Thats a good point making your own battery set up would allow you to tailor it to your needs. Also if you could do something like use lithium cells you would also get a longer charge for less weight.

The tesla roadster (90k dollar electric car) uses something like 6,000 plus cells (they're about the size of a "C" or "D" cell) to get a run distance of 200 miles. The only problem is they are pricey and I don't know how many you'd need so not sure its the best thing for you.

 

glad to help

another thing that just crossed my mind is that in a 3 hours endurance race you have to stop for fuel (and maybe tires?). place the battery in an accessible location like under the one-seat and just replace the battery while filling up the gas. you can save a LB or 2 this way.

 

Yeah, pricey is bad. The money I have left will be spent on racing this season. So homemade batteries might have to wait until next year.

That I have thought of.

Here's a good link for quick connectors

Could be awesome 'eh? Espically because so many people told me it could not be done!

 

Wuhu! What a great day. Took the bike for a short test drive and she feels great!

Only worry is the Active quick action throttle. Before I had a size 40 which I thought was a little to slow. I wanted a 42, but my friend had a 44... It's fast.. like in VERY fast!

I had to use the radiator I threw out. Ran out of funds so I repaired it. Still got a lot of bend fins, but it will do for the moment.

Still need to install the factory pro jet kit and tune the carbs with the colortuner, but right now she's ready for the track!

A little video

 

Loving this build. Good work
Where did you get that quick release fuel connector?

 

Thanks!

I got them from Harris-Performance

beautiful outcome!
well, a little ugly, but that is some bike

which rear shock is that ?
it doesn't look like the stock one.

I think I will get that quick disconnect as well. we need the 5/16 dia and it connects to the rubber hose, right?

last question, do you actually adjust the spring load on the move ?

 

LOL! Yeah, that fairing isn't too pretty. I have a F4i fairing I want to fit, but need to convert the air ducts so they fit in the airbox and I have no time for that if I want to race this month. So I found this F4 one for scrabs.. It will do for the moment!!

The rear shock is a Maxton

I will recommend them anyday. The shock is great and their service is fantastic.

Can't remember the size.
I cut the rubber hose in half and attached it. My hose is a little too long I think, so will probably cut it a bit more.

Those spring load adjuster's was a mistake. I don't know what I thought of when I bought them, but it's very hard to compress the springs with finger force only. They are more bling bling than anything else.

 

Bike has been on track and she feels great even though I was missing one ram air tube and the radiator wasn't working optimal. So she was a bit low on power, but I still managed to put in a 2.08 on the first day. That is to be compared I ran just under 2 min on my GSX-R 1000 K7 2 years and less experience ago. Fantastic!

Unfortunately I had a bit of "bad luck" that day! See how this video has a happy end!
Video of one of the first laps

Next session the gopro mount broke and the camera get hit by the rear wheel! Auch...
Luckily I managed to find all the parts spread over a wide area of the track and the camera still works! Just need a new house and attachments.

My thoughts after testing:
1000RR front end definitely worth it. Much quicker steer in and fantastic brakes. Even with OEM pads there was plenty of stopping power. I have now changed to performance friction pads, 07 compound. All the stopping power you will ever need!
Even though she steers in faster, I reckon it can be even faster, so I will jack her up another 5mm in the back. In general the weight loss, like the fancy rear wheel has helped to make her steer faster, but a standard f4i rear wheel would have saved me a good deal of cash, and I wouldn't have felt the difference.

Factory pro shift kit: I can only say the gearbox felt great. If it's up to the shift kit or the fact that I installed a '05 gear box I have no clue. Bottom line is the gearbox is now spot on.

Factory pro timing advancer: Didn't feel any difference, but again. Engine wasn't running optimal. When all is installed I will get her on a bench.

Total loss: So I ran the bike purely on a light weight racing battery. No problems at all. Didn't feel any difference in power though, but the complete alternator is still in. Will remove for next time and install HRC flywheel.

Quick action throttle, tube size 44. Fast, like in very fast. Bike doesn't have enough power so it becomes a problem. Can only recommend.

One the engine side I still have work to do.
Factory pro jet kit isn't installed yet and HRC flywheel also needs to be mounted. Hopefully the engine will be much better when I finalize that.

 

I have a question. You changed out the swing arm what was the purpose for it? I already ordered a complete 1000rr front end. Was seeing why switch from the f4 swing arm to the 06 f4i swing arm.
