Few more pics

Having now rode the bike at the weekend, it definitely feels much better with the correct top yoke allowing the front ride height to be restored and not being so much on it's nose. It just feels so much more planted.

The changes to the intake, exhaust and pciii map have also had a significant improvement, pulling harder and cleaner to the new 14k peak, and it's gained an awesome induction roar too.

So, to summarise, from when I started the main part of this project, the bike now handles better, goes better, stops better and looks better

Definitely job done

Love the look going on here! Good job on the upgrades, and nice track pictures. Really brings a vintage honda look to a modern bike.

The guy I bought them from was not too far from my build/weight, so he gave me some settings that he had been using.

I absolutely admire your talent. Beautiful accomplishments here!!

That paint scheme is really swaying me to the patriotic paint side too

I see a lot of guys trying to hard to make their bike look better but that is simply beautiful. Good job on the bike!

WizzBang · 06-19-2012, 11:22 AM

Thanks for the kind words and praise

I must admit that I'm very proud of my acheivements on this bike. It has been my first major project, and with only a couple of exceptions all the work has been done by myself, which is an even greater feat when you understand that I don't have a garage and all the work is done 'al fresco'

There's a part of me that is sad due to the bike being finished, as for the most part it has been a great learning experience and a fun way to spend some spare time, but, on the flip side, I'm also glad that it's all finished as I can sit back and enjoy what I have done, my wallet is also glad it's over too, I never realised you could spend so much money on so realitively little.

Really like the paint scheme... I may use something similar on my track bodywork.

atrang · 07-15-2012, 09:49 AM

Fwoooaaarrr, I frickin' love this scheme! Good job mate!

**Slickrick600** · 07-15-2012, 12:28 PM

beautiful build man very nice. and some very nice pieces here too

WizzBang · 08-01-2012, 03:31 PM

For any of you guys who read the UK bike magazines, my bike is being shown in this months Performance Bike mag.

abq · 08-01-2012, 11:26 PM

thats a sick build! love all the ugprades

Roidrage13 · 10-22-2012, 11:50 AM

Very nice!

JSchulte · 11-19-2012, 06:14 PM

I love the bike, awesome going through this thread and seeing the impressive build!

My only nit-pick is the "CBR RR", just wish they were the legit Honda fonts used! Like I said small detail but eh! Awesome bike regardless.

SHAdoh · 11-22-2012, 03:29 PM

Awesome work with the fillings!! And that paint job is SICK! Makes you + gear + bike = one1!

motoguy415 · 11-22-2012, 04:45 PM

What a sweet build, love the paint scheme !

Only thing I would change is the incorrect (and rusty :) engine bolt, visible in the header install.

And maybe tint the bottom of the screen to conceal the dash and overflow, unless you're keeping it visible for inspection?

flamboyant · 11-23-2012, 06:49 PM

Looking good....

A quick idea of how it will look

The whole lot still needs to be lacquered, but that's for Monday, after a little bit of touching up

A quick pic of the inspiration......

Fantastic build with some nice track photos. There is always something slightly inspiring about seeing a Honda in HRC factory colours.

highonlakai · 12-02-2012, 07:00 PM

what an amazing bike! thanks for the photos and coverage.. I love looking at these threads!!!!!!

**infinate719** · 03-31-2013, 10:35 PM

Bump for a great build.

Raj24v · 04-28-2013, 08:48 AM

Wow.. Great build from another uk member. Good job.
I don't know how I've managed to miss this thread up until now?!

How's the bike? Any updates?

WizzBang · 04-28-2013, 09:05 AM

No real updates from me, the bike is still the same with the exception of an oil change.

I've been thinking of upgrading the brake calipers, but that's really more for cosmetic reasons.

I'm back on it tomorrow at Brands Hatch, and it's the first time I've ridden it since my last trackday at Donington last August.

caudill41 · 05-01-2013, 10:35 AM

Just read this whole thread...what an amazing build!! wow, awesome job man!

WizzBang · 05-01-2013, 10:59 AM

Well, having rode Brands Hatch on Monday I can confirm that this bike still rocks....it's just awesome.

Heres me on a couple of sessions during the day......

Session 5

Pic from that session

Session 7

The really good thing about the bike is that it gets better the harder it's ridden
