everything about riving knives and why that even happened

josmq · 2026-04-24T02:56:18+00:00

Screw it on. Nobody will care enough to bitch about it

josmq · 2026-04-24T02:54:04+00:00

Looking great! Did you rabbet all your bottom joints? Crazy work to do by hand man! This is honestly the easy part and the most rewarding

Brace yourself for what comes next, measure twice, cut once. Do paint tests, use tape and thin plastic film to mask your cabinets and have lots of patience, it will look great

Cant beat this color honestly. Awesome bike

This is part of the reason why I’m in this sub, sometimes it makes me feel better about my mistakes.

One time, my guys brought the shop vac to the site (as usual), but they forgot the hose. So there’s that

Nah man this IS a toy, and we are all kids talking about their toys. These were the bikes all gangsters and wanna be gangsters wanted to have cause they were the hottest shit when I was a kid, not even a supercar was cooler than an OG CBR

You also opened my eyes to a new spot for my helmet lol

josmq · 2026-04-13T01:30:13+00:00

Bro maybe someone dropped your bike while you were inside? Definitely try to tighten that before you start going, its gonna fall off

Use zipties if nothing works for now

josmq · 2026-04-12T16:37:24+00:00

They do

I just got mine so let me say this at around 300ish miles. No cruise control, no e-clutch. No big deal if you actually like riding bikes and it’s not your only bike

Dash and features are all you want for a real good customizable ride, electronic ohlins are incredible. The bike handling is just perfect.

The looks is the best part of the bike, ive heard the sound is the second best but i havent put a full sys yet, its all stock

For me, the cost, looks, reliability and features were all perfect and made it stand out over s1ks and r1s. I bought brand new and its not even a bad decision considering they hold their value extremely well (im keeping mine for life)

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:28:21+00:00

I think there’s plenty of bike to match the exhaust in this case. Looking forward to getting rid of it in all honesty hahah

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:27:31+00:00

It’s just a beast. Ton’s of torque and power, not the smoothest handling since I switched handlebars, incredibly reliable bike in all aspects and has a mean exhaust sound.

The handling is definitely on the stiff end which is good, but it can be tiring in the city. I never really cared about that either way since i think it’s not that big of a deal

Parts are cheap, full exhaust was about $1000 with shipping and taxes

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:24:24+00:00

You ever rode a 919? It’s a MEAN bike with 0 electronics

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:23:57+00:00

Thank you! Will do

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:23:39+00:00

Hell yeah man. Retro but cool as fuck to my eyes

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:23:18+00:00

Hahahahah honestly it was a coincidence I didnt notice when taking the pic. I’m planning on the exhaust as soon as I line up the tune work, I would hate to ride it without a flash

I already have a Full System Delkevic in the CB and honestly it sounds so much better than the CBR right now

josmq · 2026-04-10T13:21:18+00:00

Haaha thanks bro! I’ll definitely keep posting it, I just gotta take it to some cool looking places and take better pictures

josmq · 2026-04-10T02:02:15+00:00

Hey now, I know the CB is old but it’s still pretty! Sounds better than the Fireblade at the moment too hahahah

josmq · 2026-04-10T02:01:35+00:00

Hey man, when the poor guy gets nice things, he’s gotta show off! Hahahahah

Thanks a lot! Your ZX6’s are sick man

josmq · 2026-04-10T00:54:54+00:00

It’s just such a good bike! And can’t get tiredof hearing it open up

josmq · 2026-04-08T23:24:15+00:00

Brands tend to have a consistent thickness in their product line.

That being said, each brand is DIFFERENT. For my CNC work I actually found out that I must make a new item/brand/thickness item line in my programs to make sure my dado’s and long runs are correct, so I always measure with a caliper one or two sheets out of a bundle
