133 rwhp,,,your right up there where it should be. Hopefully I will get #s like that,,,one of these days Smiley

No offense taken whatsoever Cheesy  Chopping is pretty easy.  Getting the cans cut straight could be a pain...I used a chop-saw so that made it easier. 

Thanks everyone for the compliments Cheesy  Hopefully those Ti bolts get here by the weekend, I'm itching to ride again.

Hooray, the bolts just showed up.

LOL at Ti stuff.....I know it's a bit lighter, but I saved.....wait for it...a whopping half pound in fastener weight on the front end. Thats every fastener Ti cept for the axle/axle nut, and the caliper mounting bolts were on backorder.

Would I buy them from a race shop at 10$ something each...hell no! The whole front end was swapped to Ti fasteners for less than what most people pay to fill up their yukon at the pump. Thats what happens with me though. I needed only 2 m5x40's, and said...shit, while I'm at it, I might as well order this and that.


Subtle changes really.  Headlight sits about 2" lower, along with the gauges under the triple, and the fairing lowered.  Still need the right frame plugs to show up, and mount the plate.  Some small signals on the front, and the rear taillight is an integrated LED piece now. 

Looking for a better option for a headlight.  Suspension is up next Cheesy

Sweet bike indeed.

Has anyone mentioned the health hazards of cutting into carbon fiber.  I've heard that the dust is really really nasty.  Always wear a respirator when cutting that stuff.

I wouldn't huff it thats for sure.

I just hold my breath as I cut the pipes, blew them off with compressed air, and resumed normal breathing after walking away Smiley  If you cut carbon like that everyday, I would strongly advise some sort of breathing equipment.

New updates include a carbon muffler hanger that I vac-bagged, and some nice fasteners to replace the steely ones.

Heel guards are in the vac bag curing as I type.  I can't wait to get my camera back from the shop.  Pics ASAP!

I almost made a mold of the seat cowl and front fairing, but I think I can buy them for about the cost as I can make them.  Idea is to keep the matte grey finish, but instead of a vinyl stripe in black, it will be exposed carbon.

Now...where can I find a carbon tank for less than a grip.

Carbonfiber rips up your lungs if you breathe it in. If you breathe it in, and it gets caught in your nostrils, prepare to wake up to a pool of blood.

great bike man.....

can you post up a link to where you got all the bolts IF they do online business?

HELL, that could be a nice little side gig for you, putting all that together for a front end.

I'll get some current pics of the garage with the new cabinet I built....and the carbon bits....once my damn camera comes back ugh.

I've got a cool surprise coming for it....a custom magnesium triple with a better offset than stock.  Not only is it less than half what the stocker weights, but it'll be much stiffer, and offer better handling/more weight on the front end.  I'm sure another set or 2 could be made if anyone is interested.  PM/Email me.

Stock resi/mounts.  I only replaced the stock bolts up there with tapered heads (in Ti)

DP is the rear stand I use for the monster, Baxley sport chock for the front.
999 sits on a pitbull rear, t-rex front stand

Lift is a Huh? that I picked up local for $150.  No, it's not air or hydraulic operated, but it only takes about 15 pumps to get it full height which lets me work on the bike without bending over.  I wanted a handy lift or something similar, but for the $$ and it's use (I'm not a service center....bikes don't go up/down all day) what I bought works well.

I dunno if they even call it the "T".  It's a S4R testa, or titanium (paint).  I think thats why I got on this Ti kick....figure the paint is called that, so the bike ought to be using it to lol.
