Hello Alex,
these frames are the best conversion I ever saw - and I have seen quite a lot of RD500 projects. These are even better workmanship than Costin chassis.
Have you really built 3 of them or this simply photoshop?
PM me for price tag.

ciao

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgangh
thanks for compliments
I haven't seen Micoproducts frame from live
but from your foto seems well done.

Yes, frame are three, but no one for sell, sorry

I want to build two replica of two different model year '89 and '98
and third frame is for a friend, he want to mount Ralf Kras engine conversion

Wolfgangh, i have a question, this morning i try to put under the bike the bottom part of your fairnig,
i think that i'll have interference problems with water pump and generator, may be the engine twisted down in front

another question, can you tell me the lenght (hole to hole) of R6 swingarm ?

Alex,
as you see I have modelled "Bubbles" into the lower fairings for the generator cover and the waterpump, so that I did not need to widen it at the bottom. If your engine sits in another position, these will be in the wrong place then.
Someone who builds such beautiful frames can easily change the position of these bubbles in the fairing I am sure...just a little "copy and paste", in this case cut-out and place in another position, and mold it in place with fibreglass matte and epoxy.

The R6 swingarm has a minimum length (rear axle in most forward position) of 565mm

best regards

Wolfgang

Wolfgang, I never work with fiberglass before, then I'm al little scared about it, i'll try to do modification request, don't worry :smile:

on front left of bottom part of fairing there is a pronuciated square
bubble, how parts on your bike fill that shape ?

@ Andrew, I'll try to post some more pic's

Alex,
the "bubble" on the front left is for the coolant hose between upper and lower radiator

amazing, simply amazing. Great work. How many hours do you have into a frame. It must be quite a few
