where'd u run the wire for the plate light??? U could go in business and sell em! Looks good Don!

 

DonCollins,
I will take one of those fender eliminators, please. Would you ship it to me.

Thanks
Thom

 

When's the new exhaust coming? It'll be sho-nuf fine when ya get it all together. Heck, it looks really good now. Just keep a keen eye on your plastic bits directly above the exhaust and make sure they don't get too hot with no shielding.

 

I don't have any shielding on my and its been OK for the past 1000 miles or so.....

 

I'm only doing trips to school and work... like 15 20 minutes tops right now. My new exhaust will be all carbon so I don't have to worry about the heat on the tail. I did how ever remove all of the heat shielding, all of it. I used the thermal sleeving on my wires for the plate light and my rear breaks. Here's a couple more pics in day light.

no1biscuit.. are you serious? I listed everything you need to do it, but the sheet metal is the only thing you'll have to do any work on. I will be making a new one for mine when I install the new exhaust just to clean it up. I can help you out with what ever you need. If you need me to, I'd piece together and ship what ever you need... just have to work out the funding details. It's all cheap. The sheet metal will be scrap from work.... thank you tax payers. You'd be amazed at how much metal is junked where I work at... But anyways... PM if you need anything.

Now.... for the pics in day light. The blue sleeving is rated at 1200 continuous and 2000 peak.

 

HUGE difference with the stock lights gone!!! Can't wait to see the new pipe and integrated lights up front.

Are you gonna get an OEM seat cowl, stay stock, or something else?

Oh yeah, and any luck figuring out a way to hook up farther underneath? My eliminator kit sits where yours does and I have hit my tire on it a couple of times with big holes and bumps on the street. Hoping to get way under like with Custom's. Just can't see where to bracket

 

yea, the plate and light looks cool, I could do without the big blue wire showing on the one side.... I think thats why the pictues of others that I have seen with lights they put there's farther back so as to run the wire more under the seat....

P.S. looks like she/he needs a bath.... lol

 

Yes... it does need a bath. It's a bad time of the year to ride around here.

The blue wire doesn't look bad... it's the blue braded covering you see on car engines. I looked for black, but it only came in red, blue or chrome. So blue it is.

I will end up mounting this to the band that comes with the RS5. I'd love to get an OEM seat cowl... it's not worth $130 or $180 to me just yet. I'd have to find a one on sale for half price with a 50% off coupon to peak my interest.

I looked at manufacturing a kit like CW, but there really isn't that much room. With their design, I don't see how the plate would do anything but rub the hugger the entire time I'm on it.

But if anything... my stock exhaust looks much better now.... so if someone wanted to change the tail just for looks, this might be an option for them.

 

Don,

Take off those warning sticker on the left side of your swing arm. Oh yea also the one on the top front of your gas tank cover. Trust me you won't miss them.

 

The one on the tank is gone... my buddy removed it with chemicals when he did the blue outline. We/I meant to do the swing arm as well. But I always forget to when I have any goo remover handy... You know what... the hell with that. When I get home from work, I'll peel them off and worry about the adhesive later. That way I'll stop procrastinating and do it. Any other tips? I'm just about to the point I'd like to be with the looks. I have on order yellow reflective DUNLOP decals for the front fender. What do you guys think of that? I removed the cheap plastic reflectors so if I put the reflective yellow Dunlop up front, I'm back to code on that. I'm considering replacing the CBR 600RR with all red reflective to cover my rear. Any thoughts?
