Question for the CB-1 racers

[mechdziner714]

CB-1 racers. I am gonna prep my bike for my entry into the sport bike racing world this winter. Do you use frame sliders. If so what sliders and where did you place them.

[Rusty]

I am looking for sliders and rearsets for 'Butt Ugly" too!

Anybody have any clues?

Rusty

do you run in WERA, Nesba, etc

what classes does the -1 fit in

[Rusty]

Just a track day junkie "run what you brung"
I have a RC51. Used it for a couple of track days. Hard on tires. And I don't like to throw it in the kittie litter for a up close inspection of it.
I got the -1 for free.  Long story. The -1 would be easier on tires. and more fun passing the big bikes in the turns.

I think I have a lead on rearsets from japan. 30mm back, 17mm up. Looks sweet. Going to check on the sliders too!

Well post some pics & details.

I'm not at a point yet that I'll race my -1. We are trying to get 4-5ppl (got 3 so far) together w/ EX250's to race WERA this year. Should be lots of fun and lots of learnin this summer. The lil ninjer is dirt cheap & parts are a steal. Next year I may move up to 400cc. If I can find a cheap -1 that would be great but I'll prolly end up w/ an FZR400 or EX500

[Rusty]

Nobody makes framesliders for the -1. The best you can do is to mod one from another bike. The rearsets are on order from japan. When I get them, I will post them with all the details. I don't want to get anybodys hopes up until I can look them over.
The EX500 would be easier to get parts for then the FZR. But I like the FZR more.
You will learn alot more with a small bike than a big bike to start to start with. A big bike WILL get you in trouble quicker. Enjoy the off season, and plan for next.

My contact in japan found frame sliders for the -1. . I should be getting the rearsets ,frame sliders, and a moto gp exhaust can sometime after the holidays. You can contact "simon@simonkobejapan.com. He can get you these parts. When I get the parts in, I'll posts pictures.

how much did the rearsets run you?

[Rusty]

The rear sets are $280 plus $55 for the pegs. You have a choice of 3 different peg styles. One non-folding, and two folding. Not a bad price when you look at other rear sets for other bikes.I am still waiting for them and some other parts to come. The other parts are the hold-up right now.

[Rusty]

Parts just came in.  Simon shipped them from Japan on the 15th, and I got them on the 19th. Everything look nice. Will post pictures later. Just walked in the door. Worked night shift, and I'm tired.

[marty]

let us know how they work out!

[Rusty]

Here are the pictures.
It took about 1 hour to do the rearsets, about 15 minutes for the sliders. going to get a new mid pipe made for the can.

Very cool. Are the rear sets changing the foot positioning?

[Rusty]

Yes they do. 30mm back, and 17mm up.
