NC29 Tidy up

I hate to admit it but I had a low side a couple of months ago (about a month into my riding). The bike was only off the road for 3 weeks then I made do for the past month or two riding it naked. Until Now.
Unfortunately its back off the road now for a couple of weeks because the fairings are off for spraying, and I need new chain and sprockets (which are the their way) and a new clutch kit.

Ok, so going back to the start. The 29 looked like so.

The obviously bike vs concrete isn't a good combination. Clip on snapped off, fairings were grazed and pulled off, and the screen was smashed.

So the strip down began. I got all the broken bits off, ordered the new screen and brace up. And spoke to a panel maker who got cracking on a new set of fairings for me.

The screen etc arrived before the fairings, So the 29 was ridden like so:

Just made it slightly more comfortable at 100+, although the handling was still greatly affected and it liked to tank slap alot. Confused

Tyres got thin, Exhaust then rusted and broke and the bike got ran into the ground a bit. So I took the 29 off the road to give it a good going over.

Got the new tyres on, made a new header pipe out of car exhaust at work and LOADS of oxy/acc welding. The bike was temporally back on the road.

I went for a ride out to Brands hatch when the WSB was on, Still without the fairings.

Finally the fairings arrived, but sadly the wrong colour. Although the tank was still dented and the rear end was still scraped up, So it wasn't too much of a personal issue.

I decided to keep the fairings on until I got my spare tank back from a local sprayer so I could get a proper paint code so the fairings could be re-sprayed to match the tank.

The tank arrived today, So I stripped the 29 back down, got the fairing boxed up and is ready to be sent back for spraying up properly. When it returns Dave will have made me a matching 1 piece belly panel too.

Heres my lovely Tank.

Bought myself a new set of headers too as the welded ones did look shite.

Heres the 29 as it stands now. Once the fairings are back, the rear subframe should have been changed for an R1 one, and the R1 rear fairings should be here and ready for spraying up in the same blue.

Its slowly coming together.

You've done a great job Bingey! Thumbs Up

Absolute shame about the lowside though. I gotta say without the front inspection panels on the front end really resembles the speed triple! I rode mine around without anything on the frontend (no screen, no mirrors), and you REALLY needed to tuck in at 100. Loving the exhaust on it too, how does it sound? Most of the aftermarked exhausts ive seen for the CBR's sound extremely tinny compared to the standard. Good job mate, and good luck!

Riding over confident happens to be the best way to get to know your limits.

Looks so hurt in that top pic binge, made me cringe Laughing

Glad it's coming together now, I gotta get me one some time. Razz

I wouldnt really call it riding over confident as I felt well within my riding limits when I lost it.

Looking back at photos of the scene, The roundabout was actually quite gravely so all we can put it down to is shite on the road really.

Heres an Idea of what happened.

Anyway, the crash was ages ago. Ive just decided to bring it up now because the bike is almost fixed.
My riding style has certainly changed since the spill though. Not only am I more aware of what is possible, I actually feel more confident on the bike as I know its limits now. Thumbs Up

Apologize for the lame Photo shop attempt. Just knocked this up though. Its the look im trying to achieve. Just got to find room to route the link pipe to the seat unit for the exhaust.

I know all the "Work" for the running of the engine is done in the header pipes and not so much the end can. If I was to use Flexible exhaust pipe (Not the "Flexi pipe" on a car, more like spring pipe) to link the very end of my current Exhaust pipe work when it would usually go into the end can. And route it up to the underseat and into an end can, Would this fuck up the running of the engine?

R1 tail and R1 style front fender (With the fork Legs)

I like the tail peice bingey but I dont like the new front fender! As for your link section, yeah your right its generally just the headers that acctually matter, what I would suggest is 'sectioning' yourself a new exhaust, just make it out of sections of measured SS pipe, it wont look terribly pretty but it will be rock solid!

Looks pretty sweet, but that old 29 rear end is what makes it a 29 IMO. Cool
