I was looking through some old pictures on my camera today when I came accross some pictures of my old CBR 900. I had the bike few years ago, I traded my jetski for it. I must say this was one of more enjoyable bikes I've owned so far. Originally it was a nice maroon color (not original), had flat slide carbs and an extended swingarm, nothing crazy 3 or 4 inches. Than one day I got this idea that it would look a lot better with no plastics and a single seat, so I got the sawsall out and started cutting things off and ended up with something a bit different (see pics) :biglaugh:. Made my own subrame out of some square tubing I got from a local menards made a battery tray out of some sheetmetal that I bent on the curb outside my house, few zip ties and a battery box was born. My brother was still learing how to weld so this was good practice for him I pretty much used whatever I had in my garage at the time, my turn signal mounts were the L brackets used for shelving and the speedo was mounted to a piece of a broom stick I cut off and bolted into the risers I got from who knows where, :rofl_200:and so on. It ended up being more of a rat bike than a CBR. I ended up selling the bike to some guy on CL (I still can't believe someone actually bought it). Honestly, I wouldn't mind having it again I got some intersting looks everywhere I went. Best thing is nobody could tell what it was.
