Ok finally fixed the radiator guard everything is now back together. And yes that is my holster for my .45 lol security!!

 

Really neat and well thought out project you have there Josh. Well done!

A question regarding wrapping the headers. I'm guessing you removed them to wrap the tape - or is it possible to leave them in place and feed the tape through between the engine - particularly the pipes under the sump? I want to wrap my (standard ) '91 pipes.

Cheers, SB

 

HAH, Semper Fi.

 

No there is no way in hell you can wrap them with out removing them. It is a big enough pain wrapping them off the bike lol. Also buy another set of gaskets as well for when you put the exhaust back on. I had to buy 2 DEI wrap kits to do what you see there. It takes at least 2 kits to wrap them. Oh and when you do it have fun

 

Thanks Josh,

I have enough tape left over from the GTR1000 I did, but that bike I was able to remove the fairings and wrap the pipes in place - very fiddly and time consuming but do-able.

Not so the CBR1000F it seems.

Oh! And I do know about the 'fun' wrapping the pipes. I itched for a couple of days and was wearing gloves when I did the job! Hands didn't itch though

Cheers, SB

 

Yep with the DEI kit i actually installed them with out gloves and i was surprised that after washing my hands i did not itch at all. But while installing man the itch sucked haha.

 

Just installed new grips and my new M-Factory mirrors. I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting some great high quality bar end mirrors.

 

Very nice bit of kit Josh! Now for those Pazzo levers

Cheers, SB
