New Rc213V Photos

2012-01-30T14:05:00.000Z

Here are the newly released photos of the RC213V. There are more on my facebook site in greater detail.

Casey Stoner Number #1

2012-01-30T12:14:00.000Z

Here is the first of many publicity photos for the Repsol Honda Team for 2012. Casey has the Number one on the new RC213V. The artwork
appears unchanged for the 2012 season apart from
the Repsol HRC logos on the front mudguard (fender) and of course sporting the number 1.

Because my Repsol spares have to go somewhere

2012-01-29T16:22:00.001Z

Here are some 35 Litre storage boxes used for my spares. They come from the really useful box company.

M3 Titanium nut

2012-01-27T13:38:00.000Z

Well its been like the holy grail. I replaced all the bolts/screws for the radiator fans but could not find
any M3 Titanium nuts. Well, after a 3 month search. I now have 5! The good news is that all bolts have been replaced. The weight loss is minimal but i'm not one to shy away from a challenge!

R&G Titanium spindles

2012-01-26T20:01:00.001Z

I found a great contact who has made the titanium spindles for my front and Rear crash bungs. The rear is 148.4g standard as opposed to just 83g! The front is 119.3g standard or just 65.3g for the titanium item. The craftsmanship is amazing!

New titanium fitted

2012-01-23T18:57:00.001Z

I fitted the custom titanium seat screws today to replace the standard ones and also replaced the R&G cotton reel bolts to titanium bolts.

Tenkate velocity stacks (bell mouth)

2012-01-09T13:25:00.001Z

Just received these today. These are used by the wsb team do should be a nice upgrade for me.

Clutch cable adjuster

2012-01-06T12:31:00.001Z

Just received the new cable adjuster. It's drilled so lighter than standard and will match the new colour scheme

Fuel cap screws

2012-01-05T11:49:00.001Z

I received these replacements today to match the new theme for 2012.

2012 top yoke

2012-01-04T18:22:00.001Z

Here is my new top yoke to suit the new scheme for the bike

First trip out 2012

2012-01-04T10:30:00.001Z

I decided to spend some time working on the Taylor made exhaust. since it was fitted, I just wasn't happy with its fitment. after a few hours, i'm pleased to say it now fits 100% percent perfect.

A great year for the Repsol Honda Team 2011

2012-01-03T11:07:00.003Z

New items ordered

2012-01-02T21:37:00.000Z

2012 has started and have ordered some new items:

Clutch adjuster to match a new black theme. As always, lighter than stock.

Black fuel cap bolts to suit the new black theme

I have also bought a 2012 CBR1000RR top yoke. Honda has made these black for 2012 which is where my idea of the black fixings.

I have sourced a set of Ten Kate velocity stacks. I figure that if they are good enough for Johnny Rae then they are good enough for me! I also wonder if these will be used in the forthcoming Gresini Honda CRT bike.

I have also sourced another set of brand new Repsol fairings. I will update them with the 2011 stickers and fit the black subframe so it will look like the 2011 model (only better!)

Top 10 upgrades

2011-12-31T18:32:00.000Z

It seems tv is full of the 'best of 2011' shows so decided to list the best modifications for 2011.
These are in no particular order but have helped improve the bike.

1. Titanium Spindles. These made a huge difference to the front end. It made a light front end even sharper.

2. Galfer Wavey discs. I just like the look of them plus customised to match the bike have offered greater braking on the front end. They are supposed to be lighter too but haven't checked.

3. Custom Titanium engine spacers and washers. I struck gold by finding a company in the UK to manufacture titanium parts to the same spec as Honda.

3. Smoked tail light. Not exactly a performance mod but creates a smart look

4. Pro-bolt Titanium. Religously replacing bolts to reduce weight and to keep the looks of the bike

5. Mettec Titanium. These guys make many of the Honda special bolts in titanium. Fantastic!

6. Carbon fibre Honda Racing front mudguard (fender). Painted Repsol Blue an lighter than stock was a great unseen modification. It saved nearly 200 grams!

7. Dogcam bullet HD camera. Great for the twisties and hope for many more on-bike videos

8. Titanium rear spring. Not yet fitted but will no doubt put a smile on my face when i do!

9. SBK Carbon tank cover. Just like the pro's. Not painted or fitted but will be in 2012!

10. HRC Quick throttle kits. Not fitted yet but will definately make a huge difference in 2012!

Happy New Year!

2011-12-30T21:56:00.001Z

Its been a mixed year, the highs of Casey winning the 2011 Motogp championship and the sadness of losing Simoncelli. 2012 brings with it new challenges, Crt teams, new bikes and of course Dovi on a Yamaha. Next year should be very exciting.

Quick tidy up on the bike

2011-12-30T17:02:00.001Z

The weather outside is awful so took the time to start the bike and upgrade the power commander PCV firmware to 0.1.8.3 which was released on 26/10/11.

Reactiveracing update

2011-12-01T16:41:00.000Z

Well, its been a while but I discovered that the ebay seller Reactiveracing (aka Steve Heneghan) who thinks its reasonable to leave abusive feedback runs a company called Reactive Engineering Limited.
Steve apparently set up Reactive Engineering and runs a site at http://www.crcfairings.co.uk/. Personally, for peace of mind, I would buy CRC Fairings from Europe.

Reactiveracing has been reported to ebay and the feedback removed.

HRC quick action throttle

2011-11-30T20:37:00.002Z

I received the HRC quick action throttle today from ukroadandrace. This kit reduces the amount of turning needed on the throttle to accelerate. Ukroadandrace comes highly recommended for outstanding customer service.

Engine bolts have arrived

2011-11-28T15:42:00.001Z

My aluminium engine bolts have arrived. They are much lighter than standard so save around 70 grams
