After two years I upgraded from my CB300R to the 2026 CB650R. Am absolutly in love with the new machine. Even though it's still restricted to 35kw until end of summer, the difference in power is pretty huge. Already planning to install a few mods at the first service like the rear seat cowl, front shield and bar end round mirrors. Any recommendations for mirrors?
Hello guys, I just finished mounting the undercowl on my bike. I got it from Aliexpress since is basically the same as the OEM one and it costs way less. The only thing I’m concerned about is the heat resistance.
Does the material resist to the collector heat?
Let me break down my logic:
OEM undercowl: made out of ABS plastic (resistant, hard, mid heat resistance)
Aliexpress undercowl: made out of nylon 66 (at least they say it’s nylon 66, super resistant, way better heat resistance)
So even if it’s not the OEM should I be worried ? I don’t want to find myself melting plastic under my ass or even starting a fire I’m a little bit scared.
They also sent me some sort of adhesive sponge with a sheet that would look like a thermal sheet. But was it only needed to protect the package or do I have to cut it and apply it inside the undercowl to protect it from the heat of the collectors?
Please help me!
This morning, I dropped my baby while loading my travel bag on the back. It dropped to the right into the corner of a wall. Dent straight in the curve, paint is flaking off.
Seeing as original tanks cost a fortune and the repair (fixing the dent, repainting) probably as well, what are my options here? Any suggestions?
Looking for suggestions on trustworthy shops to install motorcycle exhausts in the eastern Iowa area as well as shops selling exhausts.
I like the sounds of CS Racing / Austin Racing so far. Looking for a little throaty and obviously deeper than stock.
Any help is appreciated.
