Robert,

can you post some close ups of the exhaust and the clamps?

Mine failed on both of these.


chockymonster - 15/1/07 at 09:55 PM

Also what have you done with the lip of the tub that's inside the cockpit?


Robert Ryan - 15/1/07 at 10:05 PM

Hope to see mark / Chris re; Exhaust fittings this week. not sure what you mean about the tub.

WHere the green fibreglass meets the inner panels next to the driver and passenger seats.


Robert Ryan - 15/1/07 at 10:19 PM

O' that bit. Nothing so far, It fits tight against the carbon pannels. I have plenty of rubber if its needed. Rescued attachment kit 7.JPG

Hi Robert, looks very tidy. How did you get the alu scuttle cover to look so neat? Wheres all your coil packs etc?

Just a couple of things I can see from that pic. Not sure if theyll like the cover around the steering column. If it was a sliding column they wouldnt be able to check for damage to the slide section.

Also, are you planning on putting an alumnium heat shield around the exhaust exit? It would be a shame to melt/discolour your bodywork.

Most of the wiring I have located behind the clocks on two alu plates. I will take the stearing rack cover off. and for the exhaust I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

CHEERS.

Looks like the neatest R1 installation Ive seen. Blades always look a bit tidier whereas the R1 takes a little work to hide stuff, top job mate.

Intrigued to know exactly how youve hidden the coil packs/ecu etc though - any more photos as Im not 100% happy with my scuttle area.

I take it you still had to extend the HT leads?

Same place for the ecu/relays etc?

ecu/relays etc. I put onto the the alloy plate behind the clocks. Yes I exstended the HT leads.

I love those seat covers!

Can you ask your friend if he'll do another set exactly the same


Robert Ryan - 17/1/07 at 05:59 PM

I will ask, I know he has a lot of work for the next few months making individual bike seats. I am going to try and get to most of the shows this year. Take a look and if you realy like them, I will get him to comitte to your order. He can do any style colour, logo and trim.
