How's anyone going to be able to compete against Kermit. Unless we have a miss piggy amongst us LOL

(:-})

My bike will be in a poll soon, just wait to finish some more mods
so she is ready to win....again:cool:

looks like im going to walk away with it this month lol

is there no one else ?

Love the lime green look! But you could tell I am partial to green.

Well... We can't have you winning by default now, can we... ;) Let's at least make it interesting... I'll be the miss Piggy to your Kermit...

The owner, that'd be me then... ;)

Model year is 1997, but if you calculate out the average of the parts, it ends up somewhere around 2003 I think... ;)

Color, the stock to R157 Italian Red, on most parts, and the hugger and undertail in Gloss Black...

Modifications (the one's I can remember):

CBR 1000RR fork:
- CBR 1000RR USD fork (Reworked with Öhlins internals)
- CBR 1000RR wheel with 320mm rotors
- CBR 1000RR complete brake (Radial M/C, radial calipers) with braided lines
- CBR 954RR/929RR triple tree
- ConvertiBars adjustable clip-ons
- Moved the radiators 1" back to make room for the fork

CBR 1000RR instrument cluster:
- CBR 1000RR temp sensor (Replaced ECT)
- Integrated gear indicator (build and design by me)
- Integrated fuelgauge & charging indicator
- Integrated gear indicator (Home made, in progress)
- Speedohealer (v4)

RC51-SP2 swingarm:
- RC51-SP2 swingarm with custom welded lower link mount (Idea from hawkter996)
- CBR F4i rear shock (Modified with heavier spring and custom internals by Jamie Daugherty)
- RC51-SP2 rear caliper & caliper mount
- CBR 1000RR rear wheel & sprocket (6" with a 190/55 tire)
- Custom mount plate for rearset at the pivot bolt
- Custom rearset (parts from cheap eBay set and some custom made parts)

Fairing:
- Dark tinted DB screen
- CBR 954RR OEM hugger
- Mototeck undertail
- GSXR Mirrors, with signals in them (Custom made mount from scratch)
- T-Rex sliders
- Delrin sliders on both wheel axles

Electrical:
- HID projector (Nissan G35) High & low beam.
- Brake light modulator (build and design by me)
- R1 Mosfet Regulator/Rectifier Swap
- Peugeot 206/307 flush mount indicators
- LED plate light in Mototeck undertail
- LED taillight Retrofit (Idea from haknslash)
- 8 pack of A123 cells replaced the battery ("Home made")
- Moved ECU & CDI to the battery box with the new smaller battery
- Improved wire harness with more ground points
- Suzuki Hayabusa handlebar controls (Gives me warning lights and moves the light switch to above the start button, great for killing the HID before cranking)

Engine:
- Custom one of a kind cam's
- Adjustable Cam sprockets
- Ported & flowed heads
- Lightened flywheel
- BMC Street airfilter
- FloCommander
- Aluminum velocity stacks
- DIY Manual CCT's (bolt through drilled out stock CCT body)
- Moriwaki Highcomp Pistons
- Moriwaki Oz valves & springs
- Reinforced Crank & Rod bearings/seats
- EBC Heavy duty clutch springs and plates
- Factory Pro Shiftstar, spring and detent kit

Misc:
- Sargent seat
- Aluminum front fairing stay & rear subframe (custom made by me)
- Jardine Aluminum high mount slip-on, removed muffler mount from stock rear footpegs and spaced them out
- 16/42 gearing
- Short throw throttle
- Adjustable and folding brake and clutch grips
- Custom made mount for my disc lock (I got tired of opening the seat to store it)

Things I haven't gotten around to finishing quite yet:
- VFR 800 fuel tank (Still need to fix the joint line with the seat, not willing to cut on the Sargent seat...)
- Öhlins steering damper (I didn't need one before, but with the high rear and slightly lower front the bike is a bit prone to headshakes on corner exit if I push it...) Still need to find the correct parts to match up the 929/954 triple and VTR frame...

Plus a whole bunch of little things I already forgotten... I'm on my second round of re-doing mod I forgot I had done now... Or it could be the third?!?

Tweety you seriously should update the pics on that thing... I think I saw all of those when I was researching VTR's before I bought mine, haha!

I`ll throw mine into the hat again after the next round of mods is done (namely ZX-10R forks,....)

Good luck to all, nice bikes so far :)

Alright since I'm already logged in and since I'm going to make some big changes this year ......here goes.....

1998
D&D black exhaust (slipons only)
Polished orig header (PO)
15/43 530 chain
15,4XX orig miles
APE CCT (ohh ahhh is that considered a mod??):D
Original R/R (soon to be changed)
Fancy schmancy photographs (my riding buddy is a sports photographer)

Thanks for looking!

Yep, I should... But that includes cleaning the bike... And it hasn't been 5 years from the last cleaning yet, so I'm holding out... ;) And besides, I'm not done with it yet... ;)

aye brother, and you never will be, lol (from one who knows.......)

It's picking up now :-)

I like the pictures, there you go.... Red is the fastest color :arrow::!::D

Id finally throw mine into the mix after 7 years being on this forum but all I have to show is a heap of parts :P ... my goal is to have it done by end of march, mid april. maybe then...

good luck everyone, looks like an interesting battle this month

And BTW I think its gotten to the point where we should change the name from VTROTM to OCMDOTM..

Just sayin

If you can't beat 'em, may as well join 'em :)

Now that would be an interesting addition to the VTROTM LOL

(:-})

Give it a couple months and ill put mine in when its up and running

only 3 votes so far how disappointing come on you lot

not long left now !!

Nuhu... I didn't win it... It's a tie... And that was dissapointingly PC of the lot of you... ;)

But, I guess I actually prefer a tie... I like Kermit... If I where to re-do my bike from the ground up, I'd probably steal a few of the ideas... But not all... ;)

Does this mean another poll gets set up then.

I'm thinking of entering mine for a laugh in the March VTROM. I shall have to give it a wash first and take some good pics. See how well she does before some serious customisation.

(:-})

I'm just happy I was able to get on the podium! :D
