NC on a diet

[RonniB]

Been a long while since updating this tread,

Bike as it looks now, more or less good to go..


A view of the lightweight faring bracket in place


and with the fairing in place


And the fittet ISR rear brake


Spec has slightly changed, new is:
- RVF fairing
- Carbon tnak cover and alloy fuel cell
- Stick coils
- And lots of little alloy and carbon brackets (more than before : ))

Which leads to semi-wet (ready to go but without the 6.5l of fuel) weight of 146kg, with 52% on the front wheel.

The scope for further weight loss becomes smaller and smaller, so I only guess there is 5-6kg more to come, unless obsene money comes into play.

Hi spike,

Had double bubble on the 30 fairing I ran previously and didn't like it, I fund that I actually get less wind bufferting with the smaller screen. But running at the TT would kill my neck muscles..., so there I would use the same as Maria running.

The torque arm is a one off, it's 5mm thick and made from 7075T6 alloy.

This is a very good bike Ronni. The rev counter from stacks, did you buy it from Thorsten?
How does it works? Can you read the lcd-display?

Hi Michael,

got the Stack from demon-tweeks in the UK, very easy to read also the LCD display, and you can configure alarms, and shiftlights just like any other high end dash. Only drawback (some might like that) is that the wiring subloom you get with the dash is very well finished and takes some work if you want to smoothly integrate it in the bikes loom.

You will need to get all the needed sensors from stack, since you can't configure your own (the software is sealed/locked) but they are very good quality. And with regards to laptimer it's a bit oldfashioned, either by a handlebar mounted button or by a optional IR beacon.

Setting it up was very easy, no specialist tools or other things needed, just go along with the manual

yeh depending on size and use obviously a db screen may not be suitable, mines got one cos its a race bike and im tucked in as much of the time as possible.

was the torque arm stress tested atall or just design to be similar size and strength to original but lighter? Think I may have been over thinking it for such a simple part.

[RonniB]

Hi

know what you mean and had a double bubble on the 30 style fairing for the same reason.

the torque arm wasn't stresstestet, but is based on a ISR/HRC RC30 design that i know people have been running for years. And I had it made from 7075T6 alloy which is as strong as it gets

Coming along very nicely Ronni.

Did you make the carbon tank cover or buy it?

[RonniB]

I specified how I wanted it, with extra reinforcements by the knees and had a guy who know his stuff do the dirty work..

and thank you for the nice comments
