Svedberg's RVF Race bike

[L.Svedberg]

Sorry for being such a lazy SOB...been way busy getting the new house up and running lately. Found the time to fabricate a new end can, at least. The carbon sleeve is from fleabay, but the rest is ofmy own design. Will corrrect the angle of the exhaust, and make a carbon hanger to fit.

The tank cover and seat will also be properly joined to a single unit, once I get the time.

The spec of this project bike is in short:

600RR -07 forks
600RR -07 front brake calipers
ISR 320mm front discs
Steel braided lines
600RR master cylinder
RobbyMoto QA throttle unit
Suzuki RM 85 -08 front caliper for rear caliper
250CC GP bike master cylinder
Modified RVF rear disc (smaller/thinner)
Through the swing arm steel braided rear brake line
Suzuki GSXR1000 -07 rear shock (an alternative OHLINS shock is being prepared)
WR rearsets
2.3 Ah mini battery
Davies Craig water pump
Silicone water hoses
Rick O top radiator
Italian special lower rad
Yamamoto 1/2 system
Special silencer
Special subframe, adjustable height/angle
Special seat unit
600RR fairing
600RR carbon front fairing bracket
Carbon chain guard
Titanium bolts everywhere on the front end (so far)
Alu clip on bars
Yamaha R1 fuel pump
Aluminum fuel cell (under seat)
Gold Talon rear sprockets
Gold DID chain
Mike Norman GSXR1000 generator assembly
Keihin FCR33 carbs/ Mike N rubbers

And an empty set of engine casings...so far. Lots of work left, but perhaps will turn out pretty cool, I hope!

Brilliant mate. Good to see you remembered where we were

Hope all is cool with you, take it easy if you can

[Spike16]

wow thats a awesome spec list, and your gona race it

but why bother with the gsxr generator, why not total loss?

[L.Svedberg]

Well, the generator is mostly for getting rid of the inconvenience of having to recharge the battery between sessions at the track, but also to be somewhat more prepared for a possible street-going version of the RVF if I feel like it someday.

Mind, the bike will use an electrical water pump, a fuel pump and the button starter, so a little juice won't hurt!

On another note, an interest has been expressed about having more of this seat unit made up, and I'd like to know if there are others on here who'd want one before I start stocking up on fibre mat etc. Not cheap, but guaranteed light weight, stiff, well made and pretty much unique.

HI Lasse
It starts to look great!. :D

I'm interested. Please specify 'Not cheap' and how much fuel it will take?

[L.Svedberg]

The fuel cell will be finished in a few days now. I haven't taken any measurement of how much fuel it'll hold, but my guess is around 6-7 litres. The cardboard pieces for the mock-up are well taken care of, for possible duplication in the future. Pics hopefully on monday.

That's looking amazing mate, must have cost a canny penny so far.
How did you fit the cbr yokes to the nc frame?

[L.Svedberg]

Well, I replaced the std CBR stem with a custom one and voila! put it all back on. Requires the use of a lathe.

Better late than never, right?

[mruehl34]
