CBR600RR Mini Project

Being that I haven't posted a project since the Buell build, I thought it was about time to chronicle something here in the forums. This time it's not quite as in-depth as the Buell, but I'll still bring you our three-part series chronicling the build-up of a 2007 Honda CBR600RR.
So welcome to Part I of a three-part series. This time around we installed an HMF slip-on and saw some pretty impressive gains. Here's a few pics and a video so you can hear the pipe and see the power gains.

First you have to remove the right-side rearset and then the lower clamp.
Then remove all of the stock exhaust shields followed by the stock muffler.
Now install the HMF mid pipe followed by the back muffler.
Now you're all done!

i think he's talking about between the rear tire and where the pipe starts to come up towards the seat

Good catch, yeah the new pipe wasn't all the way seated and we spilled a little cutting oil on it as well. Combine the two and you get smoke. We reseated the pipe and all was well.

cutting oil? undertail pipes can be a little tricky to get mounted up right sometimes.

Yeah, we had to make some small relief-cuts in the pipes to get them to fit properly. I didn't need to use cutting oil, but I did just as a precaution. After the small reliefs it fit like a glove. Check the current issue for the full story.

It's been a minute since I last posted some updates so I thought I would share the second round of mods. After fitting the HMF pipe and the custom Power Commander map from West Coast GP Cycles we decided it was time to slow this CBR's roll.
To do so I decided a budget combo of SBS sintered pads from Parts Unlimited and Melvin stainless steel black brakes lines would do the trick. The install went well, just make sure the new banjo bolts are the same thread-pitch as your factory bolts or you can ruin your OEM components.
The Melvin lines feature banjo ends that pivot, so getting the right angle is only a 5mm wrench away. After fitting the lines the lever feel was immediately better, not as spongy as stock.
The SBS sintered pads took a few miles to bed-in, but once everything was seated the new pads have SERIOUS bite. To be honest, if you get lazy and forget about the upgraded pads you can easily lock the front tire at slow speeds. Where they really shine is under repetitive stops where the sintered pads get better with lots of heat, unlike the stockers.
In the end we bettered our brakes with some budget pieces that didn't break the bank. For the full story and a nice stoppie shot, check out the September issue.
