I am one of the ones that LOVES this stuff. Pretty cool to see how much more comfortable you have become with working on a bike, Chris. Everyone starts somewhere!
Really like watching all the upgrades go on, and great to see that you’re able to do a lot of it yourself too. Look forward to seeing what you think of them on track.
Love it Chris, I’d have preferred to see more of the fitting action but I understand only possible when Al’s not imbibing at Glasto! Loving this project, can’t wait to see it back on the track.
I agree, the more you do, the more comfy you get. I remember back in the day when I was scared shitless just to put a shim on rear shock to get some more height. Got to the point that I was able to tear new-to-me trackday project pretty damn far. Saves a lot of money and is very relaxing.
Top job Chris. These vids give bikers a good foundation of where buck for bang improvements can be made and a bit of mechanical knowledge. 44 Teeth channel has a great variety of content for everybody.
My dude, I love working on bikes. Next time you do an oil change, open the other plug on the drain pan so that you don't have the bubbling shooting oil everywhere. Also - pro tip push upward while unscrewing on the oil drain nut in order to keep oil from spewing all over your hand. Wait until the last thread and carefully pull it away quickly.
You are right about working on your own bike. Especially if it's an older one, you've got nothing to lose and you save a good chunk of change doing the work yourself.
I get the previous videos showing step-by-step modifications and how each one effects the performance on track. With this one that idea is blown out of the water by adding loads of mods without testing each one in turn. It's like skipping to the end of the project without looking at the impact of some of the most important mods, i.e. brakes and forks, etc.
that excalated quickly.... from budget upgrades to spending a fortune :D good to see ur having fun getting ur hands dirty and learning. as always its been a pleasure watching
A nice finishing touch for a track bike is the pillion cowling, to replace that goofy passenger seat. I’m sure you already know, Baron. Since you’re a cool kid… Bike’s coming along well nice. I did many of these same upgrades to my 2022 SC-77. They ain’t cheap, but they’re right. Carry on, mate. ✌🏼
I haven't had any bike since My Honda MT5 back when I was a teenager. Yet I still watch all of Your videos, after your channel appeard in My feed a few years ago. They are always entertaining to watch. Keep the videos coming! :)
Epic! Takes me back to doing my K6 Thou and upgrading it over a couple of summers. I learned so much, and now I'm not phased trying to try to do anything. plus the colour you have choice is absolutely bloody gorgeous!
Ffs, my 7 year old daughter just walks in as I am watching this at 2:53 and I have to try and get out of answering "daddy what's a soapy tit wank"? I know this channel swears sometimes but I didn't see that coming.
The build is coming out. Definitely change that battery and put a antigravity ATZ-7 it weighs in at 1.32lb and keep in mind that you are removing this weight from underneath your seat, which is at a high point on your bike. And some Vesrah SYJL XX brake pads
Love a build like this! Actually loved the whole series so far. Can't wait to see it and you at Mugello. I am there for the whole of September...it's my spiritual home :)
You won't need to go full race ECU. You can get the Woolich race tools flash on the stock ECU. 1:1 throttle map is a must as well as a tune since you removed the CAT. 👌
Great video Chris and you did very well on your own. Nothing better than doing all this type of work yourself to learn more about your bike. It's not quite as bad as you think it will be. Some bits are just time consuming rather than hard. Didn't miss Fagan and his Glasto-furrylovefest, hahahahaha. Can't wait to see the next instalment & the new colour.
I had a footpeg come off at 140kph in a turn because I hadn't locktite'd it. Aftermarket pegs for a superduke to replace the shit stock ones. That was fun.
God im so happy yall are working on an r1. It is my dream bike and some of these parts im looking at buying for my 23’ r1 as well so this is great to see what troubles your running into and what to expect.
Looks really smart but you could do with just a dab of blue or green Loctite on the rearsets and other bits. My mates sprocket studs undid themselves on his MT10 and caught the swing arm. There was no Loctite on the studs which simply screw in unlike Suzuki which have a retainer. The studs now have red Loctite on them. Yamaha were not interested. Keep an eye on them Chris...
Great video. I love bolting bits on I did my own road - track conversion on my S1000RR learned so much doing it. Only downside is I’m now significantly poorer 😂
Yeah, love this stuff and nothing better than learning about your own bike. Better that, than some apprentice being let loose on it. Bikes looking really slick already. 👌🏻😎👍🏻
That's a great video because working on the bike gets more parts as you save on labour costs and get to know the bike,, torque settings aswell ☘️🍀💚💚💚🍀 from northern Ireland

