Wow that's going to be full superbike spec.

Look forward to reading about it.

 Yes, I was bouncing the rev limiter on the back wheel at over a ton today, we needs more power!

haha sounds great! Now that I would like to see

 Whats that had done to reach 175 ?

Sorry cabbie missed your post, did my run to Weymouth today so couldn't make loomies,  bloody good roads down that way on too and doesn't seem to be any  cops which is a bonus!

we didn't see any either

found some new back A-roads which are very quiet and lovely to ride

Busy few days, repainted the motor and fitted new headers (snapped a zorst stud too :( but got it out ok ) painted the rad in alloy paint and made a stone guard, came out real nice me thinks, got the mesh from "The Mesh Company" this is their grade #8 mesh in stainless steel, they cut to size also, cost £7

Great job with the rad guard, blended in nicely.

oh nice work on the rad guard cabbie, i have a load of that mesh knocking about may have to have a play with it myself..

Few more update

Full Bazzaz kit


And replacing the heavy ugly CBR swing arm with a super light ZX10 item

Looking forward to seeing it blasted and blinging!!

 very cool cabbie! cant wait to see it all fitted and blasted

looks like it could be shorter than the blade arm, shes going to be even more of a wheelie monster!

See you got the supercoarsa on there also, is it the 200? what do you think to it I have one on mine also

If you have the wheel almost at the back on the swing arm slots the wheel base id the same, only did a quick run on the 200/55 corsa so not sure what it's like yet but if it's good enough for superstock racing I'm sure it will be ok on the A 272

Top shock mount pattern done

Time to work out the rising rates between swing arm top mount and frame top mount

So set up the blade swing arm linkage and made spacers of 10mm, I plotted the travel from 1 to 13 spacers


This gave equal increments of 5.5mm


Next I set up a guide where the Frame mount will be (couldn't use the MDF pattern as the blade arm hit it ) and plotted the same 13 spacers, I got equal increments of 7.5mm, so need to reduce travel by 2mm


Worked out I need to shorten the triangle by 33mm


Made a pattern triangle to test


This gave me equal increments of 6mm


So, fine tuning the linkage to match the original set up is not that hard, will make set up adjustable dog bone and adjustable traingle get it perfect, first I need to cut the ZX10 swing arm lower lug off and make the new one to be welded on, once thats done I'll make new linkage to give the same rising rate as the blade.

Here's the shock in place, plenty of room for swing arm travel, dropped the swing arm off at shot blaster just now so can get started on the linkage lug for it

blimey cabbie maths and everthing !! im truly blown away!! amazing work there buddy
