Cheers dude, hoping they will be the finishing touch, still got a handful of bits to finish and that should be it.......for now

 

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 half day today so i spent the afternoon in the garden sorting out my Red Baron (as my kids call it)



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

 

That came together real well. Beautiful!

 

Thanks very much mate, that's about it on this thread now, the rest of the bits won't really make any difference on the appearance so it's pointless me posting them.
Next thing on my "to do" list is ride it!

Cheers.

 

Haha! Well, enjoy it man. And ride safe!

 

total cost?

 

Good question?
I should imagine the total cost (inc the bike) £8000 or $13000
But it's an ongoing project and i'm still changing and buying parts, this is what it looks like now, not much different but no doubt more things will be fitted in time.

 

i have to say, I am a huge fan of the hotbodies undertail exhaust kit. A ton of people bad mouth it because they say it looks like a "poop chute," but I could care less. It is the deepest note you can get for a 1000rr exhaust, so I rock it on my street bike even tho I have a full ceramic coated (JetHot 2000) Arkapovic evo for the bike as well...Just can't get enough of the note it belts out. So low and loud. Not raspy and ricey like other pipes. I want to try and see if I can fashion it to a ceramic coated serpent headers or even my evo headers, just to see if it changes anything (e.g., makes the note lower).

Anyway, nice bike. I like that rear hugger and how you did the white on the tail. Nicely done!

 

Faking Hawt...Love the red/gold/carbon look.

 

Cheers lads...
I couldn't care less what people say about the hotbodies exhaust, the reason i got it was because i think it tidies the rear end up nicely, it looks so much better than the pipe sticking out under the light but that's just my personal opinion.
My next step is to also mate the hotbodies with a full serpent system, not decided what one but it'll probably be a Micron, quite often see them for sale over here (England) at a reasonable prices, not keen on splashing out mega money on a full Ti system only to find it won't fit

Will continue to post as and when i have a tinker
