Yeah it sounds fantastic. I was on the freeway and new R1M pulled up on me. I have to say I think the Ducati sounded best!

I'm so happy to hear that number, which I had the same bike set up as you did. (did you installed the air filter that came with package as well?).

in addition, I had the same bike as you did as well, what a coincidence!!

Yeah I installed the sprint filter as well.
The S1000RR is typical German does everything well but no soul. Here she is.

I would say that is more Honda than BMW.

I’m a huge Honda hater so I wouldn’t know. I’ve worked on a few of them and thought to myself what the eff were they thinking. Ha

I'm surprised you not doing Gilles this round? little disappointed the colors when I received them, I did consider the DP rearset, which is Rizoma, however, hearing about shifting issues turns me away from that decision. what rearset you have now?

I looked at them and I wasn't in love. I put the Giamoto on check out this post on page 11. I love them they perform excellent and fit my style perfect.

I like how they came in with non-foldable.

I had to pay extra with that...

Yeah I like that option too. So if I need to do any swingarm or rear suspension maintenance I can use stands under the rearsets.

TsaiCo · May 15, 2020

yup, that's one of the reasons I got it for as well.

plus, after riding track with fix footpeg, the folding style just not my scene now...

More Ti Diet
Front fairing stay bolts

Proti Ti pivot pin

Aella Ti Valve caps
This is one of my favorite parts on the bike.

Now that the fairings are fully cured I added PPF to the high impact areas.
I normally do the front nose fairing the headlights and the front fender.
This was a precut kit from the tankslapper. I did xpel ultimate on the gloss parts and xpel stealth on the matte fender.

Hey brother been reading this thread and was wondering did you apply the Gtechniq before the PPF? I thought it was after you put the PPF on since the PPF wouldn't stick to the ceramic quoting

Correct on the areas I knew I was going to install PPF I waited and coated them later.
It was basically just the nose fairing and front fender. I didnt coat the headlights Just PPF.

Ah OK makes sense how do you like the gtechniq? What polish did you use before you applied the ceramic?

Yeah they make excellent products.
After a couple years I’ll do something different. I don’t remember which compound I used I have so many. If youre just starting out Sonax makes a product called “perfect finish“ it works well. 1 step product good amount of cut and finish.
