Got it to me in 4 days over 4th of july weekend!!!! :boobies
Made me a great deal on a Cabon Fiber fender, and 2 winscreens, which are very....VERY flexible.
I have very limited experience with racing bodywork so I can't "review" it but it all went together like it should and some of it was a little tough to get on but the bike is MUCH smaller now IMO, the side pannels HUG all the wiring and ecu bracket and all the fuses on the other side, but I didn't have to modify ANYTHING on the bike, I will do a little trimming here and there when I get the time, but none of it is urgent.
Last thing I am waiting on is the new Matte Grey tank, should be here Monday.
I will paint the fairings but prob not the fender, its CF and pretty.....
I will get everything together and do a trackday or two, then when I am sure I don't need to do anymore trimming or whatever I will have our paint guy at work do them for me.
Hell, I thought about sticker bombing this whole bike!
And if you want to keep the kick stand (does kinda come in handy sometimes) you could always trim the belly pan. That's what I did with my Armour Bodies kit.
Looking good...got some nice stuff going on there. Might want to look at some Dzus fasteners for the bodywork just to make it easier to work with.

Thanks man, I'm over here just trying to live the dream!
I have a spare fastener kit on the way.... They are 1/4 turn fasteners but they don't have the hand key, which i like....... Live and learn.
I probably won't mod the bellypan for the kickstand at this point, I plan on getting my race license this fall or next spring so I can't have it on anyways.....
Those tires are going to be fine for your next trackday. I'd get another rear and mount it on your spare rim for a two day event. This way no worries for the second day, just swap and go. Q3's are fine for one day from what I've seen, just give them a solid lap or two before pushing into the corners.
My current rear has a nice "street" spot aka flat spot on it.... I probably need two rears if I go that route. But without warmers its prob still my best option.
Ohlins TTX25mm Gas Charged Fork Cartridge kit, at a HEAVILY discounted price....... My forks will be in the mail before friday to have them installed. :icon_eek:
I texted Mark @HustleHardracing.com last night, yes..... texted him, when I found out online that they only had 1 more set for the 09-14 R1's and told him to please hold them for me because I couldn't see the price being cheaper anywhere else.... I literally couldn't finish my dinner.... I felt sick to my stomach..... and i started sweating..... :eek5:
I talked with some buddies and decided that when I start racing I'd like to do it in the SuperStock class so that I can sort of afford all the mods that are allowed :33:
I don't see myself wanting to race in Superbike when I don't want to spend 3k on wheels and another 3-4k on the motor plus boltons.....
Anyways I hope to keep ya'll filled in on what else I will try to do, I plan on still doing a TTX rear shock, Graves linkage with adjustable Link Rod, a tune with SBU, Ceramic Wheel bearings and a few other nick nacks.
Stay tuned :fork
P.S. thanks to @APO2112 for the advice last night and our pal Nate for always being Nate LOL (Nates not on the Forum)
Thanks to Mark and Brandon, they are very quickly earning ALL of my money for just being kicka$$ dudes
Hey guys, I will be removing my Brembo RCS 19 and matching clutch lever soon to put my stock back on for SuperStock rules.... If anyone wants first dibs before I put up a for sale thread let me know.
WERA SuperStock rules don't allow for aftermarket MC. The clutch lever is a matching Brembo so it's just a simple way to get back to stock parts.
My advice @Banky is to invest in some quality levers like ASV. The stock MC is radial so the power will be close to the Brembo, feel won't be that great. Nothing a riding style change can't solve!
I'll run stock right now..... My first priority on spending once I recover from the blood loss of this suspension setup LOL is to get the SBU linkage and adjustable rod so I can finish my geometry whenever that comes up.
Bikes coming along nice at a pretty fast pace. Good luck with the racing once you get it all setup!!! BTW, what exhaust are you running, I couldn't tell from the pics or maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
