Heads up! I know more than a couple of you are running these clip-ons. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/Renthal-Recalls-Motorcycle-Clip-on-Handlebars

I thought the wings in MotoGP were just to screw up the air for the guy behind?

Gerber makes a slew of multitools for specific tasks. Maybe they have something?

Need pictures of said doohicky. I don't recall any fasteners for the coolant overflow.

So how long before you have a turning package ready for market? :) I have a PVC but not a huge fan of the piggy back. Would be nice to have full control just through the stock ECU.

I had no issues with the crank nut taking the prescribed torque. Did not do the clutch hub, it was not a known issue at the time. Make sure the threads are dry save for the thread locker for proper torque.

I have cut the knobs off the stock triple to run Renthal Clipons. I had to add length to the steering stops to keep the controls off the tank. No clearance issues with the cables or levers.They are easily 1.5" lower than stock.

While you have the clutch cover off do the crank nut as well. The one that retains the timing sprocket.

I am 6' too. Still no where near where the KTM pads are on the fairings.See knees no where near and the clear stomp grips blend in.

Yeah, some how I ended up drinking the orange koolaid again and ended up with an RC8R.

Must include a dozen smoke breaks, a long lunch, and a nap. First time I did mine was 3 hours. Taking my time to remove and inspect various aspects of how the bike was built. I even put the rubber bib back.

Same, I have the clear ones over the graphics on the tank. They disappear.

The grip pads on the fairing still don't make sense to me. My legs are no where near that area.

Fairly sure these are 6061-T6. Not going to get much better than that in aluminum unless you go to 7075 or 2024 but now you are into real aircraft materials. Still 6061 is far better than the crappy cast aluminum the bike comes with. I have not had problems with the kickstand bolts on these...

Yup, there is a hidden button on the cluster you can hold before you start the bike that will turn off ABS. For a street bike I have not found a compelling reason to remove the ABS. Properly bled you can get a nice firm lever if your rotor is not bent.

The EBC HH pads will 1 finger stoppie with the stock rotor until you warp it. Have to turn off the ABS to get a proper stoppie. Those HH pads were also VERY loud until they fully bedded in.

Nice to know it has the power! I need something that is consistent and some what easy to modulate. The stock solid rotor was a challenge to ride once it went all bacon on me.

That is good to hear! I have one on order from Hard Racing. Can't wait to have confident braking again.

Well the first 2-3 braking points were amazing. Once the rotor build of some heat it all went pear shaped. By the end of a 20 minute session the rotor looked like a piece of bacon and the lever would go clear to the bar. In the pits while everything was hot you could see daylight between the...

Getting tired of the terrible front brake lever feel and in consistent bite point I decided to check the runout on the front rotor. I thought it might be runout related because I could pump the lever up to a nice hard brake but as soon as the wheel rotated the lever would be mush again. Got...
