I have not decided on a name yet but I figured it was worth starting a build threat.
I started with a 2005 CBR1000RR that I bought after I totaled my V65 Magna hitting a deer.
The bike was very clean when I bought it, as shown below.
I wont bother with all the other angles as everyone is familiar enough with what these bikes are about
I installed a PCIII and the bike came with full exhaust, flapper delete, plate relocator and a few other assorted visual goodies.
Starting the build:
The above pictures show the bike with the catch tank removed but otherwise, i have not removed anything. I post these because I had a terrible time trying to find these pictures when I started planning.
I deleted everything that was associated with the vacuum system that runs the intake flapper (picture 2)
I then deleted the PAIR module and its tubes from infront of the intake (PITA if I am honest but much quicker to take apart the second time after realizing I forgot to plug something back in)
I placed the ECM and all wiring, where the PAIR module used to be, this involved only cutting and extending the fan plug wires and slightly modifying the wiring harness protection layer. To do this, pull the harness back and feed it along the inside of the frame. I think this is something that track guys used to do to save the ECM if they laid the bike down racing but I could find no info or pictures about how to do it. Note, I was not able to get the Airbox down with the fuse box located to the right of the ECM as shown in the picture. I think removing the rubber cover and tucking it further down would have got the job done but I didnt want to bury it before checking the bike would run and everything worked, Do not want to have to dig everything out because a headlight fuse was popped or something.
The picture below shows how I did this.
Currently the bike starts and runs. Now I have to get the fairings back on for the tank, and install/wire the headlight. Once the headlight is on, I will relocate the instrument panel from where it is temporarily located bolted into the 2 existing holes in the front of the Top Tree
I will post more updates and pictures as I do work
