Wow there's some super nice bikes on here. I've had my RC for a little over 6 months and it's had 2 make-overs already

. Butt-ugly when I first got it...

Cheetah. It's ok, but I can see where the more expensive brands could fit much better. For $412 shipped I'm happy though

Raceghost posted a couple shots of The Black Pearl the night he put the Moriwaki's on it, so here's some I took during my first ride as the new owner.

Origin8or, your bike looks awesome.

That color is so dark but not totally black, its sweet!

If it is running too cool, that IS an issue as the motor is designed to operate at some minimum temperature and can stall or seize if ran like this for too long. You are going to need to pick up some duct tape or racers tape to cover some of the face of the vertical radiator when its running below its normal operating temperature.

I had problems with the stock thermostat causing my temperatures to fluctuate for no apparent reason. That problem has disappeared since I replaced it with an Aluminum thermostat replacement tube from my friend in australia. *Thanks Nick

Since the front mounts are a race only part you are going to have to get used to not being able to spend more than a minute or so at any stop if its a hot day. As long as you are moving above 45mph you wont have any overheating problems.

So what's the deal with the temperatue? If it's running too cool is it an issue some how? If I am stuck at a light it climbs steady up to 90+ and then drops down again when moving. good thing I don't use this bike to commute

Cheers Vince!

i'm guessing you must have had a dodgy thermostat stunna.what temps are you seeing without the stat? mines low 80's most of the time since i put it back in.

Yea Bryan, bike looks great. I see you got an Elka rear, made a difference huh? I wanted to do Putnam but work got in the way. I heard the morning was a crashfest. My buddy was there and got a bump to the "A" class. I hope to be at Bluegrass in 2 weeks. I'm racing a red SV650 now.....129

Damn, I spoke too soon about Bluegrass!!! Just got an email about the next 2 track weekends are cancelled. The rumor has been that the weather has them behind schedule. But the weather for the past 2 months has been excellent. It's a great looking facility and a huge investment.....I'll bet they're having $$$ problems. Oh well, off to Gingerman next weekend. Anybody ride there?
