Fantastic, are you really going to race this.

Fantastic, are you really going to race this.

Going to try !

[Mossy68]

Well if you don't, it'll be me and Paul (db) , fighting over a ride !!!

[autofetish]

It should be interesting.

Most bikes you obviously lean but with this the key is to keep the bike 100% level due to ground affects.

The bike is due to be dynoed very soon and expecting around the 160hp range in this standard configuration.

The bike will be mapped with turbo size fuel injectors and all wiring is ready for turbo install plug and play.


500hp+

[adrianp]

So, let me get this right. I have 600hp+ to haul @2 tonne down the 1/4 mile and you're going for 500hp+ on something that looks like it weighs 3/8 of 4/5 of f**k all ?? That's going to be one fun ride, full credit to you.

Well done mate, it's the best feeling when they breath life for the first time

"Should be interesting" Understatement of the year

[autofetish]

Handel bars have been a pain in the arse as very little space and alot going on.

After lots of attempts it's had to be the gold one that fits

Amazing!!!

(Hope those leathers are washable, if you know what I mean )

[Dave81]

What kind of protection do you have form the front wheel (thinking failiure)??

[autofetish]

(Hope those leathers are washable, if you know what I mean )

Funny you say this as the suit is a custom made fitted suit (i was lucky got it off ebay cheap) Perfect Size
Its made from kangaroo leather with a Kevlar backing which is apparently as good as it gets

[autofetish]

What kind of protection do you have form the front wheel (thinking failiure)??

You raise a good point here. At the moment the plan is to get it running and drive around the gravel yard and see how we get on. Helmet ? Gum shield ?

Im trying to borrow a 3D laser scanner to get the bike in CAD future is then a possible 3D printed mold and carbon Kevlar body panel chest Pan thing.
Even thought about cutting the middle out the bike and bolting the front and rear to a full carbon Sled

Or even cut up a carbon Kevlar Olympic bobsled and put this over the top I have been looking into this and the size is perfect.

The issues is there is just so much going on up the front end.

Plonker here slipped and managed to take the head of the banjo bolt that connects the shock to the remote pressure reservoir.

Now I have no idea what pressure these run at but it shot 8 meters across the workshop. (dangerous be warned)

A costly mistake that required a full rebuild at the manufacturer. Note the fancy new banjo bolt

Mounted back on the bike ready to go

lambda Sensor

The Motec ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is pretty clever as can take a lambda Sensor input to Ethier adaptatively learn what is the correct fuel mixture (self learn) / Log the fuel mixture working within a range of your fuel map or even give a warning lights or shut down the bike down.

lambda fitted and working
