New Stuff on it's way - Part 2.

[MarinaFazer]

ohhhhhh, ok, I thought this rubber mounting thing was aftermarket...Didn't know ours was like that. Yay for learning something new!

How much higher and further back are your rearsets vs. the stock position?

On a side note; when I was going through tech yesterday at the track, the offical grabbed the heal guard of the stock rearsets and have it a big tug. When it wiggled all over he almost jumped! He looked at me and said, \"Rubber mounted huh?\" \"Yup, shore is.\" He rolled his eyes.

I agree, GP style is the way to go for the high speed riding, it is all but impossible at times to get your toe under the shifter without getting it ripped off!

They are not that much further back...sorta forgot to take comparison photo's at the time, but are definitely a little higher...biggest plus is the more refined gear shift, and lack of flex through the pegs, when shifting weight, etc.

Lol! i did the same thing when i purchased the bike, bent down and grabbed the assembly, and was completely spun out by the amount of flex, was less than impressed, and even more so once i started riding the bike! Rearsets have been on the shopping list since day one as a result...

As for the Moto G style gear shift.....swapped from normal to GP Style yesterday, after beating my foot to death, and destroying a boot over the weekend when i did about 800km's in 3 days....just hope i dont get into an emergency situation, and forget that i have changed things about....

The other thing that i did yesterday was get some new Sidi Vertigo race boots....having trashed my Falco's, and as i have found out that with the soild mounted rearsets with no rubber footrest...that in anything other than full boots, these suckers, start to hurt your feet after about 30minutes of hard riding...

The Sidi Vertigo boots are awesome by the way...you get what you pay for...top class boots!

Picked up my 15t front today from Maximoto. With luck I,ll have my speedohealer in a couple of weeks :cheer:

How much was the sprock? Thinking of doing the same but have an extremely limited budget at the moment. Any ideas on how much the speedo healers are,? Easy install? The sprocket will apparently be a sinch to my old man who said he does them blind folded, but he also insisted that I change the rear and chain at the same time. My thought s were he has OCD.

 

[OZXJR]

The sprocket was $35 and the best price I could find on the healer was $130 shipped.

 

[FZ6 Tas]

Ok. Sounds good.

 

[Wolfman]

I did not fir my Speedohealer, the shop did...so i cant help you on the fitment details.

Re the 15t front sprocket, you notice it off the line a bit, but more so further up the rev range, brings 8000 rpm in top down to about 115km'h, so perfect for overtaking...

Still want a 14t just to see how radical it is!

:rockon:

I,ll be doing mine myself .I love having a go at that kind of stuff.

Sprocket is easy,done that heaps of times and cut chains to length ,no great mystery there.The instructions on the s/healer site seem pretty straight forward.

According to the calculator you set the healer to -11.1 % and your good to go.

Yeah i reckon i could of done the Speedohealer, but it was just easier to get them to fit it when it was at the shop....and they did a very neat job too.

Yes the calculator on the website makes it very easy to set up once installed, or adjust.

:thumbup:

 

[OZXJR]

where did they mount yours ?

where did they mount yours ?

Control box is under the seat, right next to my PCIII, and the top speed reset button is neatly hidden next to my clutch lever assembly.

Bike goes in this week for the rest of round 2 of my mods....

08 Forks
05 R6 Brake Calipers
08 Front fender - Black
Pazzo Levers
Braking Wave Disc Rear
New Ferodo Sintered pads - front calipers

Oh and i need a new rear tyre, have a Michelin Pilot Road 2CT on the front, and have had same on rear, has been an awesome trye, but would like to try the Pilot Power 2CT to see what that is like, but am worried that the back will push the front in hard going, because of the extra grip at the rear with the softer compound.....?????

Looking forward to my new Brake calipers, and Pazzo's more than anything....i think these 2 items will complete the package re refining the performance side of things.

I am hearing huge wraps on the new MRF nylogrip zapper tyres , $120 fitted for a rear , 3 compound rubber..... they claim stickier than any tyre on the market and guarenteed Km's

Mate of mine told me about them the other day........ He had 1 put on his CB1300 , so it may even be cheaper for us being a smaller tyre

The MRF website tells me we want the ZAPPER C

Nice! Nothing like flashing back to the 70's and early 80's to be reminded of how far tires have come. Nothing like a 3.25 X 19 with a ribbed pattern.
