My Latest Track Project - Warning - It's Not a Kwaka..!!!
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:41 pmHi all,
Just thought I would update everyone on my latest project.. Yes another full rebuild, and any of you who already know of my bikes, you will know I spare no expense and rebuild them to an excellent standard.. This one has turned out perfect but be warned... it is not a Kawasaki..
Yes it's a HONDA CBR600RR..... 
Now I still totally love my ZX10 and will not be getting rid of that one..!! That is for sure.. I am just playing with something different...!!
I purchased this one crashed from the auctions and decided to build it up for myself, as I have always wanted to try out a 600, and hopefully do some supersport / superstock racing sometime, and this model has been getting rave reviews, so Ithough "why not?" I have learnt a lot from working on the Honda, and I can definitely say that Kawasaki's are the best bikes to work on for sure...!! But still everything has gone back together very well on this one, it is all straight and has had it's first run at the island on the Queens Birthday with outstanding results...!!
Repairs / replacement parts required for this bike included forks and lower triple clamp, rear subframe, front master cylinder, levers, replaced rearsets, screen, fairing stay, bar ends, throttle grip and cables plenty of other bits and pieces, but the rebuild is now complete. Performance / racing mods now include, G.B Racing covers, race throttle insert (60 degrees), BMC High Flow filter, larger rear sprocket (1 tooth), Leo Vince SBK Pipe, Sato Rearsets, Galfer Braided lines, Oleon Oil, Michelin Power-1 tyres .. and that's about all I can think of. Armour Bodies race glass, just waiting for the paint to go on and it will be ready for the annual road trip to Eastern Creek, double day at the end of July..!!!
Check out the pics.. I will post another update on the track performance in the 'Track Day / Racing' section on this forum...
