Got the front mount glassed in with some carbon fiber for strength. Some block off plates for the original mounting spot

Fuel cell is officially leak-free. My dads got a lot of hours in this thing, it’s quite the work of art!

Are those in cali? I pretty much stay in Oregon. Besides Havasu during the finals for fun

We are pulling this off if any of you guys wanna see it. Under thread “951

Super stoked on this. Did some wheelin & dealing and ended up with this rossier head. Gonna get it all polished out to match our 1020cc lightweight xpl

Scored some first gen UMI steering for a smokin deal.

Well it looks like we are essentially down to a few things. Crankshaft, 90mm pistons & bore the cylinders. Also going to go with Zeeltronics to button up all the electronics. Then we are gonna be spending time making an air intake box of some sort, and modifying the hood the rest of the way.

New beefy ass extended driveshaft showed up today, gotta cut it back about 1 3/4 inch and rethread it for our coupler setup. Also got the engine and parts back from the sandblaster, so it’s time to get that all painted.

Nothing shall go unpainted on this thing lol

Lmao that things obnoxious. Thinking about doing a shock like the HX and XPL but the front of the seat would have to pivot sooooo… we will see lol

Somebody gave me this KTM seat, not exactly sure what it came off of. But we narrowed down the base, & I think we’re on to something. Still need to narrow the foam, it looks much bigger than it’s going to be.

Got given this KTM seat, not sure exactly what it’s from. But it looks much better than my original idea of a 98-03 YZ250 seat. Mocking up a couple options on how we’re gonna glass this in. Totally changes the look of the thing to a more modern sport bike style. Not trying to complete change the...

Switched up on the color. This looks much better. It’s Mazda Soul Crystal Red (46v). Sprayed in Sikkens Autobase

We are making excellent progress. No signs of giving up now, I will ride this thing summer 2024!

Oh I know! I didn’t think you were. Thankyou! I appreciate the input and feel free to continue! It’s always nice to have other insight! We are just a couple dorks winging it lol. My dad is retired so he’s been working on it constantly, this is way to much work for one guy to do on the weekends...

Starting to decide on a color scheme by using the parts as test panels, works great for spray out cards! lol. Little overkill on the flake here, definitely gonna end up with much smaller flakes. But the candy red sure does look great.

I’m thinking the extra weight is going to plant the nose more and handle better, by all means we are open for suggestions. But we didn’t set out to achieve a certain size fuel tank, this was simply the amount of room we had left, chances are I’ll never run more than 3/4 tank. If it ends up to...

Exhaust is center bleed out the chamber, wrapping all the way around through the water box and dumping down under carburetors, and adapted to square tube all the way out the back, under foot well.
