Well a few pictures of my final 2000 R1 rebuild with fresh matt black paint... I kept it similar to the old original grungy paint scheme with a simple sinister Matte / Satin Black and brushed aluminum look. Nothing overstated. when I was researching what colour I wanted, I kept coming back to pictures of black bikes with the original colour frame. Simple was best for me and I like the look.
I got this bike as a beat up cheap R1 last winter, and after much shopping around and patience, I found a treasure trove of replacement parts to make it better than new. The old engine was swapped out and a rebuilt engine from a local gentlemen put in, who had rebuilt and running in a track '99 until he crashed and trashed his frame. I got his parts including engine, and put them all onto my frame.
Engine mods:
-2MM overbore-JE pistons 13:1 compression
-Carrillo connecting rods
-Piston/connecting rod assemblies balanced to within .1 of a gram
-KPI black diamond valves-5 angle valve grind
-Full port/polish job on head, flow matched
-Graves camshaft
-Graves slotted cam sprockets
-APE manual cam chain tensioner
-APE high strength head studs and nuts
-Race prepped crank-Lighted, balanced and polished
-Kehin 41MM FCR carbs - overhauled again.
-QB carbon carbon fiber ram air box
-NGK CR10EK plugs
-Barnett SR-3 pressure plate
-Race cut transmission
-Woodcraft HD case covers
-4 deg advance ignition rotor
-Dual fuel pumps under the tank (yes there barely is room)with Pingle dual flow petcock from the tank to feed this beast! One fuel pump would run into fuel starvation issues at higher RPM.
On frame I have installed:
-EXUP eliminator
-rare Indigo full exhaust with dual Carbon Fiber cans.
-Ohlins rear remote shock and steering damper
-Galfer front rotors new pads all round
-SS brake lines
-Speedo Healer
-Pirelli Supercorsa tires
-fender eliminator
-Ht Moto gripper seats
-new chain and sprockets with gearing to account for the taller 190/55 tire.
Original picture with the decals was with a beat up fairing... I fiberglassed some of the small cracks, some new bits and all recently repainted by myself.
I did have it out on the highway with the old fairings and new engine already, but finally, this is now the final culmination of my finished project 7 months later when I could find time between work and family and 3 adopted children.
Now I have an absolutely rippin' R1 with an engine that I can honestly say; there is nothing more you can do to extract any more power out of it, this is the ultimate 4XV/5JJ engine. Well I might get a few more ponies on pump gas if I fine tuned the cam timing a bit... but good enough for me!
Quite happy mostly due to the fact that I now have a "brand new" old bike that I did the work on myself, and did it for very cheap... thought I would post the pics just before my morning commute to work, out of the garage with the fresh paint.
