Hello From Montebello , CA
Hey guys I've been searching high and low for a active 919 community. I'm Johnny,a 28year old proud Honda 919 owner. I live in Montebello, CA which is just east of Los Angeles. I use my bike to commute 78 miles a day through LA traffic to work.

Welcome!
This is probably the biggest community for 919 owners; to my understanding the ones in Europe are not as active (at least for the 919). But like Ott says, give it a few more months and there will be a lot more activity. Make sure to check out the Helpful Topics sticky

No doubt you found the ONLY 919 forum (but it's not just for 919 owners, although we do like to pride ourselves ;-)
Just don't bother Pvster and you'll be fine.
oh, and WELCOME!

On the 3 picture down it looks like one of the header pipes has a dent in it from a rock or something. It even looks like it is discolored also, or am I just crazy?

@ND I'm sure you're still the only guy who can Power Wheelie out of the main turn on a Silver 919.

@Jim : shot with my gopro HD2 mounted to the tank
@dave, you are correct
@nd4.. sorry man Im learning to wheelie, I can do it in 1ft for a short while, but its hard cuz im fat.
@undercover, you are correct. I need to get new headers, but have 0 money. I was thinking of going to a muffler shop to see if they could hack it our and do a slip on patch job. It was like that from the PO

You could do a 900rr conversion with the single low exhaust
