My 2008 RR6.

Just done a few modifications. I always wanted a Rothmans Fireblade (used to have Rothmans NS400R) in the 80's.

 

NIce mate not keen on the rim tape! but i personally hate rim tape lol

 

sex on wheels mate

 

Very nice Hondo ... thats a very small can on there ... bit loud is it ???

I SAID ... BIT LOUD IS IT

 

Thanks fellas. It surely is sex on wheels. I am chuffed to bits with it.

As for the small can, it is loud without the baffle in. But with the baffle in it is quite reasonable and civilised. Nice rasp to it at 11,000 rpm though. The can is made by a small company up here in rural Lincolnshire (A16 Road N Race) and is great quality. I didn't want a can that stuck out the back end like some you see. As for the rim tape, well I had it in my garage doing nothing and thought I'd try it. This is the first time I have ever used rim tape but to be honest I really like it. All my mates here love it.

 

Wow .. It looks a different bike bike. Where is the fairing kit from ? Any fitting issues ? or quality issues ?

 

Hi Dan.

The fairing kit is from China as you probably guessed. I am well chuffed with the quality and fit as I took a gamble. Auctmarts is the name of the firm on ebay. No fitting issues at all. I had one quality issue, the tank cover is damaged. The company are sending me a replacement free of charge so good service too.

 

Well it sure looks sweet from here ....... I recon your gamble payed off . :Banane35:

 

Cheers mate.. They do look awesome. I very nearly made the gamble with my last bike but having never seen any up close i just ended up buying the blade. My Gloss black paint work is getting small chips and swhirl marks already after only 1800 miles so by next sumer i may well go for a new fairing kit. Ill make a note of the seller.

Thanks again

 

Also i notice you have Spyke leathers.. i have a Spyke suit also. Does yours have back to front velcro aswell ?

What i mean is, i purchased new knee sliders a few weeks back only to find that the new sliders and my spyke leathers both have the hooked side velcro so i need to buy some fluffy side to make a stick between pad.
Apparently Spyke are the only leathers that use the velcro the other way around

 

Hi Hondo

That looks very nice indeed, I'll look out for you out and about and have a proper look. Good design choice in my view.

 

Cheers Carl. See you about.:victory::smile:

 

No, my spyke leathers are normal velcro. My Corner race leathers have reversed velcro though, just like yours. Want to buy a brand new set of sliders with the correct smooth side for your leathers? I have a set brand new.

 

looks great, love the rothmans colours.
