Dddddddddddaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuum......

 

That's actually a very interesting question!

 

this is how

 

We had the frame braced long before we hired any help. Seamus simply came in and told us what we were doing wrong.

 

friggin' awesome!

 

photos of the finished bike?

 

It will be finished soon. Another box arrived yesterday and we've yet to put those parts on ...

 

no new updates

 

swingarm gussets?

nothing completes the look(and feel) of a superbike like a solid swingarm.

NICE!

You guys are picky, aren't ya?

We got a set of Brembo Monoblocks this week. They're the same ones Factory Yamaha and Pat Clark Motorsports run. The spacing made them somewhat difficult to find since not many race organizations require the use of OEM forks. We were lucky to source them.




And Seamus fabricated a captive rear caliper.




Also, the bodywork is out for painting. You'll be able to see the bike in action up at the Grattan National.

 

Should have some updates next week as we finally received all of the parts.

Nice timing Plarp:up:

 

Love these "unlimited $$$" builds! Keep up the good work! More PICTURES PLZ!

 

Dang, that's some purty machinery there. I'd love to see all this stuff up close.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the "tuning plates" for the frame supposed to "tune"? I deal in vintage race bikes so I'm a little out of the loop on some of the modern techniques.

 

So how bad did Kurtis mess it up?

 

Lol

 

exactly what i was thinking when i saw that
"oh no not that bike"

 

Needed a bit of a clean up but it was ready to go about 2 hrs after the crash. If you watch the crash the bike bounced off him instead of the pavement (before it did the nice ghost ride into the straw)
