Back to the Street: Stunt Spec CBR1000RR Custom

 7 min read

Team CB's CBR1000RR

Supersport is a genre of motorcycles where each motorcycle manufacturer reflects their competitiveness in racing. Even though there are restrictions on the displacement and other factors depending on the racing category, in terms of cornering and acceleration performance, it is positioned at the pinnacle of models offered by each manufacturer. Additionally, Supersport models are often used for extreme bike stunts, relying on their high-revving engines, light weights, and compact silhouettes which create dynamic motion. Moreover, since Supersport models are equipped with a full cowl, there is room to apply graphic decals on it as a canvas to enhance their visual appeal. This CBR1000RR custom is reminiscent of the MotoGP racer RC211V, based on SC57 (2004-2007) with characteristic dual headlights and a tail cowl with a protruding silencer.

Originally, this bike was a demo bike for the extreme motorcycle wear brand, ICON Motorsports. It was brought from the US to Japan and had its blinkers and other safety-related parts replaced to comply with Japanese law, and a license plate was also obtained. The engine is stock, but the coloring is wrapped with the graphic of ICON's Legion. The silencer, rearsets, and brake parts have been replaced, but it can still be used outside of the track. Generally, with Supersport models, the era can be easily identified by appearance, which may be a concern for those who are interested in trends. However, such concerns are not necessary as the unique graphics can help to cover up these issues with this custom.

Handle

The mirrors are downsized and brackets are placed in a top-to-bottom configuration. The front blinkers are small types, which are set near the nose of the dragon graphic.

The front master is a Brembo radial with a foldable lever, but clutch side remains to be stock. GPR steering damper was added.

Bodyworks

The cowls are all painted in black and wrapped with the ICON's Legion Main-Frame graphic.

Intake & Exhaust

The exhaust protruding from the tail cowl has been replaced with an aftermarket part. The rear blinkers are also an American product and are built into the panel added to the tail.

Engine

The water-cooled DOHC 4-valve, inline 4-cylinder 999cc engine and aluminum twin-spar frame are retained, and the frame is painted in black.

Chassis

The rearsets are made by VORTEX in the U.S., which is strong in this genre. The drive chain is EK-Chain ThreeD black and gold.

The front forks are the stock Φ43mm inverted type, and the front brake consists of Brembo CNC P4 30/34 calipers and SUNSTAR discs.

With the black painted swingarm, the rear single shock is upgraded using Race Tech's internal parts as well as the front forks. 3-spoke 3.50-17/6.00-17 wheels are also stock, but painted in fluorescent magenta.

Rear brake consists of Brembo P2 34 caliper and SUNSTAR disc. The brake lines are changed to the ones made of stainless steel mesh.

Speed and Style: HONDA CBR1000RR Custom

 4 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CBR1000RR" custom by Webike community user "Umayuki". The silencer has been replaced with a TSR Slip-on Exhaust. Since it closely resembles the stock shape, it preserves the original beauty of the CBR. For the brake pads, METALLICO Spec 3 Brake Pads are installed, offering strong braking power reminiscent of carbon brake discs and high controllability.

The clutch and brake levers use CNC-machined levers from ZETA, featuring 20 levels of fine position adjustment for more precise control. In addition, HURRICANE Aluminum Clip-On Handlebars have been equipped. The position at the handlebar ends is 55mm higher compared to stock, which reduces fatigue during riding. The windshield has been replaced with a TSR Shield Works type, which is 40mm higher than stock for improved aerodynamic performance.

A DID ZVM-X series chain is used for the chain, offering high rigidity and minimal deformation during riding, which improves response and acceleration. It also features a longer service life, allowing the rider to enjoy the improved bike performance for a ling time. Additionally, the rear sprocket has been replaced with an eye-catching gold-colored sprocket from XAM.

To enhance the bike's appearance and reduce weight, a NEXRAY CARBON DRY Rear Fender has been installed. It features a special protective coating that helps maintain the beauty of the carbon over time, ensuring long-term use. The step bars have been replaced with a TSR Sports Step Bar Set, featuring a knurling process that provides just the right amount of grip for street riding.

