Default This is not a Photochop. **RCW**

Here is the work done to it so far.

This is OEM bodywork with very small modification needed just try before the raceglass get here and I mold and integrate the ram air into it.

the stock upper stay fits, the OEM RC51 lower mounting points fit without any modification to them and there's lots of space for those who have the front mount radiator kit installed (but it won't fit the OEM RC radiators).

New Radiator is been worked on and it is a front mount but nothing like existing. if it work as plan, should be more central, thinner and more efficient.

Feedback is always good guys, good or bad, i don't mind but I would like to hear what you all have to say.











BTW, Thank you Mrgn for the Pipes, these things are the sweetest pipe i've ever own. can't wait to get it up to speed to record the findings.



Note: there's only one pipe shown because i'm still waiting for the Right side mid pipe from Akro that's backordered for some time now.

Looks better on your RC than on the 1Krr!

That makes a stock RC look bloated...

Amazing work

That looks really great and updates the RC. A little more fairing over the engine would be more to my liking - something like this.
Can't wait to see how the ram air works out for you.

I love my RC but that was always something i didn't like about it, way to much plastic (adding extra Lbs) and covering parts of the machine that are just so cool to look at not to mention less cover means cooler engine bay = more power.

that could also be done if anyone will like to do it too.

I'm going to take advantage of the less bodywork to keep the engine (specially the oil) cooler since i'm going to relocate the oil cooler right after the new radiator gets here.

thanks for the feedback and the chop too. looks sweet

Looks like you have just the left side fairing on right now.
Try to compile a giff file format. Take a bunch of pics keeping your camera at the exact level all the way around the bike. Like a video but Giff files look real well on the "net" and don't take as much to host when pasting. PM me to explain more but no matter what....GREAT JOB!!!
