EXUP Worldwide

I went to a local supplier to buy some straight 42mm OD pipe to fill the gaps between the curvy bits... Sure enough, the pipe is made in Taiwan. Need to get some flanges laser cut, and wait for the T04 turbo flange to turn up. Then I can crack on with the headers! https://i.imgur.com/mxhX6Mb.jpg

USA is a lot faster than Europe - I've been waiting 3 weeks for a thermostat housing from Slovenia

Fingers crossed on the housing...

Progress is painfully slow, because the way I buy parts now is best product for the lowest price A lot of this bike is coming from china... I just couldn't afford the build otherwise. I'm not complaining, nor making excuses, everything purchased so far exceeds my quality expectations. The stainless ...

Probably more into the Aero, it'll cost me my right nut, and I'll have a bonus new, higher pitched voice as well... :lolno: These days wind tunnel time is less important, solid edge for example has a 3D fluid dynamics component that allows you to model the best shape body work with the lowest drag c...

Motor will have all starter and alternator stuff striped out, I'll organise a crank shaft side attachment that will allow a remote hand held start on the alternator side. It will have Woosner h beam rods and 9:1 pistons. Adjustable cam wheels, standard cams, Carpenter valve springs. Cometic thicker ...

Yep. I'll be running E85 fuel, compliant high HP fuel pump, fuel regulator, larger injectors, controlled by Motec M48 ECU The E85 should eliminate the risk of det at 107 octane, and cooler explosion. On the intake side I'm running twin side mounted 600 x 300 x 75 inter-coolers, fed by NASA ducts, wi...

Thanks Guy's! Yeah the turbo has me a little worried lol! I imagine it will be like spool, spool, spool, spool, are we there yet? then being shot out of a cannon! Being twin scroll, I will have to have 2 waste gates, which adds expense. I'm going to be running somewhere between 1 bar and 2, so boost...

Some parts arrived today... :D Turbo... https://i.imgur.com/sCiSprk.jpg Some other bits... https://i.imgur.com/0q3Di11.jpg I've decided to buy all new mechanical parts, so I know what I've got from the beginning. The salt flats at Lake Gairdner are 80 miles from the nearest road, and outside of mobi...

... There's not a lot of movement on the forum anymore, but there are a few of us who still look and respond to posts.

Dave

I just made a large post here, but it was lost because I took too long. Oh well

Okay, let's go racing!

It's never that easy, and what I'm proposing exceeds everything that has been done in AU on a sit on bike on salt.

So let us start here:

I picked this seriously munted low km monster a while ago. And this is the starting point,

My only comment on their question, how can a little Italian company contest with a big Japanese giant, well they did allude to it in the article, but, simply stuff the big japanese giant's motor into your sweet lightened and stiffened chassis. Yep that was the idea! Bimota essentially invented the ...

Here is a comparison by superbike magazine of my two favorite bikes!

The second image loss appears to be a flurry of broken links to images hosted on third party solutions such as photobucket/flickr/picasaweb/etc. This one I need to look into further as I don't really know what I can do to restore links to broken or defunct image hosting sites (I think Spook might h...

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the kind words, and thoughts. All the very best to you all. Cheers.

I'll be looking after Mum, not a happy time, Dad died on Monday. He was 96, so a good innings, doesn't make it any easier though, especially for Mum... 66 years of being happily married.

All the best to all my forum buddies, for Christmas and the New Year, Cheers!

Okay... this one is finished took it for a ride, and bloody hell!

It's the first bike I've ridden with an exup valve fitted, and it makes a very noticeable difference the engines character, especially how it pulls from low rpm.

Edit try this one....?

I remember the 1st time I saw a Bimota, it was a brand new YB10 Dieci (FZR1000 motor) and I was just in awe at the RAW CRAFTMANSHIP...PURE ART!!! Damn right! After a year of not being so well, (back surgery, blood-clots, recurring blood-clots, staph infection, lung scaring..) I'm finally getting ba...

no, sorry mate, not here. If you have a repack kit, it should have rivets. measure the outside diameter of the new rivets, and use a new good quality (cobalt) drill bit to drill the head off down to were the remaining stem is. Get a tapered punch (needs to be a slightly smaller diameter than the ste...
