I'm gonna build up the new frame with some parts from the old frame.
Such as the frontfork ,yokes, frontwheel with brake, rearwheelhub , rearsets ,rev counter ,shocks and fairing.
The idea is to build a carbon tank and seat.
Further we use new parts from Davies , a front fairing bracket , clip-ons, footrest hangers ,all made from very light aluminium and a carbon fibre chain guard.
Our target is to reduce the weight by 20 kg or even more.
The Davies frame weight is 10,5 kg including swingarm and swingarm axle.
The stock frame weight is 20 kg , so we saved already 9,5 kg at the frame.
I have already made some parts lighter such as the wheels axles , drilled them trough , new frontbrake brackets, drilled holes in the rearbrake panel and brake shoes.
Have made already many spacers and bushings from alumium instead of steel.
Instead of a 2.50 rearwheel rim we gonna use a smaller 2.15 rim , also lighter tyres.
Frontwheel a Dunlop KR825 instead of the Avon AM20 , rearwheel a Avon AM22 110/80-18 instead of the thick AM23 130/65-18.
And these tyres without a innertube , our friend with the blue Honda is doing this already for two years.
The weight reduce of the tyres and leaving away the innertubes and smaller rim is about 4kg.
Futhermore I am making another exhaust system , with a better gasflow.Therefore I use a pair of old CB500 header pipes , and a collector of a CBR600 and a carbon Leo Vinci SBK silencer.
