Well being new to here I thought I'd share with you guy's what I've been up-to since I took my 675 off the road for winter. Winter came a bit early after loosing my number plate and a bell mouth breaking so I've been in the strip build mode since mid October. List of mods so far: Engine Flapper Valve completely removed Air Box foil coated to reflect heat away DNA High flow filter Kit Bell Mouths NGK CR10EiX plugs Cat Removed Mid section pipe wrapped in heat bandage Micron Ti Slip on exhaust Translogic Quick Shifter SJS Silicone Hoses Fan Removed Header Tank Removed SAi Blanking kit TuneBoy & Custom Map 1050 Throttle Tube Carbon Engine Covers Chassis BST Carbon Wheels Braking Wave Wavey Disks F&R Ti Bolts holding disks on Brembo Race Compound Pads Carbon Front Fender Renthal Bars Renthal Grips Pazzo Two Finger Levers Puig Screen Motographix Number Boards Carbon In-fill Panels Screw Filler Cap Sprint Steering Damper Reworked Front Forks Nitron Full Race Spec Rear Shock with Remote Preload Adjuster Renthal Front 15T Sprocket Talon Rear 48T Sprocket Tsubaki 525 Chain T3 Racing Reasets Carbon Hugger Carbon Heat Shield Home Made Front Chain Guard R&G Shark Fin Ti bolts in engine cases and various other areas Ti Pre-Load Adjusters on Forks Giles Chain Adjusters Giles Paddock Stand Adaptors Giles Ti Rear Axle Nut Various Parts Anodized
Hello mate, Had a slurp tonight and hope this comes out ok but… Is all this work for racing, track, show or simply appearances as you are going to extremes to reduce weight on a bike that is pretty slim to begin with?
There is madness in my method lol I'm building the bike to have a crack at a lap record somewhere, not telling where yet as I have to do a deal to secure the rider. I'll give you a clue, the record is currently held by a liteweight GSXR600. Plus I love making the bike I designed better.
Are you going for Cadwell SiW? The 675 seems to have an advantage there. PS Look beautiful. Think I'll have to give mine a clean now. I like the hoses. PPS Kit alternator would give you a couple of easy horses. What's it putting out at the moment?
Even if I had the £, the technical skill department is also a bit lacking :roll: Your bike looks fantastic. Really impressive.
She's kicked out 112 at the back wheel last year, the engine spiked at 114 for some reason! Got a few more mods to do then back on the Dyno for final figures. If I go down the route of a liteweight battery then I may go for a kit alternator as well. I'm out if work after christmas so spending will have to stop :-(
Are you sure it was only that at the back wheel, I would have thought all those mods would have made it more than that.
I would think that SiW is talking about his bike's bhp as standard Godzilla. Sounds like you have put a lot of thought into your modifications SiW. Good luck mate and keep us informed with your progress.
I worked for Triumph Designs back in 1996 if you want to find out where the original idea's came from then ask Johhny Bloor, Steve Sawford or Tony Dwyer
