Hey guys, I think we have drifted a bit, I thought this discussion was about photos of '08 Blades, not talking about track days. Stop talkin.......go and do one and send in the pics to show us how much fun you had.

Also got a copy of your dyno sheet scanned in it would be nice to see what the curve looks like more than the peak power, good luck with the next run with the pc3 on it. If you can get a video of the sound the akky makes it would be appreciated before I shell out on one.

Hi fella. Got the dyno printout. Just for comparisons, my 06 Blade made 150 peak on the same dyno

I'm back home Tuesday and will post the piccies of the bike as pimped as she's likely to be for the next......... month or so

[BRICKS007]

I pick my bike up this tuesday and god i cant wait, the only thing about australia is that we only get the two colours, red and yellow, so im going the red.

Goodbye CBR600RR 04, hellow CBR1000RR 08. the only thing now is which exhaust to get...

Im loving the sound of the two brothers right now, have a look if you are interested YouTube - 2008 Honda CBR1000RR with Two Brothers Exhaust

The leo Vince YouTube - 2008 CBR1000RR Dyno Leo Vince Corsa System

Ive got a Arata on my 600 at the moment so im still thinking it for the 1000

D&D are just one crazy looking pipe, sound ok though YouTube - Honda CBR1000

Hp gain is'nt much of a factor for me (but would be nice). Im going for sound more so than anything.

One thing though, has anyone got a sound clip on a M4 exhaust, they look great i think, i just want to hear one...

Hey aussiean, where in OZ can i get one of those fender eliminators?

[Maholli]

Nice dyno run geeber.. I take it the 150rwhp on your 06 was stock? Thats the numbers I wanna see on my 08, my 07 makes 166rwhp after all the mods.. I don't see any reason why my 08 won't hit around 170rwhp.. My 08 didn't break the 156rwhp mark with a slip-on and pc3.. Damn neutered US version.. My 07 has almost 13 more rwhp than my 08.. And before anyone says anything Im aware of different dyno's, different conditions crap... Just not sure why the 06/07 models US vs EU were the same as far as power but the 08's are neutered or so to speak.. I read Honda's press release BS why.. Great numbers geeber and awsome mods..

It's an EVOTECH brand, don't know of a local supplier. Got mine off good old Ebay.....from the manufacturer in the UK. Could not speak highly enough of their service and quality of the parts
Think it was about $240.00AU landed here. Bit fiddly to fit, but comes with really good instructions.
If you don't like Ebay, I think you can purchase direct from their (EVOTECH) website.

Seriously, this thing is 100% better than 99% of us on this site. Just ride the thing.

Hi Maholli.

My 06 bike had a micron delta end can which added 1-2hp. All figures on the same dyno for consistency.

As for the US versions being neutered, Moby, the editor of Fast Bikes magazine in the UK, only got 158hp on his 08 Blade with a full Leo Vince system. My mates 08 gets 155hp (standard) on the same dyno my bike has been run on. This equates to a difference of less than 5% as standard between our bikes and the figures are very comparable to yours to be fair to Honda.

More importantly (for me anyway) was shedding some pounds (yeah me and the bike ) I've got access to a weigh table calibrated at 10kg intervals upto 1000kg so, i'll fill her up and post an accurate all up wet weight and we'll see what she tips the scales at.

Will post the updated piccies Tuesday

[Maholli]

Can't wait to see some more pics.. The black and white is my favorite by far, and with all your mods I must admit thats the nicest put togther 08 1KRR that I have seen so far.. Great job and excellent taste..

[red jet]

Here she is RT-5 Jardine slip-on, Bike litez fender elim. Vortex spools.

[129CBRider]

Well, i'm droolin'...

[rideMO]

better pics to come, I just hit 1100 miles on the OD. I traded in an 07 Ducati 800 Supersport for mine and have yet to look back. Had to change insurance company but it was for the best.

[MadnohB]

Just had the 6000km service done and I'm still happy.

First two Dunlop Qualifier rears lasted 2500km each. Like the grip but simply can not keep up with those kind of mileage therefore the change now to Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's.

The "project" is also coming along nicely and the latest addition is the carbon hugger and front fender. Not particularly fond of the hugger's shape.......think it's too bulky but the carbon is nice

Pic of me from Wednesday afternoon.

Finally smoked what was left of the Bridgestone 015's, thank goodness....

Am back again at the track on Saturday, but am running the Michelin Clubman Slicks.....much better...they are my favourite track tire.

[Schmutz]

Here are a few pics of my ride. Sorry for the low res, bit I took a few quick snaps now that most of my parts are on the bike. Enjoy.

[geeber]

So this is as far as I've come with her.... up to now

The full list of mods goes; Acumen Digi gear indicator, Renthall grips, HRC quick action throttle (1/6 turn), Pazzo stubby levers, Goodridge stainless hoses, wavey rear disc, BST carbon wheels, Pirelli Corsa III's, Gilles VCR rearsets, frame plugs, powder coated pillion footpegs, Akrapovic full system with carbon end can, PCIII with custom map, Honda seat hump, Honda carbon fender, Honda carbon hugger, Honda fairing scuff guards, R&G tail tidy, mini LED rear indicators, 5X7 number plate, Datatool alarm and smartwater.

Akrapovic are doing some tasty carbon bits which I need to get ordered

I must say there are some very very nice examples of the 08 blade out there already, great considering how new the bike still is. We just need some decent weather now eh

[129CBRider]

I wonder if anyone makes a long non-carbon hugger like that?

I ride in the rain a lot and it looks like it would keep the spray off the undertail better than the short stock one.

[geeber]

Honda do mate, they're colour coded as far as I'm aware

Nice picture but the steel guard rail just looks scary!

They're "supposed" to mate, I have been told all pre-orders have been cancelled as they can't get somebody to supply the colour coded hugger.

Sounds like total BS to me. Mighty Honda can get a carbon part out, put not a sprayed plastic one ? Nothing to do with the carbon one being £100 more !

[wblamb]

geeber, how about photos of the Acumen Digi gear indicator.

[geeber]

Ere ya go, came out better without the flash tbh

[PhantomPT]

geeber nice bike you have, the full akrap how mutch that cost you in very indecised with yoshi r77 and akrap of course the €€€ also counts

Great pictures

[geeber]

At work at the mo so can't give you a price breakdown, will have a look once I'm home later this afternoon.

What I can tell you is that I've just put her on a calibrated weigh platform here, graduated in half kilo increments upto 1000kg. With all fluids and the petrol right up into the neck of the filler she's showing 190.5Kg. Again once I'm home I'll try to find the quantities of all the fluids to get a dry weight which I'm guessing won't be far off the 165Kg mark.
