Shift Shaft Support & Sprocket Cover – Honda CBR1000RR-R / SP (2020–Present)

Greater Shifting Precision, Integrated Protection, Racing Functionality

The CBE Factory Shift Shaft Support and Sprocket Cover for the Honda CBR1000RR-R and CBR1000RR-R SP is engineered to improve shift shaft stability, enhance gear selection precision, and simplify drivetrain maintenance through an integrated, lightweight design.

During aggressive riding and track use, repeated gear changes place significant loads on the shift control mechanism. The additional shaft support helps reduce unwanted movement and flex, allowing rider input to be transmitted more directly to the gear selection system.

The result is a more consistent mechanical feel and greater precision during gear changes, particularly when shifting speed and repeatability are essential.

By combining shaft support and sprocket protection in a single assembly, CBE Factory delivers a compact, functional solution designed around the demands of performance riding.

Four-Point Mounting Structure

The support features a four-point mounting configuration, creating a stable structure around the shift shaft area.

Its geometry is designed to distribute loads across the mounting points while maintaining an efficient balance between structural rigidity and weight.

By helping limit shaft flex during gear changes, the system supports more consistent transmission of movement from the shift lever to the gear selection mechanism.

The structure also provides additional support around the shift lever area, helping reduce the risk of impact forces being transferred directly to the shift shaft in the event of a fall.

SKF Double-Shielded Bearing

At the shaft support point, the system incorporates a double-shielded SKF bearing, selected to provide stable shaft guidance while maintaining smooth rotational movement.

The bearing supports the end of the shift shaft while allowing it to move freely during gear selection. Its double-shielded construction helps limit the ingress of dust, dirt, and other contaminants.

This attention to detail reflects the CBE Factory engineering philosophy: precision and reliability depend on every component, including those that are less visible.

Integrated Shift Shaft Support & Sprocket Cover

The system combines two essential functions in one component:

• Shift shaft support for improved stability.
• Integrated sprocket cover for protection and a clean installation.

This multifunctional design reduces the need for separate components, helping maintain a compact, lightweight, and organised drivetrain area.

The structure also incorporates provisions for the correct routing and management of cables and connectors around the mounting area, supporting a neat and functional installation.

Two-Piece Design for Easier Maintenance

Designed with practical workshop use in mind, the support features a two-piece construction that simplifies access to the sprocket area.

The separable design makes routine cleaning, drivetrain inspection, and sprocket replacement easier without requiring the entire support assembly to be dismantled.

This is particularly valuable for track-focused motorcycles, where frequent final-drive inspections and maintenance are part of regular preparation.

The result is a system that combines structural support and protection without compromising everyday servicing practicality.

CNC-Machined 6082 Aluminium

Manufactured entirely from 6082 aluminium alloy billet, the support is precision-machined using CNC technology to achieve accurate dimensions, carefully controlled mounting interfaces, and a high-quality finish.

The component's geometry is developed to retain material where structural strength is required while reducing unnecessary mass in less critical areas.

After machining, the part receives a 20-micron black anodised finish, providing surface protection and a refined racing-inspired appearance.

Particular attention is given to the bearing housing, mounting points, and mating surfaces to support precise assembly and reliable fitment.

Plug & Play Installation

Developed specifically for the Honda CBR1000RR-R and CBR1000RR-R SP from model year 2020 onwards, the system is designed for Plug & Play installation without permanent modifications to the motorcycle.

The package includes the necessary mounting hardware, spacers, and components for appropriate cable and connector management around the sprocket area.

This integrated approach simplifies installation while ensuring the support and cover work together as a complete system.
