Same color scheme as mine, for the moment. My bikes in getting a Colin Edwards Castrol Honda race rep paint scheme at the moment.. shame theres 4 feet of snow outside... even when the job is done its not as if I can ride her oh well...

Say.. you got a custom engine cover... the yellow bit.. what is that? How much it cost? What it do? *me being nosy mode* hahaha

Its a replacement cover with HRC engraving.
some 400$ if I recall correctly.
Made from titanium.
The main feature is visual and a bit more durable as it protrude less to the road.
weight saving is not a major improvment.

So its a little lighter (but not by much) and doesnt stick out as far so les chance of being damaged in a fall... rest is all aesthetical? Hmm... won't bother getting one then... rather get some crash bungs and use the rest of the cash down the pub hahahhahaahaha

It does look good tho! What colors does it come in?

cheers mate for the info

heres a pic of my bike (side indicator/turn signal has been snapped off when a car hit me... my bikes with my mechanic at the moment getting it sorted and the Castrol Paint Scheme added

OK,
My recollection was mistaken.
1. Its aluminum not titanium like the original.
2. its 160$.
3. Here is the link ROGUE
4. Please leave it as is its original paint scheme is perfect.

[ChrisR1982Edin]

The stock one is Magnesium mate, it states that on the side of mine

160 US dollars eh? thats around... 90 GBP? Nice... I may just get one at that price.. depending on color options...

Cheers I will check ROGUE

That's what I meant original is titanium, replacment is Aluminum.
You can also select the engraving - mine says a simple HRC.

Are you going with the vertical radiator behind the tire as in the picture as well?

[boussias]

Hello everybody. Just a picture of my baby
Custom Remus exhausts, Matris steering damper Kit, Beringer Radial Clutch & Brake cylinders, Carbon rear hugger & Swing arm protector, Custom made heel guards, so far.

[boussias]

I also have this one

picture Homer Simpson drooling over a plate of fresh from the oven doughnuts....that is me right now... Nice Rides bro!

[boussias]

Thank you. Each one is unique and different. The Honda is easy to ride and great fun. The MV is a beast that needs a lot of personal effort to ride it to it's limit. You have to ride an MV to understand what I am talking about. Just a single "click" on the suspension and it makes a whole new bike. Once you adjust it to your own personal taste then it's a poem.

The front mount rads are already in place.

[socalninja]

boussias,

Wow, sick rides. Is that CF bodywork on the Agusta?

[boussias]

Yes it is. All modifications saved 13Kgr of weight. That is 28.6 pounds. Made a hell of a difference. Now I believe that the best mod to bike is loosing weight. It makes big difference to the handling and to acceleration and braking.

You can see a video I made without the C.F just to hear the sound:

MVAgusta.net Media - MV Agusta F4 1000 with Arrow C.F. Racing Slipons (High Quality)

I think that you have to register in order to download it.
Ride safe,
Kostas

[boussias]

As for the C.F it is cheaper that an original MV fairing set. Actually is less than the half price.
Got it from World of QB Carbon - Welcome we stock a full range of huggers, fenders, fairings, heelplates, seats and more for Ducati, Aprilia, Mv Agusta, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha
If anyone is interested they are quite helpfull and honest guys. And they only charge you as soon as they have the products ready to ship.

I've looked for Remus pipes like the ones on your VTR, but can't find them. The only ones I see available have typical rounded ends. Yours are closer to an octagon shape.

[boussias]

Hi,
I wrote that they are custom. It is the Remus Hexagon model. If you buy the Remus replacement pipes (not cans) (54mm) and seperatly buy the carbon cans they fit. The problem is that you have to make a custom exhaust holders to the rear passenger footpegs. I wanted something different, you won't find the specific exhausts in any other VTR. I used to have Acrapovic exhausts and the bike use to run really crap. What I mean is that with the 60mm Acrapovic the bike needed a power commander in order to run smooth. Now it is really smooth and the bike is totally different. Is like a new bike with more power all over the rev band.

[boussias]

From Today's Ride Close to an old temple.

[sheepofblue]

The RC with tape repair of its wounds and passenger sheep (retired). I fixed the glass last year but am thinking of a repaint before next season. Probably a lighter blue with white or silver...

Oh and the tape was there as the wounds were fresh I lowsided in turn two the day before

[bjay51d]

Boussias Youve made me sick with envy...Two of my favorite bikes modded out. On top of that you live in greece around all of the beautiful olive toned women....Enjoy the life i was suppose to have

[boussias]

You are always welcome to come. If you ever come to Greece I would be more than happy to give you a tour.
Things aren't so good here. We have our problems like most of the countries. People are full of problems and not so friendly any more. You will find friendly people in the islands, may be because they see you as a tourist.

Anyway, hope things will go as you plan. You don't need a great deal of money to have fun. I got the RC51 from a guy that had it only for show (Coffee show ups ). I got it really cheap, half of it's price. If you search for used RC51's you will find lot's of bargains. It's because everyone prefers the 14000 euro CBR-R1_GSXR K99 etc. But they don't understand that you get what you pay for and that the RC51 is "my opinion" Honda's best bike. I would say that is more fun than even the MV.

PS: I used to have a GSXR 1000 as well. RC51 is unbelievable better than any K2-K99 My opinion again .
