Purchased new from Honda in late 2011 the bike arrived in HRC colours with no more than the pre-delivery inspection miles on the clock in completely standard trim with no aftermarket parts fitted. Since then the CBR has had a raft of different modifications made to it; some being simply aesthetic and but most for outright performance on track. The intent has always been to build the CBR to UK Superstock specification for both road and track use. In its current form and specification the CBR is pretty much race ready and all the major performance parts have now been added.

To navigate through the many posts simply click on a modification listed below to access the relevant page within the build thread. The majority of modifications are listed and there is a wealth of other information and pictures on how the CBR has evolved. Hopefully, this thread will prove useful and interesting to some and I will continue to update the thread in the future.
It's primarily designed for race and trackday use. If your bike spends the majority of its time on track then it's an extremely worthwhile purchase but for solely road use its not worth it as all the functionality is designed for track use.

I've only had one bike since I stopped racing a couple of years ago. Probably 80% of the riding I do is on track although I still venture out on the road occasionally. If I predominately only rode on the road with the odd trackday I would have just stuck with the OEM dash as it does everything you need it to bar having a gear indicator. The HM dash is absolutely superb, especially the datalogging and lap timing features, but in my opinion it would be wasted on a road only bike given its cost.

Back in March I managed to source a complete set of World Supersport specification TKR race fairings directly from the Ten Kate workshop in Holland. I had previously started to drill and fit the DZUS fasteners to most of the fairing panels and then progress was curtailed. In the last couple of days I've finally found time to finish fitting them. I will post up a couple of photos later today.
The fit and finish is incredibly good for a set of race fairings. The most time consuming part was drilling and riveting the Dzus fasteners. There was only a small amount of sanding required to take into account the GB Racing engine cases that I have fitted.
The only work to be done now is to affix the seat foam to the rear seat unit and Stompgrips to the tank cover. However this can't be done until the fairings are painted which will hopefully be sometime in the New Year.
FIM rules state that race bodywork must appear as originally produced by the manufacturer. You can see why TKR use these in that respect as the likeness is very good. They do bear greater resemblance to the OEM fairings than my previous CRC set did especially the belly pan. The company that produces them for TKR are called Motocarbons. Overall the quality is very good and they look great finally fitted. Whilst they look pretty good in the standard white gloss gelcoat finish it will be nice to get them painted in the New Year.

The design for the race paint is very much TKR/HRC inspired. I have a few decals which will be added to the CBR from Sticker Zwolle in Holland. They are the company that design the paint and vinyl colour schemes found on TKR’s WSBK and WSS bikes.
All the fixings are Dzus quick release fasteners albeit a couple which use allen bolts and the screen uses the OEM screws and rubber well nuts. Like any race fairings they are incredibly quick and easy to remove once properly fitted.
