Well, I got my rear shock modified by JamieDaugherty, He is on here (VFRD) here is a link to his web page DM. Looks awesome and fit great. I had him do the works while he had my shock (rebuild, revalve, correct spring for my weight).

Here is some pictures to show you what it looks like.

I hope this might help you out some.

Looks great Doug. I also like the 05 06 front, (the black directs the air right at the oil cooler and looks almost OEM) looks a little cleaner and flows better with the lines. Plus I love the new side covers, I still have not messed with my side panels yet. I wish we could get both our bikes together sometime for some pictures.

I thank you again for your help on my build.

Travis

WOW!!! SUPER JOB!!! :fing02: . making me jealous!

It made me sick to hear that you went down. First, I hate to hear that someone went down. Second, I really wanted to see one of of the best looking bikes out there. But it is great that you were able to walk away. I can't wait to see what you will build this time. (I was so looking forward to seeing the bike that got me to build my bike, I hope you can still make it to SS)

Travis

SWEEEEEEEEEEET, VERY SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!! :blink:

Looks top notch! :fing02:

I don't own a 6th gen, but I do have one of Jamie's modded 929's on my 4th gen (FV750) and LOVE it!!!! :dry: Top quality work and at a very fair price and fast turn around.

WOW, Doug that looks GREAT!!!! :cool: It all looks so clean and OEM that is awesome.

One day when I grow up and learn a few things, maybe I can be like you.

:lurk:

Good stuff here

So am i right, a cbr/rr clock will slip right in place of my 4th gen clock?

Or do i simply need a speedo healer to make good?(never used or seen one of them before)

A how do sheet with out all the fluff would be awsome.

Yes you will need a Speed O Healer. I have not got one yet and you will also need a different ECT sensor (2 wire set up). Good luck and get some pictures up when done.

I am looking forward to getting this done and riding again. I want to say thanks FotoMoto again for all your help!

Keep at it!

Travis.

Didn't take as much off when I did it a couple of months ago....

but it's the same idea. I might take some more off right next to the peg, but I think I'm generally happy with what I already took off, as long as it lightens the look of the OEM guard enough.

This could become one of the most common mods, next to the "fenderectomy"

Found a good wiring diagram for 04-05 CBR1000RR

I just want to help out. I found this....04-05 CBR1000RR wire diagram Hope this can help someone out. It has helped me.

Thank you Doug (FotoMoto) for starting this post. I am hooked!

Travis

Very sweet!!! Keep us posted!!

Super sweet!!! Love it!! :biggrin:

Hello To all of you.

I saw this forum after finishing similar conversion.

Just want to say great job.

Below are some pictures from my RC36.

I like the tail so may be I will not change.

Looks AWESOME!!!!!!

I have seen several of these with round spacers. Anyone concerned about the shock rotating, since the oem square bracket is no longer "keyed" by the frame channel? I guess it's remote, but I don't know for sure.

Zach - I have a stock 5th Gen mount on order. ONce it arrives, I'll try to take some measurements if you're still looking. I also have a 929 shock, so I can take some measurements of that, as well.

Thanks, but I couldn't wait so I bought a mount and I already have my shock. I got as far as measuring and drawing up the stock mount, just haven't made up longer mounts yet, or the flats to have them cut out on the laser :biggrin: Once I'm done with it I'll one for sale, and as soon as I get the new shock in I'll have another useless one :blush: I need to either look at my notes or read through this again :biggrin: to see what kind of dimensions worked for others and then I was going to make a few mounts, in something like 5mm increments. I'm hoping to make it along the same design of the stock mount, but tall of flanges are kind of limiting with the tooling we have for forming and also being that much taller it will need more support so it doesn't fold over...

I don't think there should be any concern for the upper shock mount rotating. There are no forces exerting on it to do so and as long as the mount is tight...

I'd be very interested in one of your brackets when you get them made up. I have the shock already, it's just sitting there in a box waiting for the slightly warmer weather so I can get my ass in gear and do this mod.

Please, let me know when you have some done.

Thanks,

Paul.

Have a shock ready to go would like to see a bracket also.

Try this site Daugherty Motorsports. Jamie has been a great help to me, I have not done anything YET, but will when I have the cash. His stuff looks Top notch!!! :cool:

Travis

Does the VFR spanner wrench work on the 929 shock??

If you are talking about the spanner that you use to adjust chain tension, then no. You need to buy (or otherwise procure) the CBR pin wrench (part number 89202-KY1-700, $11.28 at Honda Direct Line.) It's a fairly straight shot on my 4th gen, don't know about 5th.

Thank you for posting the part # :fing02:

Travis

They look great (bike looks sweet also).

I got some from Dallas also, he does a great job. I just didn.t know where to put them, I just thought it would look good out back...

Its not much, but I added heated grips and made a custom switch bracket I got from Radioshack.

Project box and Red LEDs. I scuffed up the aluminum cover.

There are some good "Farkles" on here.This might not be all that great or even a "farkle". But for keeping my registration and insurance card with me when I ride and dry. I just put it in my helmet between liner and shell. It works for me.
