Hi everybody.

I just recently joined and have already seen a few helpfull tips. Thanks!

I just completed my track bike last week.
I will use it mostly for track days and the odd regional and 3 hour endurance race.

I am very chuffed with my toy.
Here is some pics:

I'm at somewhat a loss for words.... OH two just came to mind,-Bad Ass!
Sweet ride man. It just has loads of goodies on it.

[nedro]

Looks like lots of fun is in your future!
Nice job.

[Yimke]

Not a fan of the exhaust at all. But everything else looks AMAZING!! keep up the good work and ride safe.

[dicedreams2000]

The white wheels give it a clean touch.... very nice

[denzee]

Very nice job. Must sound awesome. Any other not so obvious mods like suspension?

[ldavis]

that is beautiful.. especially the exhaust.. i freakin love that things..

[TKDmasterZ]

I have dumped more than 3 bikes at the track. I would have killed myself if my bike looked soooo good! Awesome and good luck!

[jkobflys]

the exhaust is ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[NawteeBlade]

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Yes I am aware that if I drop it it is going to be exspensive. Hope that doesn't happen soon. (although probable) :-)

denzee. I will list what I have done on the bike.
- Suspension has been re-valved with new springs to suit my weight.
- Power commander
- Quick shifter
- Head flowed and cams degreed
- BMC Filters

Obvious mods:
- Full Arrow system
- Arrow rear sets
- 520 chain conversion & sprocketing for track
- Crash bobbins everywhere
- Carbon clip on's
- GPT Lap timer
- Pazzo Short levers
- Braking disks (330 front)
- Carbone Loraine Race pads
- Braided hoses
- Puig high rise screen
- Carbon rear hugger

We will get the bike on the dyno in the next week.
I am quite interested to see what she will make compared to standard.

I wish i had that confidence, riding that hard at a track day, I'd be too afraid to push my limits on that.

But damn fine job

All good stuff NawteeBlade. Looks like you are ready to go. Good Luck! Let us know if you can hold on to the Gixxers on the straights. Or hopefully, smoke em.

I have done a few track days in the last few months.

A photo of me at Kyalami track in Gauteng.
Haven't dumped it yet and it is going like a rocket.

And now that I know how to post pictures properly:

Looks too good to be a track bike Nawtee. I'm sure it won't stay that way if it sees regular track duty. Curious how it sounds with the Arrow GP exhaust?

[NawteeBlade]

The bike is a bit loud with the GP-style pipes fitted. They tested is recently and it tested at 117db. Standard pipe CBR1000RR's tested at around 103 db.
She does sound awesome on the track and "pops" nicely on de-acceleration.

I am very happy with the system. It makes good power.

[dicedreams2000]

How do you like the Quick Shifter? I have been thinking about getting it, but have heard good and bad things about it.

[WyoJames]

very nice, I LOVE the tail on that bike....soooooo sexy
Did you purchase the tail or make it? If you made it, how much would it cost to get you to make another?

[NawteeBlade]

Dice - I like the quickshifter, but when a quickshifter and non-quickshifter bike was tested by a gp rider he only gained something like 0.2 sec per lap. In other words not worth it. The shifts are smooth and direct so I would fit it on my next bike.

James, I made the tailpiece myself. I wouldn't make another but you can start with a standard fiberglass tailpiece, close the bottom up and then cut the tail to fit your pipe. Not a big job, just time consuming.

[WyoJames]

what did you use to cut i, just a dremel with a cutting wheel? and how did you close up the bottom, just fiberglass resin?

[909Honda]

Poly, or Marglass and primer! prep and paint!

[909Honda]

Oh lay a piece of tape on what your going to cut and then cut the line a close as possible to the tape with a die grinder, sand a lil with and prep like above, this works for plastic and fiberglass mess with it u will figure it out!

nice track bike dude
