Michael, first of all this is an absolutely breathtaking bike. The work you have put into this bike is freaking amazing!

A few questions for you:
Where did you get the carbon fibre panels from? Have you weighed the bike? How much have you spent on this bike?

Thanks mate. Enjoy!

Earlier, michael austermann ( http://www.carbon-factory.de/index.html ) made all the parts. He also build the forms.
Now someone else is building the parts. At the moment the bike with 5l fuel wheight 136,42 kg with a 5,5" wide rear wheel and a 180 tyre.
There is a lot of money in the bike, but it is my hobby.

Here you can see some of the forms:

Only one in stock and then ....... i don´t know if we can make more.

Yesterday in my garage we work at the second bike, because thorsten did not finish the fuel injection yet.
Bike looks good with the new wheels.

It is wintertime, time to work at the bikes

Hallo Michael, is there any chance this will work will work whit ignitech´s ignijet2007, instead of the m400. I am afraid if not, I´d better stop reading your posts because after a visit to Thorsten´s shop I think motecs are completely out of reach... for us, the mortals.
I have been following you bikes evolution over the past 4 or five years and, it is sad for me to say, but I have only been able to steal one thing: your shock linkage (and sorry, I did the theads the other way round)

By the way how do you manege to fit 180s at the rear? I can barely fit KR108 165/55.

Good luck with the injection project, keep it up. And congratulations for your bikes
cheers
