Great list of mods, both performance and aesthetic. Tastefully styled, do you still have the RC8r would love to know how it has held up after 6ish years of ownership
Yo bro, u still owned it ? Bcs i really have the chance to buy one of those unicorns. And how is his behavior after so many years? Would love to know if im doing the right buy !
You pretty much got all of it. It could use some nice rearsets i think. I got mine from LSL. Also a black tankcap would be nice. The one i have is from CNC Racing and has some carbon in it, looks great. Good to see you raised the subframe btw.
how do you rate the pro bolt kit?? Did you have to adjust torque settings on the engine bolts??? I have been gradually changing my pinch bolts, handle bars etc for stainless and was considering the pro bolt kit next.
To be honest i put ll the bolts on SUPER tight mainly because of the vibrations since its a v twin. I snapped on in the frame which i did get out so id say the tolerances are not as high. They did look thinner than the OEM but seemed to fit and grip absolutely fine.
Great video and lovely bike mate....sold my akra RC8R last year. I had the Evo 4 modified to Evo 6 spec....sounded incredible!! One of the nicest bikes ever made....really miss mine. How did yours compare to the 1290 sdr? .....subscribed
love it mate. mine is 7 months old (got the last new one in the UK) and still under warranty, when time comes, is the power difference worth the cost of the akra/pc5 ? Its a very expensive mod thats all.
Very nice rc8r! never seen so much carbon on it. I just made a walkaround of my 2012 rc8r. I don't have the exact same bike but they are pretty similar with all our mods! ua-cam.com/video/jo_hDoAwxKU/v-deo.html
Amazing do you still have it?
Just got mine few days ago.
could you please let me know where you get your parts from?
Or list it in your description
good job my friend... you got some really nice bits on there. those front levers are to die for
I just purchased a 2012 RC8R, i can’t wait to start working on my bike. Where is the best place to purchase aftermarket parts for it?
ebay, powerparts, beg borrow steal!
I am surprised you didn't mention they have super expensive forged wheels which the none R does not ..
Marchesinis

Hi mate. still have it. Been on tracks days in UK and Portugal on it. Absolutely faultless! Done even more customisations since.
The seat on rc8 looks well low, gotta say not seen one in person yet but seat looks uncomfortable for a tall rider
subframe is height adjustable
Damn that bike is siiick
Gorgeous man.. Definitely working towards mine. Have a son on the way, so going to be longer than I thought. Cheers.
thanks mate
Absolutely stunning that bike nice job

Yeah i wouldnt mind some CNC ones. The racing tank cap is next.
do you mean raising the seat? i have mine on lower setting is higher better?
CNC Rear Sets, adjusting the seat is more about rider height
bloody beautiful!
very very tempted to get one of these..
they are amazing
Are you selling it

I would love an Akra RC8. The 1290 is completely different. Probably just because if the riding position.
What a machine...

PCV absolutely. Exhaust, if you got money go akra, if not the Jester68 System. Brilliant bit of kit
Very well done!!!
Best mod I done is flipping the chain adjustor blocks and shortening the wheelbase ,turns like nothing else!!
Ive seen this bike on the RC8 facebook page i think haha
If you’re ever selling it let me know haha
Respect
nice bike bruh
haha thanks!
so basically you rebuilt it and nothing is actually standard lmao
