My CRR1000RR-05

I love the look with the pipe exit out of the undertray. Whatever the colour, it looks great.
1 thing tho, the rear res needs moving behind a sidepanel or something?
Can't wait to meet up at the Ace n see it in the flesh, if ya goin.

Cheers Fringe, it took months of searching daily to find that exhaust system but well worth it i think. The rear res is coming off, i've got the HRC mini res sitting in the garage ready to go on along with the red Venhill braided hose
I'll be at the Ace dude, really looking forward to it

Just been down to the sprayshop to collect my wheels, i must say hes done an amazing job, really pleased with the result but gonna have to wait till Tuesday to have the tires fitted now

They look crackin mate!

The bike is gonna be the dogs when there fitted!!

That'll be the finishing touch right there WB

Nice touch with the gold wheels mate.I think my bike is going to look underdressed for the blade day,time to get on the net and sort that out.

Lookin really nice mate.

Stunning Bill, look forward to seeing them on the baron!

Looks great WB. Lets us know when the grand opening coz I'll be there.

Cheers folks... I'm hoping the wheels will be the finishing touch fingers crossed.
I should have it back together on Tues/Weds then as i mentioned before i've got a few little bits left to do to finish it, i reckon about 2 weeks and it'll be completely done (except crash bungs) and ready for action

Are you going to get that signature picture made into a sticker?

Na, a bit cheeky really because i just nicked it off a powerboat racing website
Still unsure what to do with the belly pan as far as decals go, gonna just leave it blank until i have one of those inspirational moments but that also means it could be blank for years

The whole bike is made up of inspirational moments mate, you've done a great job - think you should get a black Honda sticker same size as the orignal with a gold border.

Cheers dude, i know that must've been difficult to write considering it's the nemesis colour
I was considering just having CBR1000RR along the bottom in gold where the old Honda decal used to be but after thinking about it i've changed my mind, i also don't think any black decals will work because all the others are coming off, the only decal on the whole bike will be the gold Honda sticker on the tank.

I think i need to look at it in the sun once it's finished and see what happens

Leave it clear for a while mate, I'm leavin mine til I get some inspiration. May be when we meet up in Hastings?

The 'fireblade' logo would also look good in gold.

Ok just a quickie because i've got to get back down the garage to tidy up and put my bikes away...
Got my wheels on at last, been so busy at work i've just been too fooked to fit them but my boss kindly let me do a sneaky half day today so i spent the afternoon in the garden sorting out Mr Baron



Once again i'm happy with the results, even went out for a 10min spin and had a little pose, it certainly got some looks, nothing to do with the cosmetics, it's because that pipe takes the pi$$!
It's really loud

Wheels look super WB, and I can vouch for the pipe, it's deafening!

Going to the cafe tomorrow on it mate? I might get my blade thing out!

Sounds like a good idea to me mate, i'll give you a buzz in the morning me ole china

Looks like you need some elbow grease on the exhaust downpipes though ?

Yeh you quite right but i think your talking about the link pipe. I was intending on spraying it but i just completely forgot so i'm gonna buy another one and fit that at some point. Not in no great rush now it's back together, i may just leave it till Oct/Nov when it goes back into hibernation for tinker time.

The linkpipe and downtube.

No need to paint it as they polish up really well, or you could get it ceramic coated a colour of your choice.

I've still got 3/4 of a tin of VHT Alloy sitting on the shelf ready to do the link & down tube I may get the elbow grease on it at some point in the next week or so to try and improve it for the Mayday but failing that... it's there till end of playtime

That looks the muts nuts mate!!

great reading and a lovely bike.

My fav colour is red with gold and that bike just makes me dribble.

Have you thought about the gold forks from the HRC 07 model?

Thanks fermit, the 07 forks a great idea! I may look into the 07 fork option later on in the year, i won't be able to spend any more for a while or the Mrs will kill me

Dont tell her...

Had a surprise visitor this morning Wild Bill turned up and in reality a proper Officer and Gentleman but he brought with him one noisey bitch. Like a true woman she wanted to play to the camera
and so tantalising begged to be mounted, WB made sure the keys were tighter than Megawillys wallet so had to go for other option. The lens dont do this baby any justice.
