Hi Ian, some good mods there for sure. Have not however heard about the radiator mod though. I would look at doing the flapper mod (dead easy to do): ROGUE RACING CBR1000RR Intake Flapper Valve page I have also added a set of K&N air filters, a power commander, new exhaust and then had the whole lot set up on the dyno. Makes it run as it should do and with a bit more power too.
Ah the radaitor is just a replacment as its real broken on either side from stones etc i was thinking of getting one in better nik then putting a guard up
Buy light weight wheels and you can thank me after you've fitted them. Forget about exhaust and fairings etc pound for pound, less gyroscopic weight will be the best mob you'll do.

Have not yet got around to getting a Power Commander - map will follow shortly after.. Got the ASV's fitted, look awesome and make a huge difference to clutch change and breaking..well worth the investment - if not ASV, Pazzo or even the cheaper copies as all you need is the adjustment.. Sam
Gonna get one of those today, as far as the double bubble screen goes what works best? as i see there can be quite a difference in price from £30ish to £60ish
Dont go cheap... they will mark/scratch easily.... £60 for a D-B screen is about as cheap as you should go. Powerbronze/MRA/Zero Gravity all get good reviews... then its down to personal preference regarding shape and tints available... I found the MRA ones a bit to square in the "hump" bit of the double-bubble... I went for Zero Gravity dark tint... I posted pics here: click
Hein Gericke did/do a good set of flush fit led indicators. They have a deeper spacer so they are more noticeable when flashing. Or there is a Canadian company that make super bright flush fit led indicators, can't think of their name though.
I had my RR5 fitted with Power Commander, K&N filters and then had a custom map done. Well worth the money. And it is nice to see how much power and torque you are getting before and after. i was seriously impressed with the results.
