Pimp my '11 CBR1000RR

[96]

Ok, maybe not entirely my bike, but I have been tasked with blinging up our (the Honda shop's) 2011 Honda cbr1000rr. She's all black, silver sub frame, silver frame, silver swingarm.

Already got a pretty good idea of what I want on it, but just thought I'd gauge interest, see what own would do to a brand spankers blade given the chance.

So, my list so far (yes I have a budget, no I don't know what it is)

FMF carbon fibre slip on muffler
Black pillion seat cover
Remove rear pillion pegs
Honda tinted screen
Black asv leavers with red adjusters
Red braided lines
Red rim stripes
Gb racing engine covers
No fender eliminator, but we can slim the standard one down with 2 bolts and looks a treat
Pro Fibre carbon fibre frame guards
Hrc carbon look tank and fuel cap protectors


Any other obvious things you'd add?
What about things in my list that just make your stomach churn...

When you take the rear pegs off, put a set of Sato Street Hooks back on. Allows you to easily put the pegs back on if you want while also giving you a tie down point should you need one. And believe me, you only want to take the back end apart once!

Also go a PCV & take it to Russell.

Only other thing I'd add is a set of crash nobs....oh, & a gear indicator.

Edited for clarifcation. This is the shops bike...

That means pcv is a no go

Will certainly look at those sato street hooks, I know these bikes are stupidly hard to remove/add pillion pegs.

Never even thought of a gear indicator

I've done exactly this and it looks hot but I went the double bubble screen and different brand exhaust, levers and rearsets.

If it's black, it must be ABS, just be aware that the brake lines run up the inside of the frame making fitting frame sliders a little harder.

Non abs... 2011 colour scheme.

Beleive me I want rear sets, but not sure how marketable that is, really changes the ride. I like the rise in peg height, I know many that dont though...

Forged alloy wheels.

Not as light/exxy as carbon units but just as sexy

Black asv leavers with red adjusters
Red braided lines

Red anodisation is tacky as fuck.

You missed the part where I had a budget.....

Red anodisation is tacky as fuck.

Not even just a few highlights?

[Desmo]

Nope, you need one main colour (black) and one highlight colour such as gold or silver. You already have Black and silver, so you could look at clear anodised (silver) parts.
Anything else just looks tacky IMO. Coloured anodising is the worst thing you can put on your bike.
If you are going to be building a bike, you want it to look sleek, not as if it was raped by a faberge egg.

EDIT: The top ones will look HEAPs sleeker than the red ones.


The idea is to get it to look sharp and have it all blend and be understated, not stick as many different coloured parts on as you can.

CF Honda Racing front fender and rear hugger ?

No fender eliminator, but we can slim the standard one down with 2 bolts and looks a treat

Would it still be legal?

Non abs... 2011 colour scheme.

Mine is black. Has ABS. Is 2011, I was told at the time black only available with ABS, is that not do?

[96]

As far as I'm aware, yes. It still covers the 45, and is as wide as the contact patch. No shorter, just slimer.

Hmm, something to think about Desmo...
You said all black, and one highlight "silver or gold", I dont see how red is that different. It's not as many coloured parts as I can, it's adjusters within the leavers, lines and rim tape. Very minimal...

Looking at cf huggers front and rear. Just comes down to cost. They are already black, so minimal gain (comparative to blacking a silver part for instance) but carbon is sexual.

[96]

Sorry dude... Hope ya like the abs

Where did ya buy from? Is it deffinatley a 2011 model? The shop should have known that black non abs was available, it's one of only 3 colours, and one of them is repsol.

[Desmo]

Hey dude, it's your gig. I'm just telling you how I feel about coloured anodising.

[Rich]

As far as I'm aware, yes. It still covers the 45, and is as wide as the contact patch. No shorter, just slimer.

The below piece of paper was giving to me by a police officer I was arguing with...

You will note what he underlined...

[96]

All good Desmo. Can see where ya coming from, and that's why I'm asking. Gotta make it nice, without being personal.

Duly noted rich.... Guess it's like the pipe. Buyer beware, original supplied...

Wait what...

The shop is allowed to sell and rego(bulk rego so it never goes over the pits) an unroadworthy motorcycle?

You may wanna check that, thats all I'm saying, not trying to poo poo it or anything...

[milesiles]

Hope ya like the abs

Oh, I must have misunderstood.
Haven't had the pleasure of using it yet luckily.

Go black black and black. (with a little carbon) = hot

[Hewie]

So ... you are building this to resell ? or is it a shop display bike ?

Whats the budget ? are you allowed to paint/coat items ?
