Track bike build

Thanks for the comments guys.

Managed to get the bike started this afternoon after I'd finished work. Bikes sounding superb, however the fueling need to be addressed. There were flames shooting everywhere.

Still waiting on frame covers. Taking ages to be deliverd

 

Finally had the frame covers from Pro-Fiber come through today, so fitted them. Tidied up the electrics and rear undertray. Made a by-pass for the side stand switch and removed the left hand switch gear.

Please excuse my messy shed carpet lol

 

How do the covers seem fit wise?
I've got a tank cover from Pro Fiber lately and the fit was pretty good.

 

Yeah pretty good. Used plenty of adhesive and cable ties to hold in place while it all sets. I'm confident once set and the cable ties are off the fit will be superb

 

Have You got a link Russ? I want some

 

Carbon Fiber Frame Covers-Protectors (pair) for Honda CBR1000RR 2008-2010

Takes approx 5-7 days for delivery, but by far the best frame guards Iv fitted. Good price too. I'll be ordering more bits from Pro-Fiber soon

 

Cheers buddy. I'll be getting some along with the swimgarm protectors i think

 

I think I'll get the engine covers next. Not sure yet

 

Call him he might do a deal.

Like the ally swing arm with black frame

 

Agreed mate. Think the ally swing arm and black frame looks factory lol

 

Looks very nice mate. I think a big purchase is in order soon for a load of carbon

 

Faring shave been picked up by my mate. Hope to have them with me soonish. Been told my Ohlins shock will be off the production line 20th Jan, so something to look forward to in the new year.

Bought some Brembo M4 mono blocks, brembo RCS braking master cylinder and braided lines today. Should have them Monday

I'll put some pics up as soon as if made a bit of progress

 

Can somebody remind me what the score with the expansion bottle is.
Is it just a case of replacing the coolant bottle with the one in the pic?

 

One pipe runs from the rad to the bottle and the other pipe runs from the tank overflow

 

Ahh. I understand the bit about the fuel overflow incase the bike gets dropped, but how does the other pie come from the rad?

 

Same idea mate

 

It's the pipe that runs to the expansion tank infront of the swingarm from the overflow on the rad.. Just catches any excess steam that's condesed with the bike boiling up

 

Russ,

Is that the standard swingarm?

 

Yes mate, it's the standard swingarm

Well crimbo came early for me today

Had a delivery of M4 mono blocks, RCS MC, braided lines and carbon airtubes.


Hope to get all the bits on over the Crimbo break. Also sorted myself out with a set of 2014 wheels and some Brembo HPK break discs. They have been ordered but doubt I'll see them before Christmas. Ill have the fairings over Christmas, so looking forward to getting them fitted. More pics once somthing has actually happened lol
