CBR600rr 07 Red n Black Theme.

[rc_sam]

After doing some reading I found out it was best to fit this once i had my wheels back on. Reason being that I could lean the bike slightly on it's right hand side and not have to worry about too much oil dripping everywhere.

Original cover


Insides


Cover replaced with woodcraft one, bits bolted in and gasket paste applied


Finished




Just waiting on replacement crash knobs and a few other little items, but at least it's back on the road..

Thanks Hewie, appreciate the comments.
Your bikes make mine look basic..

[semi]

do you really need that much gasket goo on that mate? Seems excessive

[BigTim]

I wouldn't have called that excessive. Decent coverage, sure, but not over the top.

[semi]

oh hang on- it doesnt have a gasket at all? That makes sense then i spose

[rc_sam]

I did'nt put that much on, the layer was reasonably thin.

Edit: No they don't have a gasket, you need to use gasket paste to form a gasket.

Today the postman delivered....

Power Commander & some Galfer HH pads


First thing i did was get on the pc and upload the correct map to suit my exhaust.

So back out to the garage and strip her down again






Tank up and fiddle around trying to reach the injector plugs.
Working from left to right #1 and #2 are easy as, injector 3 needed hands of a 2 year old. #4 easy.


All done, tank back down and fire it up to check it works before putting all the fairings back on.




Would have taken more photos, but it's so damn cold that my camera was starting to get affected by the condensation.
Overall install is easy, probably around 1.5hrs. Spent a fair bit of time fiddling plug #3.

Mate its far from basic. Its coming along really well.

This is exactly how mine first started.

Out of curiousity is the mid pipe powder coated ? I just noticed that just behind the can there seems to be some raw pipe work. ?

Mid pipe is not powder coated, Originally it had heat shields which i painted with high temp paint. Since the slip-on the upper heat shield is no longer, hence the exposed mid pipe.

Bike modding is very addictive.

[Hewie]

Couple of things that spring to mind

Change the rear sprocket - either a red one or a bleck one
Red Silicone Hoses
Bar Ends

[Hewie]

Yes yes it is. And once you start down the path to the dark side there is no turning back.

[Hewie]

Maybe some red chain adjusters, brake resi lids

[rc_sam]

lols....your evil...

Already looking at those things, but my wallet has'nt recovered from this latest batch of goodies yet.

[Hewie]

I know ..... but I can live with it.

[FireStorm]

getting close to a baby version of mine

[jackerz]

just makes me so jealous

but gives me more ideas
