On your SB6 with high bars I can't rev first out at the moment on the SB6R!!
I bought Dusty's SB6R and its awesome,handlings superb and I dyno'd it today and it made 139bhp and as far as I can tell its stock.I wonder if replacing the cans will yeild much more power?
On the subject of cans they weigh 20lb with the link pipe!!! I didn't split up so is it the pipe or the cans that weigh the most? |

About right for a 6R though. They had a revised airbox and ram (ish) air.
The pipe itself is steel and heavy ... but then so are the cans !!!
You might liberate a couple of ponies with different cans but I "think" the system might benefit from a larger dia where the 4 downpipes join into 2 and also where the 1 pipe breaks into 2 just before the cans.
I wonder how much a stainless system would cost and if a company would make a batch there was enough interest ??? _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

yeah, about right for a 6r (2 or 3 ponies more than mine ).
looked into having a one off zorst system made a while back. Was quoted the wrong side of £600 but it would have been a gamble if it would release more hp or less
Why do you need even more power |

there's a clever trick to keeping the front end down.........
eat loads of pies
to be honest, if you use the throttle like an on/off switch, you can't keep the front end down to the point of being almost un rideable.
much finesse and patience is required but feck, is it fun |

2-3 ponies could be the difference in a morning of afternoon session. I had an Acropavic front system for a Gix 1100W and it looked very similar to the Bim's apart from the pipe dia mentioned in my post. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

2 or 3 ponies is a lot less than the difference between dyno's too |

I've clearly had a pop at the pie solution too
I've bought this in an attempt to end my serial modifying
I usually run turbo Busa's and mainly at the drag strip,this is the first decent road bike I've hadin some time.Although the powers good I tested it on MSS Kawasakis dyno and just after a ZX6R racebike made 122bhp so it then seems a bit weak
Anyway I remember seeing pics of Oily's and after riding mine thought how f*** does he keep the wheel on the floor?
Anyway we're closing on three weeks now and that bike is crying out for my spare Motec dash.The big question is can I stop myself from fuel injecting it with a full Motec system?
I think you'd get better throttle response,as the throttle response test on the dyno showed a massive short fall there,and more power I'd wager 8bhp with GSXR1000 or Busa throttle bodies... |

get it modified
you know you want to
coming from the world of whizzy blow turbo things, keep your eyes peeled for turbo kit for an 1100 slingshot
I fancy having a go at this turbo malarky |

Blow through or Draw through?
I know someone with a 'project' Blow through GSXR1100 turbo on DTA that might be parted from it for not a lot of money. |

you've met my missus....If I sold the 6, I'd be safer doing a tour in Helmund
She loves riding that bike.
One day she'll wind me up enough for me to sell it in revenge |
