Hey guys!
So after we got the subframe 90% installed and were about to attach the rear seat cowl we realized there was no bracket to hold the cowl in place...
I contacted Mani and he said these are actually built to be used with a mono-carbon top tail piece and not with the factory pi...

Hey guys!
So we finally have the carbon rear subframe prepped enough and the brake lines installed so that we can put the subframe on the bike!
This turned out to be much more work than expected and unfortunately we still aren't finished with the subframe install BUT we made a ton of ...

Hey guys!
While we had the subframe off we decided it was the perfect time to install some of our carbon fiber brake lines! This is something we've never done before and these things are super trick!
The rear hoses we replaced were literally rubber so I know these are going to m...

Hey guys!
We are finally back to work! Dado was out of town all week on vacation so we weren't able to film until this morning. It actually worked out as we were waiting for this piece which is soooo much better than the plastic piece we originally had.

Hey guys!

Hey guys!
We are about to enter an intense part of this build. We are starting with replacing our rear stock subframe with a carbon race subframe which I've never seen done before. We will then be upgrading the entire brake setup including doing carbon braided brake lines. ...

Hey guys!
First off I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial weekend! In this video we added a bunch of super cool carbon parts that literally transformed the bike just as much as the previous video.

Hey guys!
In this episode we installed a set of carbon frame covers along with a carbon side fairing piece that goes with the frame covers. I'll be honest I'm not always a huge fan of frame covers but these fit really well and greatly enhance the look of the bike.
They will also...

Finally had a chance to get out on the R1M and the Panigale V2 and it was a lot of fun. It's great to have two different bikes to ride because it really helps showcase the differences between them.
After getting off the V2 the freaking R1M felt like a damn rocketship. ...

In this episode we installed a prototype carbon belly for the R1M and it looks absolutely incredible! I really like how it fills in the space left from removing the massive stock exhaust and muffler. It gives the bike more of a race bike feel and i love it.

Had a chance to put our R1M on the dyno this weekend and it made some massive gains! In stock form it did 165hp and after the bren flash, akra full system and sprint filter it made 185hp!

We took the beast out to see how it feels with the bren flash and OH MY GOD its literally night and day difference. I thought going from stock exhaust to akra was big but this honestly feels just as big of a jump that's how good it is.

We got the bren flash installed and the bike feels AMAZING! The start up feels great and when you rev the bike it spins up INSTANTLY. The bike still shoots massive flames as well which makes me super excited.

Needless to say I'm super excited for this because the next episode we can finally install the akra full titanium exhaust!!!

Finally had a chance to get the R1M onto the dyno. It ended up making 168 hp in stock form which is a very solid number. It's rated at 195 hp from factory so factoring in 12% drivetrain loss puts it around 170 hp so we are right where we should be.
