Headlight done!

Think I have at least 10 hours work on this....
Its a Hella xenon mini light.
So during the week I will start pull the bike apart, and paint all the parts, inckluding the fairing...

Hi there,

A really impressive job!
Do you have any update about performance for the engine? standard or some modifies?


Cheers, Deltona

That motor looks like it grew there! The chain passes perfectly through the frame /swingarm. Hats off to you sir...

The engine is Mick Abbey tuned, VM 35mm flatslide with own made intakes, Swarbrick pipes and Zeeltronic ignition/pv controller.
If you see at the earlier pictures on the bench, I have almost two engine extra, and when the bike is 100% done, its time to built a engine you never seen before :shock:

Hello Hvads

I was at Karlskoga racing track some weeks ago and got 5 20 min sessions and boy did my bike wake up after a good wringing ... it was like night and day... Are you happy with Mr Abbey work? I am thats for sure :-)

Havent done a dyno day yet but im happy with 80-90 on the wheel... so i have to try to squeese it in one day...

The bike sounds great by the way... :-)

Any chance for a meeting this summer maybe?

Må ærlig innrømme at jeg ikke er ferdig enda.. Har ikke samme intervallen for skruing som jeg hadde i begynnelsen. Orker ikke stresse, for da blir ikke resultatet slik jeg ønsker.. Så jeg har ikke kommet meg lenger enn du ser på bildene. Har ikke engang startet Mick Abbey syllindrene. Skal muligens ha meg ei økt nå, og da regner jeg med mye har blitt montert. Men må også lage nye innsug, og de har jeg selfølgelig glemt av å få utskjært deler til.... Og uten disse kan jeg ikke montere det meste rundt motoren pga plassen....

What colours do you intend to paint it?
In classic Yamaha red, white and black!
Have you considered a white and black colour scheme ? - there is something rather special about the way the colours are working on your bike at the moment - of course I understand that this is just my personal opinion.

I'm sure it will look incredible whatever colours you choose.

Cheers
Paul
After trying to draw the painting on photos of the bike, I have desided to go with the white Yamaha coulor with yamaha stickers like my -10 R6. If this isnt what I want, Ill do red and black with stickers. I have to see the result first. I realy want the bike to look like a 2010 mod, so I dont want the already used paint work who "everyone" has......
