Tony Foaled Beam Frame

[Cluffy]

Does anyone have any experience putting a oil cooled gsxr engine in a Tony Foale beam frame?

[R1guy]

Nope- but if you own a Tony Foale frame can you share some pics

I've heard Mr Foale is a very helpful bloke, you can find him on t'internet and ask him personally.

Cheers bluedog.

I shall find him.

R1guy. I've found a rolling chassis fitted with a CB900 and I fancy summat different in it. I just never heard of Tony foale before this evening.

if your looking for some serious bed time reading get his book on motorcycle chassis design - but if the only time yi seen the word trigonometry was on a scrabble board - best go freshen up on yir school maths  - also take a look at his suspension setup program - but be warned!!!! I think I was in a better place armed with ignorance, after reading his stuff, i'm still ignorant but now have a better appreciation of the questions to ask - now makes sorting out project bikes a bloomin nightmare "it fits, that,ll do = blissful ignorance versus it fits, but what about XYZ and the cosine of the vector force relative to the COG when accelerating at 1g over a hump back bridge ARGH!!!!!  I jest - it is brilliant stuff

Cheers.

It ended up being too much for me. Also it wouldn't handle the power from a slab11 turbo lol

All that pondering about technical stuff is great, I do it all the time too. But sometimes you have to say, fuck it.. let's ride!

Not true.

Chassis is fine, power plant will always  win if you put that much through it. 

Ok, I'll take he bare bones of this project off you, Snickers bar and a packet of Orio's. Best offer.

Unless you want to be the first US team to run in Classic Endurance. 

I'll give Jason Pridmore a bell, he would ride it.

Lol I didn't buy it in the end. I can get you the why username of the guy who was selling it.
