First of all, the obligatory Hello.
Thanks in advance for creating this community and this oasis of information in the sea of noise that is the internet. And, most of all, thank you for any help and advice you have to offer me now or in the future.
A quick run down on my situation.
I was planing on getting a naked (standard) bike and not on building a street fighter.
I currently own a 2003 cbr 600rr. I've actually owned it for all of 36 hours and it was a gift from my boys. It had been dropped by its previous owner but, minus a little road rash on the right side its clean as could be.
So of course day 1 was all about maintenance. Oil, coolant, fuel, chain and sprocket lubed and cleaned, everything I could think of. So of couse while I had the right side plastic off to do the work, I decided to take off the rest just to see what it looks like until I can figure out what to do next.
I've never done any work to modify a bike before and I must admit I wasn't expecting all of the wiring i found leading up to the front fairing. There were three separate looms in all. A large grey and equal blue one were together on the lower left side and a smaller black one was attached to the back of my gauge cluster which is a stock unit.
So, I'll be riding this baby naked but I don"t know if all this wiring means the cpu is in the front fairing or what because that seams like way to much wiring just for some lights. My question is what do i need to take out of the front fairing and relocate to the bike to keep it running if I discard everything in front of the trees?
All I know right now is that if I disconnect them, the bike is dead.
My plan is for a really simple bike. I've already removed all the plastic in front of and around the tank. I'll be adding some thick and wide dirt bike bars, a new front light, grips and shorty levers, braided lines, frame sliders, 15/45 sprockets, a 520 or 525 chain, a soft seat for my old a** , and eventually either a rattle can paint job or vinyl wrapping since a buddy of mine who does tint and detail wants to try it.
Anyway, any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
P.S. No pictures yet, but I'll be setting up an account with photobucket or whoever asap.