As a 2023 R1 owner; I love this series. Seeing what some people love and want to change and following the road to race route myself

Bit of advice for the oil change....open the 'other' cap on the oil pan, which gives the airlflow to stop that 'bubbling' and oil spraying everywhere.
Came here to comment this
Love this content mate, its great to see what parts are out and about. I had no idea there were lock stoppers for example. Cheers!
For the record: I love this video with DIY stuff! You are not spending too much time on each part so it is quite satisfying to watch :)
Good work Chris. Satisfying to be getting things done on your own . You got this !
Pawlak
Mark me down as another one who LOVES these videos. Great content Chris! So good to see the bike coming together, doing an amazing job with it
I absolutely love following this series, seeing the bike change and grow into an absolute beast
Great video, genuinely interesting watching you work on your own bikes, we all love a bit of JHS but this was a treat
Nothing boring about this content! Love it! Some really sweet mods going on to the R1.
The bike is looking gorgeous Chris, and bravo you for giving it a go yourself. 🤓👏
Top job Chris. These vids give bikers a good foundation of where buck for bang improvements can be made and a bit of mechanical knowledge. 44 Teeth channel has a great variety of content for everybody.
That's like the best Christmas morning ever opening all those goodies. Good to see you using the spanners more!
Great stuff, like the nod to the 06 R1 sp with that colour scheme.
Really enjoy these vids, all part of the experience of owning a bike, riding it, working on it or just sitting and admiring it.

This is cool Chris, love watching these upgrades and your learning along the way!
Love the blue! Looking awesome.
Top work sir. Not going to lie, that satin blue look on the bike is bringing on a mild semi.
You are right about working on your own bike. Especially if it's an older one, you've got nothing to lose and you save a good chunk of change doing the work yourself.
That wrap is exemplarity lovely. Thanks for giving me an idea to fix some horrible dodgy pain on an F800.
The gold fork legs look amazing on the bike, was half expecting the wrap to get the usual loud 44Teeth treatment though. =)

Bike’s coming along well nice.

