Thought id follow the car forum guys and do a build thread for my bike Share how i got o with mods , Problems i came to , things i didn't like etc First time i have done 1 of these so here goes As bought her in april 2011 Nice and shiny I had to get a pic of the 1 mile on the clock lol
The first thing i had to sort out was the license plate hanger / Skitching bar so i ordered an integrated tail light , ditched the hanger and made a plate and bracket to put my number plate on much better
Keeping the bike standard lasted about 3 days so as soon as i got paid i ordered some Traktech Levers , Goodrich Braided lines , A chinese copy seat cowl and some Renthal soft grips
Next on the mod list was an exhaust so i took a punt on a Hotbodies MGP Growler Bad idea LoL . No boss for the oxygen sensor so i had to get an eliminator as i had an FI light on . Second problem was that the can was ridiculously loud . Im talking hurt your ears loud lol It had to go so i found a Scorpion at a good price and went for that . The seller also had a set of Motographics , A beouwolf rad guard and a hot bodies under tray so i bought the lot of him lol (Didn't think much of the under tray and lights so i sold it on for double what i paid lol) Oh and must not forget the 1000RR.CO.UK stickers on my DB Screen
Next came another multi buy from the same seller Landed a Power Commander 5 , Carbon Front Fender and a Carbon Hugger
I was happy at that for a while but then i found a Yoshi R77 stainless with carbon end cap for 200 notes and could not resist lol
Added some home cut tank grip buy Motrax and i picked up some carbon heel plates from GB Moto. Oh and some CBR engraved bar ends
Next on the mod list was rear sets so after a lot of research i decided on S.E.S in silver post image wordpress gif upload upload gif
I was supposed to be saving and waiting for the NEC but a group by came up on here for GIpro gear indicators ( Thanks damo ) and i went for a green 1
My chinese seat cowl blew off so i bought a proper Honda racing cowl . Fitted my Pipercross Air filter today ( cheers Jonny on the group buy ) Im going to pick up a brembo mc and GBracing engine guards at the NEC but this is how she stands now , Im really enjoying the bike and cant wait till next summer I knew i forgot something ... Frame sliders .. Brittish racing company .. ill update when i remember the name but they supply to a lot os BSB suoerstock teams £40.00.. Plus the clear headlight covers to protect them from stone chips
We had them for 80 odd i think it was mate . Easy to fit on my non ABS but i think the boys with ABS had a bit more of a fiddle Setting the gears with the bike running on a paddock stand was the dodgiest . Reving in 6th gear i was thinking if this comes of the stand now its gonna do a backflip straight into my washing machine Ha Ha
Stickers from Pity ( came with the T shirt ) and some gold preload adjusters from the netherlands ....10 bucks so why not init lol
Sure do mate . Whats slowed me down lately is buying a car and doing work on that . Just lowered the car and looking at rims now . Gotta have a second hobby or you get burnt out on the same thing to much
