RC 51 SP2,hey its not everyday a personal project makes
it to print,just thought it was cool to see my own for a change.
get to toot my own horn for a change!

What did you have to do to get the RC swingarm to fit?

pivot is same size as sp2, had to make new linkage and play with spacers.

every thing is lined up,wheelbase is slightly longer though.
there is another member on this forum Mr.Billet,who has done
swap,he shortened his arm though.
since i dont have my own machine shop,mine is staying as is.
the part you have to make is the triangular piece that joins arm, shock and engine tie bar.still havent decided on body work,......how about some ideas
im looking to do a kind of moto gp,suzuka endurance type look.


consider this a kind of semi poll,what bodywork would you use..?

Mmmmm, bodywork....

I vote for Mario Nava's bodywork with a RC51 hugger from Thorsten.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Mario's bodywork is way sweet but if you look closely at pic of my bike,
you will see that clipons are under the triple.
looking to go race rep. style.........i know,i know should of bought an rc51!
but i have what i have it is paid for and i am free to do as i seem fit.
now that is out of the way how about that bodywork?

I'm sure you can make it work...YEAH BUDDY BADASS!!!

Also check out the CBR600F5 and 954 race bodywork, they look pretty cool too, at least if you want to keep it Honda anyway. Check out the rest of the site, lots of other possibilities. The 04-05 Aprilia Mille bodywork is pretty neat too, but the Honda stuff I listed looks the most modern.

Also check out sharkskinz.com. The new R6 and GSXR bodies under "new products" look pretty wild. They also make MV Agusta bodies too. Hmmm...decisions decisions...

That AirTech look is just fast to look at! I'm not sure you'll ever make a Superhawk that skinny tho! Mario's stuff is nice but like you say, there's lots of it out there now.

:) I was wondering the same thing, though the superhawk is pretty narrow. That's why I stopped short of suggesting the 125 stuff!!

if anyone here has a cbr 1000 rr can you measure your fairing from left to right ?

i would like to see how wide it is .

thanks
mike e.

Two thumbs up!

LOL!............you guys!

Lol!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, see I told you!

I have a 1000RR. Where are you concerned about the width? Tank area or frontal?

Isn't that you standing in front of the Trans Am?

Good eye, what chu talkin bout....

Greg,

width of fairing around tank area.should be close enough to use.
just dont want to use something that is to wide.

thanks

polls are still open help select my bodywork.

and oh yeah check out kitt he is looking at your A!

You stole my paint job!

Hawkster,

I measured the 1000RR fairings. Looks like 20-21 inches. Not easy to do. I had to eyeball it a bit. Hope this helps.

well im looking at 92 rvf 750,yammy r7,and cbr 1000rr 06.
leaning real hard towards r7 with 0w01 tail.

mike e.

Just to let you know, my 1000RR is an 04.
