  1. Awesome project/bike :upyeah:

    What sorcery do KTM use to get their engines so light?
     
  2. Take a look... I’m in the middle of a valve shim Service on mine

  6. This is literally the stuff I dream about. Only difference is that I can only dream, while these guys are actually doing something!
    BRAVO!
     
  7. After 3D printing the rear calliper support the CNC made unit was made.

  8. This is amazing stuff. Like @bradders I'd love to have a 140kg race bike, so much better than hauling around a big lardy 200kg road bike.
     
  9. I quite often think about stripping my gsxr down with carbon fairings, light weigh loom ECT ECT.
     
  10. What, to a lightweight 180kg?! :D

  11. The biggest change you can do and feel is if you change the wheels for lighters units

  12. @El Vikingo Tropical funnily enough I've got a set of oz piegas on order for it. They cost more than I paid for the bike though! :D
     
  13. OZ Piega’s are the business, getting mine transformed the PS1000

  14. Yep - biggest difference was adding Marchesini's to my z1000 - I'm half a mind to go up again to CF Dymags...

  15. At the first corners you will have the sensation falling in side the corner as you are use to make a lot of force to corner that with with the light wheels is not necessary any longer:)

  18. The fuel tank is being made of 1mm aluminium, it’s not the most easy thing to weld that thin material