They ain’t cheap, but they’re right.
Carry on, mate.
✌🏼
Really enjoy this tinkering style of content! Good colour choice with that wrap!
I love these type videos. I do all my own work to my 2018 BMW S1000R. So it helps seeing how things get done.😊
Love watching the fitting of all the parts ! Keep it coming !
I wasnt expecting all of that. That's a lot of stuff, and a lot of work we'd all think was done by fairies until you showed us.
Stunning bike.
Best content on youtube! I'm so excited to see this go round the track
Every detail on this bike is beautiful.
I haven't had any bike since My Honda MT5 back when I was a teenager. Yet I still watch all of Your videos, after your channel appeard in My feed a few years ago. They are always entertaining to watch. Keep the videos coming! :)
I loved the video! More of this!
Thanks Cris!
And cheers from Brasil!
Love watching this sort of stuff!
wow... its like the best Christmas morning ever.
Great series lads always looking forward to the next one
The new color locks sooo sick! Can wait for the next track video.
I find these types of videos very satisfying to watch and that is one hell of a sexy bike ! Thanks for making my day 👍👍
The colour is awesome!
I mean this is awesome.. love it... very relaxing and informative as well i gotta say .... keep up the great work ....
Awesome Vid, great parts! I can't wait wait to see it when it all comes together.
Epic! Takes me back to doing my K6 Thou and upgrading it over a couple of summers. I learned so much, and now I'm not phased trying to try to do anything. plus the colour you have choice is absolutely bloody gorgeous!
Great watch .. Chris is man with spanner, Chris will build awesome track bike , Chris will spend a fortune... looking class 👌
Can’t wait to see the install for the quick change underslung rear wheel system
Always nicer working on a new bike than a 20 year old bike with seized nuts and bolts! 😂
normally I could watch a video like this for hours.. really cool Baron :D
Loved this video and seeing the progress of the R1.
Ffs, my 7 year old daughter just walks in as I am watching this at 2:53 and I have to try and get out of answering "daddy what's a soapy tit wank"? I know this channel swears sometimes but I didn't see that coming.
Amazing to see how much your riding and wrenching has progressed in such a short time. Love this type of video!
Love it. Fairings looking awesome, would have loved to see how the wrap job, how the foil edge ends on the inside.
Somecloverly sexy bit going on the bike, good man for having a go yourself it’s the best way to learn your bike.
Loved it! Thanks for uploading. My next addition to the garage is an R1M so very interested in this series :)
Great vid. Good to see you doing stuff yourself and learning.
Bike looks epic with the added blue. Loved the video❤
The build is coming out. Definitely change that battery and put a antigravity ATZ-7 it weighs in at 1.32lb and keep in mind that you are removing this weight from underneath your seat, which is at a high point on your bike. And some Vesrah SYJL XX brake pads
Love this stuff more than the riding!
Bloody hell Chris, I'm well impressed with the spannering skills!
More of these please. Loved it 👍
Love these videos, so many cool bits! It's great seeing the progress of the build
Fair play lad, fair hustled that bike around. Sounds epic too!
Great Video Chris, wrap looks mega! geek us up with gearing changes from stock sound interesting mate
Great video. Nice that you combined a few days work into one vid.
Love a build like this! Actually loved the whole series so far. Can't wait to see it and you at Mugello. I am there for the whole of September...it's my spiritual home :)
That was fun dude! A whole lotta blingity bling 😊
Finally a really decent R1 project and not another “full carbon build” etc… awesome work sir!
You won't need to go full race ECU. You can get the Woolich race tools flash on the stock ECU. 1:1 throttle map is a must as well as a tune since you removed the CAT. 👌
This stuff is fantastic, can’t ride at the moment and I get to vicariously experience what I would be doing rn if I were able!
We love this stuff ❤❤❤❤ maybe one of ur best videos so far
Good stuff Chris, nice to see you get stuck in.
Would like to see a breakdown of the budget showing what Stage-1 set you back in Spain and what Stage-2 cost to get you to Mugello
Thank you guys for the inspiration.
Great video Chris and you did very well on your own. Nothing better than doing all this type of work yourself to learn more about your bike. It's not quite as bad as you think it will be. Some bits are just time consuming rather than hard. Didn't miss Fagan and his Glasto-furrylovefest, hahahahaha.

Great video , im doing a lot of these mods to my 2022 R1 and this is definitely helpful thanks
Great job Baron, well done.
That blue looks great!
What a video - well done Chris. That bikes lookin the nuts. X
Awesome video, keep the nerdy mody vids coming!!!
I love a good bike build and you guys of course. 👍👍

Very nice progress, really great mods. The R1 is going to be awesome!
Love these vids. Bike looks sick. Looking forward to the grand reveal 🥴
That’s a cool bike collection Sue
Impressive doing the diy work, holding the camera whilst your compardre shoots up in a field, in Gloucestershire.
Yessss. This is the content.
Love this style of video as well
Great video. I love bolting bits on I did my own road - track conversion on my S1000RR learned so much doing it. Only downside is I’m now significantly poorer 😂
Love this stuff
🏴 love from Scotland 🏴
Sweet …great vid…can’t wait to hear it in Italy.
Love these videos. More please!
The new color looks amazin!
Yeah, love this stuff and nothing better than learning about your own bike. Better that, than some apprentice being let loose on it. Bikes looking really slick already. 👌🏻😎👍🏻
Looked on your merch site, can’t find the reservoir sock??
That's a great video because working on the bike gets more parts as you save on labour costs and get to know the bike,, torque settings aswell ☘️🍀💚💚💚🍀 from northern Ireland
Great Video, I love the upgrades and the colour.
Luv bike builds Chris!