Riding the Light: HONDA CBR1000RR Custom

 4 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CBR1000RR" custom by Webike community user "TonTon". The CBR1000RR Fireblade is a supersport that Honda has built to compete seriously against its rivals on the racetrack. It is the lightest among all Japanese liter supersport bikes. The light weight is further enhanced by the SUNSTAR Rear Sprocket, made from ultra-duralumin (A7075) material known for its excellent hardness and durability despite its lightweight nature. This greatly reduces weight under the suspension, positively impacting the ride quality. A smoother drivetrain should also lead to increased top speed. It's crucial to select parts in such a way that there is no imbalance in the combination, ensuring both the sprocket and chain contribute to high durability. Therefore, the owner opted for the DID ZVM-X Series Chain 525ZVM-X, which combines the high rigidity of a racing chain with long-lasting performance. For maintenance, an essential item is the BABYFACE Swingarm Stand Hook M8. Besides serving as a protector for the swingarm in case of a fall, it also provides a dress-up effect. The ACTIVE Fender Eliminator Kit also contributes to enhancing the bike's appearance. It doesn't require modifications to the chassis, and each part is beautifully crafted. However, it does involve dismantling the entire rear body during installation, which may be time-consuming if you're not accustomed to such tasks. Nevertheless, the resulting effect is well worth the effort.

 3 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CBR1000RR" custom by Webike community user "MeiMei". The CBR1000RR is a supersport model motorcycle designed to be a replica of HRC's works machine, the RC211V. This customization includes a TSR titanium full exhaust, SUNSTAR PREMIUM RACING front disc rotors, and Brembo radial brake master cylinders. The stock chain was replaced with RK JAPAN's Black Scale series chain for great looks and performance. The suspension is equipped with an Ohlins rear shock absorber, which is much easier to operate than the stock, and the preload can be easily adjusted according to the riding conditions. This is perfect for the owner who rides on everything from city streets to winding roads and racetracks. The steps were replaced with TSR's 4-position step kit, which combines a sophisticated design with toughness, and the owner has been raving about its excellent construction and operability since installing it. Both front and rear wheels are MARCHESINI M10S Kompe Evo forged aluminum wheels, and the old hub dampers were replaced with new ones. These wheels are lightweight and highly rigid, and the design does not compromise on safety and reliability, so the owner can continue to enjoy his motorcycle life with peace of mind.

Tricolor Spec with Flat-type Handlebar: CBR1000R Custom

 6 min read

NO LIMIT JAPAN's CBR1000RR

The bike is in bright Honda TRI-COLOR and is based on the CBR1000RR (SC57). Not only is the exterior color carefully detailed, including the blue stripe around the headlight, but the front fork outer tube and seat leather are tailored in red. Its front and rear wheels are also metallic gold, and the coloring follows that of the CB1100R, the former flagship of the air-cooled CB series (here we refer to the RC / RD), even if the parts and shape are different. Covers on either side of the engine, which used to be in gold on the stock CB1100R, are additionally equipped with sliders. With such elements, the more people know about the CB1100R, the more they will be attracted to it.

The wheels were powder coated, which look like the anodized finish of the CB1100R stock wheels, so they can be used as replacements for air-cooled 1100R. The engine sliders are chrome-plated. Another feature of the SC57 is its handlebar. It fits neatly in an outstretched hand. By precisely adjusting the most important position for riding, not to mention the coloring, this CBR became all-round model remaining a style of the legend at the same time.

Bodyworks

CB1100R has blue lines on the outside of each headlight. And of course, this work has the same ones, but they are arranged to run between the two lights. HIGHSIDER's ultra-small blinkers are installed above the switch box in the front and on either side of the tail cowl in the rear. For headlights, ring-shaped ones have been selected, and windshield has been cut to some extent.

The color pattern and lines of the CB1100R are beautifully arranged on the SC57, with candy in each color and ice pearl in the white.

The original black seats has been reupholstered in a red color similar to the CB1100R stock seats. These details creates CB1100R style.

Handle

The top bridge is SC57, and a bracket has been added to convert it into a flat-type handlebar for a more flexible feel. The front master cylinder and clutch master are both made by Gale Speed.

Chassis

The pulsar / generator cover, which is finished in gold on the CB1100R, is represented in this SC57 by an engine slider made by Agras and painted in gold plating on the CB's. The 999cc four-cylinder engine itself and the aluminum twin-spar frame both remain to be stock.

The sliders that look like a gold generator cover are also plated. The "1000RR" decal on the undercowl inherits the design of CB1100R logo.

The suspension is based on the stock SC57, but the brake lines are stainless steel mesh. The front forks have red outer tubes, and the front brake calipers have been also plated and painted red. There are also small golden bolts which work as an accent-color in this part.

The 3.50-17/6.00-17 size wheels are stock SC57s, and both front and rear are powder-coated gold, again creating a CB1100R image. It should also be noted that it can be used to refresh the stock paint job on the air-cooled CB1100R. The rear shocks are Nitron's products.

Intake & Exhaust

The center-up titanium exhaust system is one-off made, with additional work done by Stella.
