aradamro Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) RC-51 almost finished being put back together. Lowsided on rt60 last year added some things. Found a complete set of plastics out of California. Had Mark at carbonwerks make me carbon mirror block offs, fender and clutch cover. Pazzos and Driven grips from Motomummy. #1 Hayden decals in red instead of the pink. Took my hand at powdercoating and did the Moriwaki rearsets, sprocket and fairing stay. Put Puig smoked windscreen on, still need to order stomp grip. Heat wrapped the pipes and in the process of putting the old school Sato Racing emblem back on the cans (as seen in the picture by the superflous amount of zip ties.) Looking for some type of turnsignals that look good, probably go with protons but $100 is a lot for turn signals. In need of another bar end and a very good cleaning, will get on that ASAP!Other stuff already on the bike-520 conversion-Sato pipes-Hyperpro dampner-PCIII-Goodridge brake lines front/rear-Moriwaki rearsets-Dussault Undertail Edited March 17, 2009 by aradamro edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought that R6 a couple weeks ago, the guy also had a mint 2003 RC-51 in the garage. He said he got it two years ago from a dealership in Columbus that had just opened up. He said Honda stipulated that they had to buy some older bikes too and his RC was still in the crate. He said he actually pulled the crate apart and there was a mint 03 RC-51 back in 2006 with 0 miles. It had 1,000 miles on it when I saw it and he apparently sold it a couple days after I bought the R6 for around $6,000. It was unbelievable seeing something that clean.

jbot Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 it was a guy in mayfield.it only had like 1500 miles on it or something ridiculous like that. the bike had been sitting for over a year, so it needed some minor maintenance done but it was pretty much mint.
