    Thanks! I'm trying to combine CBR1000RR front end and 600RR wheel, need wheel measurements before I make new triple clamps... no rush, been at it for a while ;) 2005 CBR1K weighs 15.6 lbs with OEM rotors, bearings, and seals installed. Front rotor spacing measured in 3 places then averaged: 132.35 mm inner edge to inner edge 142.32 mm outer edge to outer edge

    Zombie Thread Alert... it's coming back from the dead ;) I'm looking at potential CBR1000 front wheel on my track bike, FinnRC36 or anyone else ... is this 138mm inside edge to inside edge (outside to outside... C-C, etc.) of the '08-'11 CBR1000? Does anyone have an '04-'05 CBR1000 they could measure the front rotor spacing or is the same as this? Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks! Did you ever get an answer? I'm working on something that involves CBR1000RR and 600RR front end mix-n-match and looking for spacing between rotors, this thread comes up pretty high on google search, nothing else that I could find has any real #'s I'm on the road and i don't have my notes with me, I did pick up an '05 CBR1K front wheel for my track bike and IIRC I have a 1mm difference to compensate for with my 929 triples and ZX14 forks... I'll post up the CBR1K rotor spacing when I get home.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    When I lived there the Honda of Cool Springs were good honest folks... that was 5 yr ago though... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Delkevic will sell just a 5th Gen high mount mid-pipe... customer service sent me the part number. I'm traveling and won't have the part# info for a few days. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    RC51 is a completely different bike and is a US designation. An RC51 model is the RVT1000 and depending on the version referred to as SP1 or SP2.

    Nice! Thanks... I love my AGTs!

    I'm in for a set of 5th gen if there is a group buy...

    I also received a refund for the difference between full price and our package deal.

    My first thought exactly... did Seb build that?

    Left side fairing and left side of upper front cowl rashed, left blinker punched through the fairing so I'm going to de-dumbo the blinkers and fill the voids with ABS and use LED turn signal mirrors off a GSXR.

    Looking forward to this... I need to fix my 5th gen fairings.

    Well, it appears at least two other people are communicating with Paul and creating confusion. Matt, who does all the engineering & fabrication work at Tyga, emailed me wondering where the TBR header was... I never mentioned to Matt or Paul about providing a TBR header. I don't have one. I have had detailed discussions with Matt and he asked me to send the two OEM headers, one with a cat and one without so he would have both 5th and 6th gen headers and have more than one reference point. Now it appears someone led Paul to believe that TBR headers were being shipped to him and he feels like he wasted $300+ and I look like an ass. In June I will have been working on this exhaust header project for three years... whoever is communicating with Tyga please stop until the VFR800 headers are in production.

    I am one and the same. This separate 4th gen project has introduced confusion for Matt & Paul with multiple VFR contacts... because of these separate streams of conversation they thought I was sending them a TBR header that someone from this thread had mentioned to them.I currently have an agreement with Tyga for a $6000 order for starting the VFR800 performance headers. Can we please hold off on the multiple contacts until the VFR800 headers are in production? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Very nice. My stimulation-starved eyeballs really enjoyed that.Thank you. Thanks .. Not that I would ride a Q3 to that level of wear, but it is a testament to the incredible quality of the tire. I'm willing to bet handling was decent almost all the way to the end.That tire is perfectly scrubbed in for dry roads... ... it has reached its brief "I aspire to be a race slick" phase in life ;) Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Are you expanding the stable or did you trade up for newer?Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    A Tyga slip-on is at their discretion and will likely be based on sales response to the headers. At the beginning of our discussions they asked if a full system was required and I told them the headers were the priority... if they wanted to offer a full system that is their prerogative. We need the headers, period. The mid pipe is one or two bends depending on high or low mount and can be made anywhere. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    The outlet is in the stock location not made with the stock diameter. I'm on vacation and don't have my notes but the collector Outer Diameter (OD) was listed in an earlier post. These are performance headers and all the pipe diameters are larger to allow increased exhaust gas flow at high rpm. They are modeled after the RC45 header dimensions with VFR800 layout.

    Sure looks purdy! Thanks... that is half true. I only took a pic of the good side ;)I'm like a NASCAR driver and all I do is turn left to show people the right side [emoji12] Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    +1 to everything. Love them on my 5th Gen even with the linked brakes... which btw, totally helped me out when I hurt my right thumb on a trip and allowed me to still ride and get home. I believe they are a noticeable improvement over oem rubber hoses, especially if they are old.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Thanks Phil. I thought I had recalled you mentioning that little tidbit... that's why I asked for confirmation. I appreciate your input and expertise. If this can wait until tomorrow I have two stock header VFRs (5 & 6 Gens) that I can get measurements and photos of. Kind of tied up today but can make some time tomorrow if need be. Duc2V4... I cannot thank you enough for the detailed pictures and clearance measurements of the installed OEM 5th & 6th gen headers. You went over and above and this is a great help! Sincerely, thank you so much! Hi Nick, I'm happy to add you to the growing list. Just for clarity, the final collector discharge will be in the stock location but it will be about the size of the stock collector with the exhaust gasket installed over it. A custom mid-pipe or fabrication work to your existing mid-pipe will be needed for these performance headers. Dude! You told me you would be putting the headers on the back burner for now! You helped send us up this creek... let me know when you want back on the boat!

    Another question: Do the 5th and 6th gens have different exhaust flange mount clock orientation? Will fixed flanges work for all mounts or do we need spinning flanges?
  22. Rush2112
    Just to clarify, are those pictures what you have or what you want? Reason I ask is that the forks in the photo ARE SP-2 and not SP-1. Also, the rear shock shown has the 'clevis' at the bottom (as needed on the RVTs), but certainly the 5th Gen and I suspect later VFRs need an 'eye' type mount at the bottom, same as the top. Do you have a neat way to modify a shock with clevis type bottom mount to eye type? Something I've been pondering as I have an SP-2 shock I want to use on my 5th Gen project so I will need to change the lower mount. I wondered if you had already studied this and sorted out a solution. Also, regarding discs, the SP-1 front wheel will accept discs from SP-1, SP-2,929,954 and CBR1000RR4-7, but they're not all the same diameter. The 929 used 330mm and the RR4/5 used 310. But the RVT forks only suit 320mm. Also, some were thicker and therefore heavier. I'm sure you know all this, but just in case not I thought I'd mention it. Of course later FireBlade discs will also mount on that wheel, but the offset will be wrong, so don't go that route. Aren't the RR 6/7 rotors 320mm with the same offset as the 4/5 but about 0.5 kg lighter?

    Gave the girl a bath this past weekend, finally! Still had bugs plastered to the front from TMAC... By the time I got on her the temps had dropped to 47F... still a great ride! I had only ridden once since TMAC with KDON because of my thumb... can see the moisture boiling out of the oil through Seb's window as I'm warming her up...

    I like the "props" to Seb with his SebSpeed decal next to the clutch window... the red pressure plate goes nice with the paint scheme. Nicely done!
