Am in Luxemburg at the moment, home of Gilles Tooling. Man, they do produce some really nice stuff..... 

 

yea, I forgot to mention the flapper and the soft limiter (both done on mine).  I am in the minority about the seat though.  I ride on the stock seat even though I have the option to put on a sargent.

This thread is not helping my desire to own a SP-2 . .

they are fun, fun, fun

and you will have to get used to all that racket !!

also, if it has stock sprockets, you MUST change that.  The thing is geared for like 240MPH or something.  WAY TOO TALL.  At least you have the SP2 improved injection that takes away a lot of the snatch.

Sencond must do mod is the shock linkage.  Must be done.

You already have a good back shock. I hope yer front end has been done. If not, that is number 3.

My bike has an HRC 1/6 turn throttle on it and it hasnt bothered me enough to change it.

some stuff you will need, Leon:

Take off the fairings. You may be suprised that the cases say HRC, not Honda

You will need this 1 liter Ducati eater picture:

I have used Pilot power 2TC on my RC51.  120/70 front and 190/55 rear.  Most owners call RC51s "Piggies" because they favor stability over flickableness, so the added height of the 55 profile really helps on the turn in.  I have tried both and prefer the 55 by far. The only problem is the 190/55 is always the most expensive tyre in the catalog. I am pretty sure the 190/55 did not exist when this bike first came out, so the manual specs the 50.

DUDE !   That is soo groovy.

When you get new tyres do yourself a favor:  Opt for the 190/55 rear. It costs more, but it handles sooo much better.

The petcock is the achilles heel on this bike. There us a bix box headed your way with a rebuildable one in it.

Leon, you cannot give those shocks away. I have 4 of them.

BTW, i did not send you a bin storage cabinet, but re used the box. One of many

yuk.

I am on it !!!

whats the weather been like? I'll be there in under 2 weeks

too bad its in a foreign language .

haha

Cbr600 f2 is the usual the go-to source for these projects.

I love strokers, howzabout some pics?

Gefeli, Leon! I know what a hassle owning multiple vehicles is over there, so you must really like it. You made a great choice.

Echt, echt mooi.

makes for more assured shifts, with much less slop. new starwheel and spring to turn the shift drum more crisply.

It sounds like a 360 degree motor.

I suppose from the different pipe merges?

yea, that and the down pipes that looked about twice as big as the stock items.

I rode it. It is BEASTLY. The wide bars give it a perfect riding position. It sounds like a 360 degree motor. I loved the 5 sportbike guys at the Gap Store arguing over what it was.

Getting it "right" would mean failing the emissions standards.

So, I'll bite on this and ask a question, why is it that cars don't have the issues that bikes do? What is different in bike engines vs car engines?

DIFFERENCE: CAR-Getting 75% performance out of 2 or more liters of displacement

BIKE-Getting max performance out of 800cc.

I really don't want my ECM tricked by anything.
