I'm told King Carbon make the Harris version of the "Yoshi" fairing. It's a bit better proportioned to my eyes. It' quite a bit more expensive though. 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 I've been pondering what direction to go with the development of this bike. I've been looking at some of the classic classes, the endurance legends really appeals. The bike is basically legal for the superbike class except the 6 pot calipers and the crank cases.. Regs say you must use the earlier 1052 cases, not the 1127 cases i've got. Fortunately a sensibly priced complete 1052 motor appeared for an hour on Eblag last weekend. I picked it up the following day. A bit of wheeling and dealing with the folk on here and elsewhere, and I have the parts to build this into a 1166cc a nicley ported head and reground cams and set of rs40 flatslides. This will be built up later in the year and go in the chassis next winter. 3 Quote

Markz9 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 the new fairing look good Duncan but you have only showed a couple of engines what all the other ones you have dotted around Quote

You can all so see the corner of my mock up engine. You know what we were saying about having too many projects.... Quote
Markz9 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Oops I don’t know what I was thinking you definitely cannot have enough spare engines fired up big Bertha yesterday I am amazed by that battery 1 Quote

I have to confess Martin, the engine covers aren't yours. they're a used set that appeared on Eblag a couple of weeks ago with a buy iy now that I couldn't resist. I think they were listed for 32 minutes... The frame isn't a 750rr, but a 750k with a RGV 250 vj21 subframe wedged on. I'm glad it looks convincing. Quote

Hi yes it’s on the ignitech receipt you left at mine I will get it off tonight cheers Quote
dupersunc Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 Got a little bit done on mk2 today. Modified rgv250 subframe welded on And gsxr400 tank trimmed to fit. Quote
dupersunc Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 A big pile of bits is appearing in the workshop, new bearings for wheels and head stock, fork springs, Brembo discs, oil cooler and lines, renthal grips, Ram Air filters, Penske rear shock, shorter dog bones, Ignitech cdi and quick shifter, Brembo radial m/c, H*nda Sp1 calipers, Aim dash and data logger. Wheels are being blasted and powder coated. Spike at Ragged edge racing is taking a mould of the fairing. Next job is to brace the swing arm and weld up the tank and mount it correctly, then I can get them blasted and start the build proper. 2 Quote
