It should be interesting.
Most bikes you obviously lean but with this the key is to keep the bike 100% level due to ground affects.
The bike is due to be dynoed very soon and expecting around the 160hp range in this standard configuration.
The bike will be mapped with turbo size fuel injectors and all wiring is ready for turbo install plug and play.
500hp+

So, let me get this right. I have 600hp+ to haul @2 tonne down the 1/4 mile and you're going for 500hp+ on something that looks like it weighs 3/8 of 4/5 of f**k all ?? That's going to be one fun ride, full credit to you.

Handel bars have been a pain in the arse as very little space and alot going on.
After lots of attempts it's had to be the gold one that fits

You raise a good point here. At the moment the plan is to get it running and drive around the gravel yard and see how we get on. Helmet ? Gum shield ?
Im trying to borrow a 3D laser scanner to get the bike in CAD future is then a possible 3D printed mold and carbon Kevlar body panel chest Pan thing.
Even thought about cutting the middle out the bike and bolting the front and rear to a full carbon Sled
Or even cut up a carbon Kevlar Olympic bobsled and put this over the top

I have been looking into this and the size is perfect.
The issues is there is just so much going on up the front end.

Plonker here slipped and managed to take the head of the banjo bolt that connects the shock to the remote pressure reservoir.
Now I have no idea what pressure these run at but it shot 8 meters across the workshop. (dangerous be warned)
A costly mistake that required a full rebuild at the manufacturer. Note the fancy new banjo bolt
Mounted back on the bike ready to go

lambda Sensor
The Motec ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is pretty clever as can take a lambda Sensor input to Ethier adaptatively learn what is the correct fuel mixture (self learn) / Log the fuel mixture working within a range of your fuel map or even give a warning lights or shut down the bike down.
lambda fitted and working
