Finally managed to get a pic of new exhaust shield. Typical thou, the bleedin sun went in and the full pic doesnt show it off so good.
oh well..

Very nice indeed, your bike is immaculate

[Andy J]

very nice indeed 

[jpaterson69]

That looks really nice Drew.
Are you happy with the quality mate.
Wonder if they will make the rest of the bellypan eventually. I dont see any other companies doing that rear part or the bellypan.

Looks like a quality bit of kit, really goes well with tha carbon Racefit. 

Now go & find out if they do a hugger & replace that hideous oversized lump of plastic that the factory saw fit to stick on !   

[NinjaPaul]

Yes KingCarbon do a hugger for the 08 ZX10R but its only a direct copy of the standard one.

As a few of the guys on here know jim who owns kingcarbon has become a good mate of mine and has done a couple of trackdays with me and jay(EXJ10R),i've just rang him and told him theres a few people asking about the bellypan for the 08 in carbon,well guess what he said he'll use mine to get the mould from and make them in carbon,these will take a few weeks to sort out but they will be doing them,just in case anyone dos'nt know they are now doing the front mudgard for the 08 and i've fitted one on mine and they look really nice,if anyone wants anything from them just pm me because he said he will give me good discount for people i know

[drewk8]

quality is top spot mate.. as for hugger, i want a green one.. might try painting mine first..
let you know

Lovely stuff. 

Pleasure to look at +bhp

Does the Growler really need the upper hanger bracket?

[jpaterson69]

Fast,
Thanks for the heads up on Jim looking at doing the belly pan. What a service !!, there is no one doing a belly pan for 08 or that rear part.
r1ninja, yip in my opinon it needs the upper hanger mate, the rear belly pan cosmetic cover is just bolted onto tag welds on the growler pipe, the growler pipe is pure slipon to the oem pipe, a sleeve fitting, no compression banjo fitting, just a bit of silicon sealant and slipped over, the fitting it made to measure!!. There is a tension spring from the pipe onto metal U fitting that goes onto a bolt already there from when original boom box was there, so that holds tension on the fitting, stop it sliding off. Even thought the growler can and link pipe are only about 850 gms, still think a bit dodgy to do without upper clamp. Not an Engineer though!.

my sheild brkts have never been spot on ,on the growler.. i have tried bending them into a better fit and was ok with orig shield but way off with new carbon one. luckily i know a s##t hot welder who re welded the brkt near the rear wheel back on for me and as im a polisher you wouldnt even know it had been moved so it is now spot on...

Be nice to know if he can do a longer belly pan for the 06/07. I want one that runs back to the rear tyre like the 04/05 race belly pan does and comes up around the swingarm like the GP bikes.

actually there's a company called PIT-ECK in America that trade on ebay, they do a host of carbon parts for the 08 bike but the quality doesnt look as good as the King Carbon stuff.

[jpaterson69]

Drew,
My rear panel went on, spot on with the growler not adjustment required.
Its a bit worrying that the KC panel required re-welding of the rear bracket on the growler pipe, thats a bit offputting. why wouldnt the holes be in the same place in the mould as the originals!!.
Hammy, I can't see KC doing a re-design full belly pan, yeah it's a great idea to have a similar one to the one I had on my 05, a full enclosed race type with lowered sump, that looked really evil.
