My poor bike had a rough spring. About 6 weeks I finally got it back from the shop and it is running like an absolute champion. They installed my Zards, and PowerCommander, and dyno tuned the crap out of the bike.
I didn't think the bike was worth posting (it isn't done yet...), but my girlfriend said I should show it off. So, here goes, hopefully it meets the standards of the forum.

The next step of mods are tail chop with an integrated tail light, bar end front turn signals, clip ons, and a new top triple. After that...who knows.

Don't worry, you will soon find out that you will never really be done modding. Anyhow, nice looking ride.
Nice. I love me some Zards. [thumbsup]

How'd you get a Power Commander for an S2R1K? I thought they didn't make them for those?

Indeed, they let the both of us post, don't they. ;)
Luvin the ten spokes. [thumbsup]

I am not wholly sure, though I can ask the shop. I believe they ended up using one for the s2r800 and coming up with a custom map. I also had my ECU remaped to eliminate the O2 sensor.

Thanks. I love them too. Originally I had satin black on there, but I'm really loving the gloss black now.
Lookin good! I have the Zard's and the "no chop" CF tail from Monster Parts. They look great together. The "no chop" tail is enough to keep you from getting swamp-butt in the rain, shows a little red frame tubing and with the Zard you get a clean looking carbon fiber tail section all around.

If you could please ask the shop- I'd be very interested!
Man!! those pipes are bad:-)
Nice look.
I dig how the Zards open up those 10 spoke wheels... Nice!! [thumbsup]
Which crankshaft cover is that?

Thanks, that is precisely why I went with the Zards. Beautiful wheels and a gorgeous SSS, all to be covered up with a big stainless steel exhaust? I don't think so...

The cover came with the bike when I got it. The chain and rear sprocket are new AFAM pieces.
Bike looks great.
Now chop off that beer tray [evil] [thumbsup]
looking good, you going to have time to ride it now?
Ha! Of course not. I'm going to be really busy through August when I leave. Oh well, at least the ride to work each morning is great.
dude that bike is sick. How did you get the PCIII to work? what year is your bike? Any starting issues?
I love those zards man, if only they could make the header not have that werid cut off where the oil filter is!!!

ah. missed that part.
if you got it dyno tuned, did they give you a final dyno run reading?

I picked the bike up after hours in the middle of a rain storm, while I was in the middle of moving. Unfortunately I forgot to ask for a print out from the dyno. I have been meaning to call the shop and ask what the final numbers were. To be honest, I don't much care, it feels awesome and sounds mean as hell. It had enough speed to easily kill me before, and now even more so.
To be honest, I think I ride slower now than before the exhaust and tuning, simply because I realize how ridiculously fast I can be going if I'm not paying attention.
Thanks for the compliments. I love the bike and am having a blast learning more about each piece as I start to tinker and mod it.
Bike looks awesome!
Ditch the rear chain guard, it's an eyesore on that sexy red sprocket.
