My V-twin Beast!( 2000 Honda RC-51)

July 28, 2009 by rexmitchell 

Here is my 2000 Honda RC-51. It sports dual Arrow carbon fiber pipes, a hot bodies undertail with integrated turn signals, tinted screen, and a nasty set of LED’s. 2000 was the first year that the RC-51 was made, it was also the year that it won the AMA superbike championship. 1000 cc’s of V-twin power make this bike awesome. It is located deep in the heart of Texas and driven by yours truly…….The first pic is in front of the Capital of Texas in Austin. The second is at an abandon bridge down my lake Austin.

And some with the LED’s

LOL, no its back under the undertail, look at the second picture, then look at my left rearset and to the left of it, you can see my inspection sticker, then look to the right of it and you will see the Texas symbol on my plate. Toll roads can't touch me and it just passed inspection.

Honestly from a car from behind, the plate is visible...never had a problem yet....plate light is out now though....need to be careful of that.

True enough. I rode for two years on a borrowed bike (friend's, not stolen.) with no license! (I was under-age.) At 6'2" in ATGATT following the traffic laws, no one knew.

P.S.: Don't do this, it IS illegal.

Rex, your bike is awesome!!!

This looks like the winner to me! I prefer the color blue personally, but the dual disc brakes and all that make this one really stand out.

What's the story on adding those LED's?

No story really, just like the glow, think it makes any bike look good, or at least better.

I was asking more about the technical aspect of adding them. Is it custom? If so what's involved in adding them? I am curious what it all takes!

Absolutely custom, Led pods, double sided tape, fuses, and a lot of wire and work.
