Grove Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 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 5 Quote Link to comment
Grove Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Still waiting on the engine and bits so progress has been slow. Edited August 31, 2023 by Grove Update Quote Link to comment

Out of curiosity, how are they going to get perfect fitment with the bike and motor in your garage? 1 Quote Link to comment

He’s got another frame and engine in his workshop 3 Quote Link to comment

SiBag Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Blandit 12 doesn't have the idea gear. So possibly blandit with dot 750 head. Quote Link to comment

Grove Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 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 4 Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Wise move having the engine checked/rebuilt by someone you trust hopefully it'll be fine and it'll "only" cost you labour and a gasket set, but the peace of mind is priceless ,tis a good looking piece of kit 1 Quote Link to comment
LLD Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Very nice project ! I saw that there was one frame kit for sale.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Got bits being made at the moment and should be with me next weekend so updated photos on the way 6 Quote Link to comment
busa ash Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice to see a martek has been made and received. Looking great so far , your plans are sounding spot on . I will be watching this build 1 Quote Link to comment
Tony Nitrous Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 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. Quote Link to comment
