I just got mine yesterday, Will have it installed within a day or two. It looks good out of the box. We'll see if it changes handling much over the course of a few weeks.

Did you receive any instructions with that? Meaning - is it a simple Bolt On w existing Mounts, or does it come w any special buffers? (I wont even ask cost like most)

Yes, it came with mounting washers and instructions - although the instructions pertained mostly to potential mounting problems with ISF and none with RCF.

No special buffers recommended or received in the box, so pretty much a bolt on.

Cost is no secret as it can be obtained directly on the RR website.
https://www.rr-racing.com/default.asp

The bar is $449.
The blue chrome color was an extra $40 and the carbon fiber laminate was $68
Total was $558 plus shipping

There was no such information about removing the nuts and re-torque info as its all pretty straightforward...

The bar was well packaged and protected and took about 2 weeks to get from date of order.

Yes, ordered on 4/26. Received on 5/13 - so 18 days from date of purchase to delivery

If they have them in stock I'd think it would get to you sooner than 14 days? I noticed it doesn't specify Model Years - so I assume its for ALL RC-Fs correct? What Year and Color is your F ? - Blue would be my choice to match my USB, but they only put carbon in those spaces on it-not the whole thing Carbon colored? My car will never hit a track so it would be an aesthetic mod in my case. Curious if it makes the ride any stiffer, or changes the feel of your front wheels / steering?

*Special Request:...You ok doing Step-By-Step Mounting Post with Pics for the rest of us? I'm anxious to learn exactly how its installed w those washers, etc. Something tells me this may even be a two person job at some point when trying to get both ends socked down evenly - that torque spec would be advantageous too!

Yes, it would fit all RCF's. Mine is Ultra White, 2015.

I'm having a local shop install, so can't help you on the step by step, but its likely 10 nuts to remove, so wouldn't be terribly difficult.

Doesn't seem that blue matches the hue of the intake. The "Blue Chrome" is close. The RCF Facebook Group is raving about this mod and a Member there is going to do a Step-By-Step---which you are correct, is appears only to be two bolts. I'll be adding this to my list after the New Wheels & Tires arrive!

Somebody really needs step by step instructions? For a brace? Really?

Oh that's kind of you.
You guys know the steps on changing the Triple Clamp, Forks, Swingarm or rear wheel on a Ducati perhaps?
I'd expect better from you two. Thanks so much. Out.........

Yup. I've built bikes from bare frames more than once.

Can you stick a ball mill in a port and actually improve flow? I can...

There ya go Lobux! Wasnt really directing those questions to you per se. I see one Member deleted their opinion of me from the two I was directing my response to. It's all good. Post me some pics of your favored bike of choice - at least I wont need step by step directions on how to view them!

Default Intalled pics

At this point we're getting to be a rolling RR Racing advert..

Also installed the CF intake cover, and I already had the RR Intake tube, RR AOS and EL headers (installed at RR), RR USRS, RR engine mounts, Borla exhaust / CF tips, RR engine mounts and RR ECU Tune.
