I like the PR3's on there. Unless you're doing track days or some super serious canyon carving, I bet the PR3's will have enough grip and last 5-10k miles. I have them on my FZ1 and after 6000 miles, the rear is showing some wear, but still plenty of tread and the front almost looks new.

I'd like to see a rear seat cowl since you removed the rear pegs. Close the trophy shelf.

That is a sweet looking bike. I'm still a bit biased toward the R1 for looks, but the CBR is right up there (except for the exhaust I'm sorry, but I really hate the stock exhaust on there) I've considered the CB1000 if I were to get a new bike, but I think I'd lean toward the Ninja 1000. Who knows. I have no money for a new bike and I'm still really happy with the FZ1. Enjoy that rocket. I'm just jealous that I'm too fat and old to ride a super sport. :doh2:
 
I like the color of that bike and so far you've done some very tasteful mods. I'm not a fan of the exhaust either, but I've seen worse...lol.
 
Agreed, not a big fan of that exhaust, but it's such a nice bike overall that it's easy to look past it. I don't think it's so much that the exhaust is ugly, but that something better looking would make it look 100% better, which is really saying something.
