spent the last year on a few mods.The engine has worked heads,cams HRC gearbox etc and should have a few horse power!

holy cow that is a carbon machine...


Damn still :drool over those rotors for sure

sooooo ummm...its a honda CBR1000RR right??? hard to tell lol looks fuggin sweet you have done some serius work with it very nice!! and welcom to the forum! btw is that a headlight in the front??? just so its street legal right?

Very nice... :drool

Time to paint or powder-coat the tank... :r1lover

hi mate
the tanks been painted!
heres how the bike looked a few weeks ago
its a little 50mm piaa headlight

I spent 2500 or so on paint and race bodywork,then after was given the carbon bodywork.its worth over 5000us(just 12 sets or so made by HMJ for the JSB race series.built by a Japanese company that makes F1 bodywork)

She's a BEAUTY bro....awesome job!!!!!!

Haven't seen those calipers actually mounted on a bike before. I've seen Red Racing Parts selling them. Very trick looking.

Does the line out of the oil fill run to a reservoir, crankcase or something? Interesting setup.

Paint looks tits too. Great job, bro!

thanks!
the line from the crankcase is a breather
the engines pretty high comp now,so figure would help with pressure
the calipers are great.really worth it

:cool

What I meant was to match the carbon body, or are you planning to paint the carbon bodywork instead? :)

sorry!
just going to keep the carbon look
just need to take some better shots but looks cool sometimes
aslo like the fact its maintenance free etc

Absolutely beautiful!! :mrgreen

appreciate the good words
But runs super hot due to the high comp engine,gearing is way too high(should fix that with the 15 tooth front im putting on)and im scared somethings going to come off and kill
me at 260kph!
I really would like a totally stock bike at the moment!
Buts its basically a JSB superbike.Has a 3000 dollar HRC akrapovic system(different from the normal akrapovics.I spent alot of time and cash to make a fan unit that would fit in the space...the headers are so fat that a stock fan wont fit.destroyed an HRC radiator in the process....)

I had the exact same issue....but I found that 1) i never sit in traffic long enough to worry about one and 2) it never seems to get hot enough. She runs around 160 F most of the time, even in the gears on the freeway. I actually thought about taping her up a bit.

Oh....and that means I don't run a cooling fan. :)

:thumbup Thats a good looking bike!

FH - What headers do you have on your bike?

Akra race....wish they were Evo, but oh well. :)

There was an Akra EVO system on sale on R1F a couple days ago for 98-01 R1's.... Ill see if I can find the link if you are interested

Absolutely fookin gorgeous bike Simon :bow

Both the painted & CF bodywork look incredable. all the HRC bits are sweet, love the Beater 24L alloy endurance tank too. The suspension & brakes are very well thought out. Hows the cf bodywork compare to MR's, it looks slightly duller (less gloss), almost dry/matte finish. You'll have to post some dyno numbers when you get it dialled in :yes

Very nice! How bright is that little PIA?

A little over the top for my personal tastes, but thats what makes your own bike a personal machine.
Nice job!!!!
Are you gonna track/race that bike?

oooo pretty carbon... :drool

very sweet bike

Great looking bike :thumbup

Hi Ron
the carbon is very special(retail over 5000us for the fairing and tail)
its better than current moto gp fairings(its made by an F1 supplier to Honda and toyota)and its pre preg

totally different from magical racing.
I agree the bike is a bit much,but just was a project,and i am lucky to have contacts to Honda race teams so can get parts pretty cheaply(or free..)
for the track if i take that bike i will get some Magical racing FRP bodywork.Much cheaper and no worries about crashing etc.But these days dont do much track riding due to time etc
The PIAA light is very very bright!

Yikes! Some of the work you put into that is amazing! Not to mention the pricing. Wow.

Absolutely beautiful!! :mrgreen

:imwst:rock

sweet:rock

:drool

:confused



Ride safe.

Very nice simon! Think thats the most exotic bike I have ever seen on any forum :drool

thanks guys!
went for a ride today,but still overheating.Looks like im going to need a different exhaust(the HRC one is too fat for a fan unit,i made one myself but doesnt seem to do much as i cant bend the fan blades to be effective)so will swap for a road exhaust with thinner headers
need to change the head gasket to a thicker one(luckily HRC has 3 thicknesses)and get a stock fan unit
more hassle and kinda bumbed as this projects taken over a year!......

this is the last bike im mucking with..from now i want as stock as possible(sick of spending time and money when i should be riding the bloody think)

a K-Factory full system would look sweet on it :yes

seeing your last couple bikes . . . somehow I just can't imagine you with a stock bike :rofl

wow...Nice Bike man!

What kind of rear Rotors are those??

Hahaha!
but if i buy say a ducati 749R its already pretty modded so i dont need to touch anything(except a japanese titanium exhaust,brembo masters...oh shit)
the rotors are by disciccati.very light,fully floating and great feel and control.the calipers are by them too(better than brembo imo.super power and very light touch due to titanium pistons and cool quality

intersting about the k-factory Ron.Ill think about it

sell the HRC Akro and get an Opium full system :bow

no need!
i installed my power commander and the things runs fine now
i though coz i have an HRC ecu it would be enough,but the power commander has sussed it out(i pumped the gas levels up in all regions)
bike runs awsomely now!

wow simon i love your bikes your 900rr was amazing too props

Not a huge fan of pure cf bodywork, but i love seeing mirrors, swingarm, fenders, and bits and pieces in cf. I think painted cf with parts exposed would look nuts though. Be neat to see like 25% cf showing through and 75% painted. Just my persona opinion, but damn it's hard to paint cf when it costs so much LOL

