: KWComps 2006 R1 Custom RT Superbike
KWComp 10-30-2007, 04:03 AM Still a work in Progress. Some updates since these pics were taken - Removed the Galfer Wave rotors because they didnt work well with the smaller swept area of the AP Calipers and added several sponsor Stickers to the Lower Fairings. Plans this Winter are to send the Engine to KWS for a superbike build, re-vamp the rear brakes with an AP or Brembo Caliper to try and get more feel out of them, and replace the ECU with a new Bazazz unit.
And yes, it has FLAMES on it. Real Hot Rods have Flames :fact :rofl

Bogie 10-30-2007, 04:18 AM Pictures don't do the paint justice. You have to see it in person to really get the full effect!! ;)

:yes If I had it to do over again I would use more flake and have it tinted under the candy. The way we layered it on this one the bike has to be in direct sunlight to really look kick azz.

We cleared (clear coat) the carbon fiber, then taped off the flames where they needed to be. Lay down the color and then the pearl and then the metallic, untape, and put some more clear on.

gsxcorey 10-30-2007, 04:25 PM kwcomp: some ideas for you
cf frame
titanium sprockets/chain

I think those would be great things to have custom made up for yourself. If you need help w/ the financial aspects I can donate 5 dollars :)

:imwst absolutely stunning bike with some quality components :old

Captain Squid 10-31-2007, 05:57 AM That's a dman good idea Kev! How hard was that to fab up? It sucks either unplugging, ot pulling fuses
KWComp 10-31-2007, 06:07 AM How hard was what to fab up?
Captain Squid 10-31-2007, 06:15 AM the switches for your headlights. I might have to do that this weekend, it would come in handy
KWComp 10-31-2007, 06:25 AM the switches for your headlights. I might have to do that this weekend, it would come in handy
LOL, good idea Bro, but the switches arent for my head lights. What you are talking about would be easy to do though. Just find the power wire going to your head light relays and splice a switch in line.
Honestly, I think I would just pull the fuse though or unplug the head lights if you can reach the connector. The switches I have are for the Bling Bling LED lights and angel eyes.
No1stunner 10-31-2007, 06:43 AM yes I STILL LIKE IT!

Nice set Up! I Was wondering where i would put those!
i Was thinking in the Trim panels, ontop of the Ducts!;)

words just can't describe the sight of Kevin cruising down the road on his R1 with those hot pink LED's & angel eyes :rofl
he even has a matching mohawk for his lid :laugh

Thats Gangsta - Motor City style and you know it Ron. :fact Besides that, I won that helmet from you on a bet and you been trying to get it back ever since. :rofl
KWComp 11-01-2007, 03:23 AM kwcomp are you going to contact any mags about it?
yeah, but not till I am closer to being done Corey. There is way to much left to do before its actually going to be worthy of the title "Street Legal Superbike", and it wont be done till it meets those standards. :mrgreen

KWComp 11-13-2007, 08:34 AM Need some input guys...Dropping the seat off to get some upholstery work done and I have three ideas. I am either going to continue the flames onto the seat, or continue the racing stripes from the tail section onto the seat (having them converge and go to the tank), or a white embossed Yami logo....any input?
Captain Squid 11-13-2007, 08:43 AM not sure Kev....that thing looks SWEET as is! :fact

1. flames
2. racing stripes
avoid the logo :yes
Looking good as always Kev!
Captain Squid 11-14-2007, 12:51 PM You still going to retain the vibe rider insert you have???

:confused :eek :rock . . . :rofl
drsaenz 11-16-2007, 09:56 AM kev are those crg bar end mirrors you have and how do u like them want to buy a pair for my r1, u have one or two.....
KWComp 11-16-2007, 10:03 AM Yeah, its the CRG Hindsight LS. I only use one and its worked fine for me, but I dont do to much heavy traffic riding, if you ride in heavy traffic you will want two. Also, dont get the cheaper ones. The LS is the only one to get, way more adjustable and its easy to fold up out of the way if you park in tight places. The way it folds also keeps it from getting snapped off if your bike tips over or if someone walks too close to your bike (possible pulling your bike over if it snags on them).
drsaenz 11-16-2007, 12:25 PM thanks for the info kev...

those are fookin sweet, I actually think they look better than Brembo's :bow
we gotta take up a collection to get you some rims Kev, that would really set the bike off nicely . . . maybe some BST's or some of the new style Marchesini's in magnesium :jiggy
Firehawk 01-02-2008, 03:30 PM those are fookin sweet, I actually think they look better than Brembo's :bow

KWComp 06-25-2008, 05:15 AM Thank you for the compliments guys. It was my first outing to the track this year, and the first time for my 06 on the track. It is soooooooooo much faster than my 02 was its insane.
Here are a couple more from the shop when I was getting ready for the track day. Painted this one myself. Hugger Orange (69 Camaro) with a satin clear. Wasnt to sure about the color with the satin clear when I first got done spraying, but after I mounted everything up it didnt look to awful bad.
