[And so it begins]

Hi mate.

just seen your frame very nice 

I’ve got a Martek pikes peak that I’m building, my first build. Hopefully picking the engine and a few other parts from mark on Saturday.

might need to pick your brains and ask for help at some point if you don’t mind.

cheers

I love it ! …. and I’m more than a little envious.

So it’s a totally brand new frame ? Built in the style / as a tribute / on the same theme,  as the 2 frames that were modded 750W frames to take oil cooled motors ?  

Very drool worthy. 

 

Hi mate. Yes it’s a brand new frame built by the same lad who built guy’s frame.

It in the style of guys and going to do a bit of a tribute but with a few of my own twists on it.

cant wait to crack on with it

Welcome to OSS....nice project build, i think this is the second Martek Pike peak bike build we have had.,  but i might be mistaken. looking forward to seeing this progress.

Have you got a design plan for it..?

Cheers buddy.

ive got a few ideas what im doing with it. Going to get it on the road with a 1216 gsxr engine then when funds allow get a turbo fitted.

Got bits being made at the moment and should be with me next weekend so updated photos on the way

You could mount this on your mantle piece and just look at the engineering involved in making this. Tis a Beauty

I’ve got one sitting in my workshop at home 

[Martek pikes peak]

Morning all.

few new bits for the Martek. 
the engine has gone away to be vapour blasted and rebuilt, it should be back in a couple of weeks with the exhaust, oil cooler and most of the other parts. Getting there slowly

I think there's a few on here that understand what a 'DOT' engine is !!

Im not 100% so any help and advice would be really appreciated

Who’s making the pipe?

Out of curiosity, how are they going to get perfect fitment with the bike and motor in your garage?

Mark who built the frame is going to make the pipe. He’s got another frame and engine in his workshop

[Martek pikes peak]

the engine is here  tuned gsxr1100 engine, dot engine if that means anything to anyone. Few more bits to get then hopefully start assembling it all. Having a full titanium exhaust with MotoGP style can currently made 

[Subframe]

Where’s the best place to get rear subframes made, I’d like mine about 2 inches higher at the rear to lift the rear of the seat a bit

[Martek pikes peak]

Still waiting on the engine and bits so progress has been slow. 

[Martek pikes peak]

Morning all. Bit of a update on the Martek, it’s now sitting on its own suspension  I’ve fitted a ohlins ttx rear shock. The seat unit is sitting on the bike, just moving it until I find a rear height that I’m happy with and suits the bike. Have a great weekend all 

[Spondon Turbo back to the 90s build]

Wow, that is amazing, the turbo under the seat is fantastic and helps keep the lines of the bike clean and shows the frame 

[Now for something completely different: UPSSR GSX-R750]

I like that 

[Rear brake]

Cheers buddy, j hadn’t seen them, that’s just made my life easier 

[Martek pikes peak]

I’ve just brought a tuned and rebuilt 1100 engine with carbs and cdi, also managed to get a full wiring loom, going to pick it up next Friday can’t wait to make a bit of progress on the bike 

[Rear brake]

Hi all. I’m looking for some advice on what rear brake master cylinder and brake switch to use on my build. I’ve got race rearsets and a custom billet caliper.

cheers paul

Who made the tank? I reallly like the cable tunnel thingies welded into the frame. A quirky detail like you'd see on a (very trick) bike from the 60s/70s .

It was made by mark at mk motorsport, they made the frame too

[Martek pikes peak]

It now has controls  well sort of. Plus a few more photos

Hi man, look forward to seeing what you do with it. Is it done yet . 

I wish it was lol. Going to be a while, need to get loads of parts yet. Told the misses it would take a couple of years, I have no patience so I think that she knows that’s a lie

[Martek pikes peak]

Cheers Digs.

id prefer not to strip a complete bike down if I could help it as only really want most of the parts that you have stated above to get it on the road, most bits will be upgraded and changed as time goes on.

Hoping to have a turbo engine in it eventually

[Martek pikes peak]

Thanks for the welcome. Always wanted one and thought not a bad place to start for my first project. Just got to find a donor bike and all the parts that I haven’t thought about yet

[Martek pikes peak]

Hi all, new to the group.

I’ve recently brought a mk motorsport Martek pikes peak frame. Lovely build quality. Currently running a r6 front end and rear wheel. Looking for a gsxr1100 donor bike.
