Final KR Based Race Bike Project

Bad luck with the 3xv

FZR400 FZR600 even better =D> =D>

[JanBros]

best is to stick the 600 in the 400

[boggy]

You've hit the nail on the head

[Luders]

Thought I would just post some more detailed pics of how I'm doing the carb rubbers.

Here's one next to the standard PWK 28 rubber.

Nice Job Ben , looks good

[Luders]

Thanks Steve.

I've now made a start on the airbox, which is probably going to be a few weeks work for me.

[scooble]

is there any reason why the inlet manifold holes are offset towards the center line of the bike?

[Luders]

Yes there is, it's because the KR frame is too narrow

Nice job there ben, I do like the intake manifolds never seen that before but good thinking batman =D> =D>

[500bernie]

Hi Ben,
I like the QR fairing stays
Much better than standard =D>

[Luders]

I appreciate this probably doesn't look too clever, but the final product will be no lesser standard than anything I have done on this project thus far.

I've taken some plasticard and created a basic airbox shape, to suit the area available to me. I have a few pieces left to add to it and holes to fill, but once it's done, I'll be able to create a mould from it using fibreglass.

It's going to be a muliple process effort to reach the final result, so I'll update the thread at each stage.

Bernie, you're welcome to stop by when ever you are passing to take a look and have a cuppa.

[500bernie]

Cheers Ben =D>

Phase 2 of the airbox.

This is the first mould to create the plug from. I should be able to get the plug made up by the end of the week.

[Luders]

As expected, I managed to get the plug made up and am trying it for size in situ with the bike and sub-frame. I need to clean it up, put nice radiuses on edges and give it all a polish, so its ready to create a nice mould from.

It's all a bit dusty at the moment, where I've sanded or trimmed bits, but I'm actually relatively happy with its fit and how it will look on the bike once I make the final part from carbon fibre.




Here you can see the shaping around the gas can for the shock



It's a good volume airbox considering the tight area I had to work around



Will update this thread with the airbox plug out of the bike all cleaned up and ready for the mould creation