That bike has some badass parts simon :) I love the design of those mirrors. type 4 i believe...look nuts

got some Ohlins forks and a new exhaust system heading my way
ill put some stickers on the carbon to break it up,but the stuffs so light its unreal
and the bike is a monster.At least 180hp at the rear wheel with the worked engine and HRC ecu.its unreal........
(the HRC manual says it gains 25HP for just the cams and some porting,and my heads have been skimmed too for higher comp)

ohlins forks are incredible...slapped them on our k7 and it was very noticeable. Once you go with ohlins you'll never want to go back.

you've gotta have as much money into that CBR as I have into my condo :rofl

Luckily i didnt pay retail etc for most of it!but yeah,the HRC stuff will be around 10,000 retail (exhaust 3000,gearbox 2000,subframe 800,fairing mount 500,ecu etc300,rad,500cams etc 2000,engine work maybe 1500 or so
But im never doing this kind of modding again.too much hassle and stress

looking foward to riding with ohlins forks,as im going to get back into riding alot again(havent done much for the past 5 years)
But its just a bike,not really that proud of it for some reason......
Wish i could a dyno done,but its hard to find a good dyno tuner etc in japan these days(they arent popular here)

Well...that pretty much explains why Ducati won the championship...:lmao

installed the bastards.Go for a spin in the morning
only prob was the bracket for the front fender(i have an old prototype magical racing one and was a bit tricky to mount)
Sure they will be great(the rear shocks make a big difference,so cant wait to try these)hope the weathers fine

Sweet!! :rock

Something to be said about bikes with a lot of work to them. While they're beautiful, and expensive, you almost hate to ride them just because of the investment in them. You're bike is really looking good with all the different parts on it, Simon. A little over the top for me, as I like to do minor personalization and ride them as much as possible.

Everyone has their own style, and there's nothing wrong with that. :)

BTW, didn't you also used to have an R1?

Bought the forks for riding with!
they are superb.the bike is stable over rough surfaces etc and much nicer under braking.They are a great investment(should have got them earlier,but i blindly believed the showa units were quality(they are like chalk and cheese.OEM and Ohlins)

All my mods(except the swingarm armour and meter cover)are performance enhancements.brakes,suspension,lighter bodywork,better positioned clip ons and rear sets,engine,exhaust power delivery,drive chain,mirrors,lighter higher capacity fuel tank,all stuff that helps the ride i think!(even the line from the oil filler makes a difference with internal pressure and a high comp engine)
Hope i get more chances to ride until it get really cold.......
Havent had an R1 yet.Almost bought a 98 blue model about 7 years ago,but got a TL instead
cheers everyone!Thanks for letting me show mu machine here!

lets see some TL pics :moped

This bike was an early 97 model.engine has ported heads,original nasty ECU and titanium yoshi system.got 122ps at the rear wheel.Bike was destroyed by a cage with me on it,and i spent 8 months in hospital coz of that...
awsome totally evil bike.I became a nutter when i rode it

Very nice simon i always haved liked TLS's sucks what happend to ya though good to see you have bounced back :moped

thanks mate
i was pretty screwed,broken pelvis,my talus bone was broken in 2 and was compounded(meaning a big hunk of bone was pushed out of my ankle,lovely white colour!)other ankle broken,hand,and all 4 ligaments on my left leg were totally screwed

i wore this for about 4 months before i could have reconstructive surgery on my knee(got some funny stares!
The ankle was the most werious,and i was very close to being like mick Doohan with his ankle ingury.But luckily i was 27 and healed fast and had some good surgeons(hit and miss in japan)
the TLS is a monster.Wheelbase like an RGV250,and tons of snot.Tanks just a little big for cornering,but great on highways.Chewed through petrol too quickly though.Ill never get another japanese twin as they are too uneconomical(id only get 60km before the low tank light started if i remember

^ :eek

Glad you have bounced back and still able to enjoy riding.

i did my talus to about 4 years ago amongst other injuries, still only have 40% movement in my left ankle, nasty injury, they were contemplating amputating my leg below the knee if it didn't heal properly and my foot died, luckily it didn't, but will have to have my ankle pinned in 1 position in the next 5 - 10 years as the arthritis is a bitch.

awesome tl by the way!

cheers!its a miracle my talus bone fuses,as the whole thing was basically pushed out of the ankle,so all veins etc were torn,and the talus has no real blood supply so necrosis was a real posibility.
Its a little difficult to change gears and my ankle will always look nasty due to swelling,messed up cartilage,but im lucky for the time being
Sorry for your troubles mate.sounds terrible.Hope you can ride during the time its being pinned

Simon the bike is awesome man. I'm not too partial to the single round head light though. I wish some one would offer better alternatives for customizing.

im getting a custom endurance unit made!its just for the time being!

i still have lots of saved pics that you have posted over the years simon.:bow your bike STILL looks incredible.:drool:thumbup

wwooowwwwww.....nice cbr

cheers!it rides really well now.Just going to change the exhaust to a normal akrapovic evolution so i can use a stock fan and it will be set
i was thinking about getting an aftermarket swingarm for the cbr1000,but i might buy a new bike
either a 749R,RC45 or maybe a zx10r(2004 model)or even an R7(this one here)
decide soon i think!

http://www.goobike.com/cgi-bin/search/spread.cgi?8500623B30060511001+

how much are they asking for that R7?
