Stewart Rydman has reported the following problem fitting an ARD Race body kit to his 2000 CBR992RR Fireblade. When the fitting the lower fairing, which contains the regulation oil catch tank on ARD Race fairings, there was insufficient clearance around the exhaust valve hardware. In order to make an acceptable fit, Stewart needed to cut a hole in the lower left panel. This obviously results in loss of the oil catch tank facility, which is not acceptable on a race bike. We have sold and fitted many of these fairings in the U.K. without this problem, so we assume it is caused by differences between U.K. and U.S.A. spec machines. As we are obviously concerned about it, we are working with Stewart to find the exact cause of the problem. We will then make any necessary mods to our moulds. It is anticipated that all future Fireblade race kits will incorporate any necessary mods. STOP PRESS!!We now have the answer to this problem.... It turns out that Stuart had used a non-standard
exhaust mounting bracket. |
