Kamikaze

Yeah i read all that, i have all the parts and will be testing a few different versions of baskets nxt year.

yeah thats also possible, could make some nice scoops on the side covers to let air in and disguise the whole thing

Thankyou all for the info, i have gathered what i need to try a few alternatives.... we'll see which works best for nxt years track season

Awesome....i need to do this mod, sick of having to programme the gear indicator every time i change something.

Awesome mate....shes looking good.

Fantastic work Jason, the 400 is looking great. nice to see them coming together.....looking forward to nxt years track action. Like yourself i can only ride in summer as well....too much snow on the ground atm.

Regardless of which front you go with, generally the newer the model forks the more weight you will save, but keep in mind the real weight saving comes from wheels, titanium exhaust replacement, and alloy tank. Removal of any steel brackets (like the rear subframe tailight mounts and number plate holder, front fairing mount to alloy) battery is another good weight saving if u go lithium. I got my roadbike 750M down to 200kg with fuel but still kept my heavy glass M headlight, and i could of gone lower with better wheels, alternate headlight but unless you go full on like JonnyBump, 190-200kg is where its at. This is pretty much where the current superbike road bikes are atm. the current minimum WSBK weight limit is 168kg and 80kg for the rider My 1216 RK (750 frame) replica race bike is down to 181kg wet. and will hopefully drop a few more kg's with newer forks and slipper clutch. But this thing is on the limit of weight saving, 178kg is predicted after the mods. with 1.5kg saving from the forks and another 1.5kg from clutch. But if u want maximum savings for the street u need to consider carbon fibre and titanium also. its a deep rabbit hole and whose who go down it can get obsessed sometimes.....my 2 cents

the main oil Lines from crankcase to secondary cooler are dash -8AN I ran a setrab proline 6 series 16row cooler, cost bout 90 quid, plus another 100 quid for lines, connections, clips swivel banjo joints (sold by torques specifically for setrab coolers) I changed the entire oil line system, so you can prob get away with it alittle cheaper If u run anything bigger than dash -6AN fittings on the cam feed you might find it alittle tight between the inlet boots, after that you can get a dash -6AN Y piece connector to dash -8AN. If you decide to run the lines over the cam cover you might have trouble with clearance with fuel tap and fuel lines another thing to consider is the alternator. My set up looks symmetrical cause I don’t have an alternator. U might have to extended the right side cam line longer to clear the alternator

Personally its depends on its purpose, i cant give u stats or figures concerning flow rate but from experience it makes a huge difference and like the boys have said, its needs air flow. I blew up my 750 racebike at Bruno circuit in the peak of summer, she read 122ºc before she let go, running a standard 750 M cooler with no secondary cooler and tuned with a comp ratio of 12:5.1, I learnt the hard way but now with a secondary cooler she wont even hit 95º i know my road bike hits 105º occasionaly in summer in heavy traffic but im not racing her thru the streets and there is no need for a second cooler.

and poooof just like that, he disappeared into the abyss.....

What a drama, yeah life gets in the way sometimes but WOW what a beauty. Shes going to turn out great, nice to see something different. Some quality parts there especially the suspension. Maxton is a great bit of kit Hey Dunc can u make me some spacers please, i only need 5000....

Awesome work.....luv the new workshop.

So pissed i cant make it, was planning on coming over to the UK but work got in the way. Sounds great, would of been great to put faces to names and see all the OSS builds.

might have one for you. bought it from japan. £150, its not alot cheaper but its new and never used....ill grab some pics soon.
