[KreativeKreature]

For those folks that do not ride during the winter months, are you ready for spring ? Approximately a month to go to get everything tuned up & ready to fly.

Do you or have you made any special plans to travel somewhere, do a road trip, try the race track and would like to share some details of some good twisties, roads, adventures planned etc hmm

I will be going for a bike show this weekend - Motorcycle Shows – Toronto

thinking of getting a non-perforated jacket for this coming winter

Also thinking of Nitron R2, and MCCruise..

wow! since when does a Honda CB1000RR feature an Akrapovic exhaust system? not even the SP, I think? so, a local dealer 'up-selling'?

( on delving deeper, I see this is the RR-R... and/or maybe the 30th anniversary edition of the Fireblade.... the dash after the second R represents the quick shifter in operation, I guess... )

BTW, here's a fun sound comparison to stock:

Every year of the SC82 has OEM Akrapovič

I used a decibel meter & still could not see or hear any difference in sound . It def is a FUN comparison sound to listen.

Ohlins would be nice too, but distribution of them here is terrible.
At least the distributor of Nitron is an actual shop you can buy from and call with questions

Honda CB1000R from 2018 to 2020 Cruise Control [Throttle-By-Wire]

Save your wrist, fuel and licence with McCruise

www.mccruise.com

I'm not convinced either way on the switches yet (Hence not ordered)

Would be nice to find an OEM switch block with cruise, that fits..
the 2020 Africa Twin RHS switchblock is a potential candidate, if it works with CB throttle, but it might hang too low and hit the tank

@Ghostrider.1127 Do you care to give your expert opinion on cruise control

 

[wangyifirst625]

I am think to get Nitro as well, right now hesitate between R1 and R2, any thought?

But more important, I want to get the bike tuned since Woolich has released the software. My full exhaust is ready, AK header + SC CRT... lol

R1 adjustments are fixed to both ends of the shocks & can be hard to get to if requiring to adjust the settings ( Also note that you do not change the settings often, once you have got it right, for the street or track condition where most of the riding will be done )
vs
R2 has more flexibility at adjustments reach & also can be adjustment at each end individually. Nitron can tell you if you need additional tube if the additional fluid reservoir is a tight fit for different bike models. Also tuning and adjustment is very easy when required for different road conditions & can be adjusted on the fly without the need of tools.
Refer to this video here

Its nice to have the Woolichracing ECU for your model here

As for the headers I am not sure to go with a ARK or SC-P, as I already have a black titanium SC-Project SC-GP can.
I was thinking of SC Header here -

 

[wangyifirst625]

Thx man for explanation. basically, easy-adjustable is the only benefit compare R1 and R2. All mechanic features share from R1 to R3. I am just regular day-by-day riding, R1 should be good. SC header is Tatanium which looks better, but I perfer AK since I want it to have black painted to look same as OEM color.

R1 is single tube with gas, R2 has external reservoir with more oil and gas as well as separating compression and rebound adjustment

MCCruise slim switch under might work... need to get dimensions and print some switch mockups

Cb1000r DCT with CC ? wait a minute...
maybe using a unit froma NOT DCT bike will be better.....

That switch hang lower/hit tank?
Would fit CB TBW inside?

Any other suggestions? (Apart from buy another bike with CC )

Of course DCT switches would not be connected, just the CC to connect to MCCruise

Ideally could find a compact blade toggle switch with mom-off-mom and IP65-ish, and just print a housing in polycarbonate...

Must use a complete new wiring , clearance issue can be solved rotating the handlebar 3/4 degrees in drive direction.

way off topic now but...
only partial new wiring (wiring is easy). rotation would work but look weird, and still RH activation.
Will try to find a non-DCT Africa to measure, may be able to just use the switches for transplant.

Suspect will end up easier/neater to swap out the hazard and torque control switch on LHS block.
There is semi-decent real estate inside. could potentially even graft in aanother "select" switch as the acc/dec momentary..

A bit surprised that neither switch block or switches inside have any weather protection at all.
The highbeam switch has fully exposed contacts..

also, 2019 DCT africa has 3 momentaty on RHS blockthat could also work (still the issue of RHS control)

 

[Ghostrider.1127]

i have both version of AT1100 , can measure for you.
