Re: My CRR1000RR-05
The ultra cheap seat cowl turned up from China today, so the moment of truth... Do they fit ok? Is it a good colour match?
Well it fits perfect, it has 4 phillips screws underneath and i had to loosen them, then you can move the cowl about once it's on to get it lined up and central, once you've got it just right take it off and do the screws up...easy. As for the colour, it's not an exact match but very close, it may be more visible in daylight but under 2 florescent tubes it looks ok. I've got a couple of things that i'm getting colour matched to my bike so i may as well get it done (for what it will cost) but it'll do me fine for now.
Also had my mini LED indicators turn up from the states today. When you take off the OE indicators these LED ones apparently fit perfectly in the hole and sit nice and flush with the fairing, we'll see this weekend

I think the colour difference will be more noticeable tomorrow in the daylight, once i've got these indicators fitted i'll roll it out the garage (if it's not raining) and have a proper look.

It did end up staying in the garage all day, not because of the rain (it was quite a nice day) but because i woke up with a rotten bloody cold! Can't believe it, hope it's not the dreaded swine Been indoors all day feeling sorry for myself, hope i feel a bit better tomorrow so i can have a tinker.

Re: My CRR1000RR-05
I might be sick as a dawg but its been like christmas day for me today and i'm certainly feeling a lot better now, got a phone call from the mrs today to say i had 2 deliveries turn up! So i open up the first box and almost start dribbling when i see my carbon swinging arm panels...
This is the Exhaust system i've been looking everywhere for, i kid you not, i have searched every night religiously for the past 3 months for this...
It's called a Hotbodies moto gp style underseat exhaust system, you may have heard lots of mixed reviews about this system, the main ones are... There is no map available, the undertray can warp when ridden for long periods of time (eg touring) and they only add 4-6bhp but...
I'm not getting a PCIII so don't require a map, i'm certainly not doing distance/touring on it, and this bike is ample fast enough for me as it is so 4-6bhp is a bonus! On the plus side they look fooking gorgeous, apparently sound amazing, and most importantly, there fooookin loud
This is what it should look like once it's properly cleaned up and sprayed...

I never liked the Under seat exhaust much but that looks great.
Shame you have to fit a number plate, it'll spoil the look.
Unless you got a cunning plan, Baldrick?
Will you be posting a vid so we can hear it?

Can't beat a good bit of CF & as the the hotbodies undertail exhaust 'Love it!' I've always liked those systems, you'll be searchin for ear plugs after yer first blast though!

Re: My CRR1000RR-05
They say you don't need any extra heat protection but the guy i bought it from suggested to fabricate a mini heat shield out of the existing shield because the passenger seat can get quite warm. The undertray that it comes with has plenty already on there.Kaiser wrote:Does the tail piece require any heat protection for the plastic tail ?

No cunning plans or tricks up my sleeve for the plate, gonna do one of two options...Fringe wrote:I never liked the Under seat exhaust much but that looks great.

1) Just get a nice illegal strip numberplate
2) Been looking into getting an American style pressed tin plate on it like the picture at the bottom
Never! May even drill 2 x 3" holes in both sides of my lid where my ears are so i can hear my pack of horses even moregriz wrote:Lookin good WB!

This is the kind of look i'm aiming for, that is a US bike plate, an illegal strip plate would sit just behind those indicators and tuck away quite nicely, i'll see once it's on
It won't be fitted till the new year tho, alas Chrimbo has stopped play

Re: My CRR1000RR-05
get some VHT paint from halford and spray that mother fucker black and it will tidy up the tail no end, that is probably the nicest looking exhaust I have seen for an undertail but hope it doesn't cause problems later.
Hotbodies are not the best for build quality so check out the welds and the fitment of the plastic and deal with it before you put it together rather than later when it becomes a problem.

Re: My CRR1000RR-05
Cheers, it took a while to find one but i knew it was just a matter of time, i also have read many posts at various web sites about people being unhappy with the build quality of these HB GP style systems, i don't think the problem is the actual pipe or link, nearly all the negative posts have been about the undertail/tray warping or not fitting properly, i think only time will tell.
Even though it needs the wire wheel running over it and several layers of VHT paint i just had to do a mock-up today (it would be rude not too!)... Believe it or not it wasn't that hard to fit, the hard bit was taking the OE system off and removing the EXUP thingamebob, once the OE system was off the HB exhaust went on easy. Here are a couple of shots of it on, i still need to get a clamp for the link and as Deathace mentioned give the HB a few coats of VHT then get the undertail/tail colour matched.
Here's a little sound bite for ya, i'm definitely gonna have to be careful where i open this up now, the old bill will be swarming round me if i give it even a slight twist of the throttle, the video don't really do justice to just how deep and loud this pipe is

We all know cameras are not great at passing off the sound quality but it gives an idea and to be honest m8 it sounds lush.

Sounds lovely Bill - like something you'd find in a pit lane, very nice.
Could you take a cast of that undertray before you paint + fit it so you have one as a backup?
