lots of mods this week
 

spent an entire week working on the bike

started with removing the stock intake and replacing it with the Carbon fiber one from A tech

nice throaty growl now sitting there at idle
the hole up front is so huge i am thinking about putting a mesh in to keep low flying birds from getting into my airbox

the next mod i did was replace the standard boring oem throttle with a HRC 1/6 turn throttle

now i dont have to change my hand position to go from idle to full throttle

its basically like moving the throttle almost twice as far with the same wrist movement


then i fitted and installed my full cheetah race plastics

right now the bike is completely tore apart so i can get the race plastics painted, remounted and loaded up onto the new 5x10 flatbed trailer i just bought to haul it to race days


i think my time on the street is almost over and a track whore is born

here are some pics of before and after the intake plus the track plastic prepaint

one more scratch wont hurt

i had to put it on hold to get my bike track ready but it is a new paint job and chrome short of 100% restoration

Did your new race plastics go on without any problems or was it a bit of a chore to get it to fit properly? I have heard mixed reviews about aftermarket plastics, so I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks

the only problem i had with the cheetahs is that the holes for the tank cover had to be slightly elongated towards the front to get it to line up with the brackets

other than that unlike most other plastics all of the mounting holes were predrilled

you definetly need a uni bit to open up the hole large enough for the stepped fairing bolts but every one was in the right place

total time to mount everything was about an hour


because of the 06 plastic design you only need 1 dzus fitting per side down near the bottom where the upper and lower connect

every other mounting point is identical to the oem even the windscreen
