My semi-carbon baby!

Hi there!

This will be my first post on this forum (Appart from the thread in the welcome section)
I had my BMW for aprox 2 years, and i really looove it!! This year i will also start taking it to the track...
Now i just pray for some better weather!!


Visual:
Racefoxx CF Bellypan
Racefoxx CF Front fender
Racefoxx CF Tank cover
Racefoxx CF Tank side cover (Not yet installed)
Racefoxx Seatcover (Driver seat only)
Racefoxx Wheelchucks
Racefoxx Bobbins
Hotbodies Undertail with integrated turn signals
GothamCycles HID Xenon convertion
Puig Doubble bubble windshield
TechSpec Snakeskin Tank-grip
CRG Brake & Clutch Levers
Motografix Tank-cover






Performance:
RG Engineering Custom Dyno
Dynojet Powercommander V
DID Chain convertion (-1 front +2 back) but i will change the gearing before summer!
K&N Air-Filter
Akrapovic Shorty Full system exhaust


(Edit: Bought the Arrow-exhaust and replaced the Akrapovic for mainly 2 reasons... It looks better with the Bellypan. And it has a DB-killer.




Dyno:
The Dyno was made w/o the 520 chain convertion with 95 octane pumpgas.. But im still a little disappointed with the figures...


180whp, 105nm Torque
(First dyno was still with PCV & Full Akra, but no custom dyno)




Right now the bike is at the dealers.. Apparently BMW had some kind of bulletin for the fuelpump... So they are checking that out!


Some old pictures, some new!

Ordered some more parts this weekend.

*TRW Rearsets
*GB Engine protection

*Pictures below are some older ones*

I do not have very mutch to compare it too..
But im satisfied with it! I dont think it have the same fitment quality as Ilmberger.. But again, it has 1/4 off the pricetag..
The overall building quality is good, and it looks amazing...

It did however need some small adjustment to fit properly.
Not all the holes were pre drilled. So we drilled another hole on each side (Total 6 screws)
We also needed to cut a little bit to fit the short Arrow exhaust.. And we also did cut a little bit near the radiator to get a better edge...

I put a picture below to explain it a little better
The tankcover and front fender is also from Racefoxx, and that fitted very well out of the box! The other carbon stuff is not from Racefoxx though..


Best regards
Chloe

Thats brilliant Chole! Thanks very much for your help i thik il buy one and trim it to fit. atleast i can drill the holes to suit my bike.

How do you find the Arrow in terms of noise?

No problem Jordan!
You should do that! I got a little help, but it only took 1-2 hour (total)

The delivery-time from Racefoxx was also very good... It only took 1,5 day from Germany too Sweden..
So if you order a stock piece you should have it within 2-3 buisness days..

Post some pictures when you are done

Compared to stock it is insanely loud... Even with earpluggs your ears will go a little numb after longer rides (Or high revs)

It is even louder then the Akrapovic full shorty exhaust... I think the decibel-levels are around the same... But the Arrow-pipes have more "drone"
It sounds like a V8 in idle and like a F1 V10 on revlimiter =)

I absolutely love it! The arrow also have a DB-Killer stock (No drilling needed)
However i do have some kind of home-made aftermarket DB-killer.. And it actually makes the bike track & roadlegal (DB-levels) belive it or not! I didnt think i could get it that quite with such a small can (And no CAT) but it sounds like a sewingmachine with the DB-killer inserted heheh

Just be aware that you WILL get attention to yourself (Both kinds) some people will love your bike and give you thumbs up.. And some car-drivers will give you the middlefinger...

A little update

Recently i bought a Gyro for the GoPro Actioncamera.
It will be mounted on the tank with a suction-mount...

I have not tried it in action yet... (Only played around with it indoors)
But it seems to be working fine! I put some videos below...

How does the arrow compare to stock noise when it's got the db killer in?

He Chloe


I have the same exhaust but for the 2015 RR.



:livid:

Almost exactly the same! Maybe a little more bassdrone on idle.. But when you rev it, it sounds almost exactly like stock noise..
Keep in mind that my DB-killer is a homemade longer version.... It looks like a normal DB-killer. But a small bent metal pipe without holes have been added to it.. So the db-killer actually sticks out a couple of inches from the exhaust..

Im not near the bike today.. But i could try to get a photo for you tomorrow.

Best regards
Chloe

the exhaust was from santa claus :love_heart:

I havent mounted it right now because i have sent my exhaust to a coating specialist.

A matt black coating (stable until 1000 degrees).

Check it out
