To date here is what is purchased or on order for the bike:
Sato rear sets, black
Sato racing hooks
front axle sliders
frame sliders
higher smoke windscreen
fender eliminator
heli bars
Taylor Custom exhaust with carbon fiber insert, 15 lbs lighter than stock, and increase in mid-range torque/hp
Full Ohlins front/rear shocks
Custom Paint: tank, black
Custom Powder Coat: swing arm, black, wheels: black with hub/spokes: red to match BMW insignia on fairing
May have other custom paint on tank as the bike comes together.
This is a one of a kind, and probably the one and only time in my entire life where I will bet able
to get such a sweet ride with it set up exactly as I wish. Probably will get everything together
in the next three to four weeks.
I will post pictures, right after the 600 mile/first service mark and the full engine horsepower has
been unleashed. Looking forward to attending an advanced riding school, and a few track days with it,
culminating in an Isle of Mann visit next year. I plan to ship the bike there and have a nice leisurely
stroll around the famous course.

Guys,
I am fine and have taken delivery the day before New Years, see this link I posted on my Physics Forums, the bike is sick... as in awesome...
Here is a little pic I had taken with a model who posed with my bike, click on the thumbnail. It is at the end of the thread I posted as well.
There are some awesome riding/drifting/crashing links in this thread as well, enjoy.
Don't even have a plate on it yet, plus even if I did, I am not taking those shiny new Ohlin's binders out in the salt.
Rhody...
P.S. I have a ton of stock parts to sell as well. Will post them here as well as in the BMW 1000RR Forum. Stay tuned for ride report. BTW, the manual says
to keep the revs below 7K for the first 200 miles or so, then under 9K for the remainder up to 600 miles. The Taylor exhaust is rather loud as well.
I had to reactivate my account to post, that is an FJR Forum first. I plan to keep my other bike too, it is too good, comfortable and reliable to part with.
