Ducati is 99% sold. Money isn’t in hand but its going to a personal friend I have known for a long time.
So, whats next for KK?
For some reason I am thinking of finding a down’d 2004-2005 CRB1000RR and building a drag/show bike out of it. Then of course riding it till its sold. I really want to get into running it at lvd for fun.
-Extend the swingarm +4" or so. The 04-05 and early 06 are simple rectangle tube swingarms, 06.5+ are big molded looking ones. I can easily chop the early style and extend it myself.
-Lowering link 2-3" lower for the rear.
-Lower front. Up in the triples an inch and a strap for the track, or do it right and get Trac Dynamics cartridges for 2" drop.
Probably wont even pipe it for a while or mess with the motor at all. Its more bike than I can ever use dead stock power wise. I will probably just coat the can to match the bike and thats it.
I will end up painting it something crazy and coating alot of it too.
But seriously if you want to do a drag bike, I would say stay away from Jap bikes, at LVD they are too overdone, I would love to see someone show up with something different and turn some heads for a change, and a RC8 would be sweet, or if you could find RSV4! And if you go the Jap route lower and stretch a RC51.
couldnt find plastics to fix it. And there is no way to duplicate it with paint. they are decals under the clear… that of which I couldnt find (decals) either.
Swapping out for regular plastics would be a sin IMO for that bike.
well if u buy a motard with electric start ill commit to it before you even buy it depending on which one, i love my yz450f on the street but it is a pain in the fucking balls to start that thing… i am sick of kick start.
The 04-05 CBR1kRR was heavy and lacked power. The 04-05 ZX10R was a much better bike, as was the 05-06 GSXR1k.
If I was going to build a stretched bike from that era it would be the ZX10R. Too many stretched gixxers in the world, but the gixxer would be easier to find parts for. Maybe a turbo kit in the future?
i say honda rc51 or fireblade. get a sp2 rc51 if you can.
get a set of wheels and tires. it will hook alot better. the more slick the better
air shifter or solenoid shifter
lower the seating position as low as you can
maybe throw in a gear in front or back or both
extend it but not much. i would say 3-4" max. but it depends on your stock wheelbase or bike you choose. i would rather have a wheelie bar that i could remove if bike was street/strip. extended bikes cant turn worth sh!t. if you have a removable wheelie bar it would work both ways.
rear suspension. needs drag setup
if you want a ganster stretch bike with underglow its alot different than a drag bike. so please build drag bike. too many ricer motorbikes imo.
