Wow Alex, how did you CAD up the swingarm? Measure it or lazer scan? Some feat mate. I do CAD all day long (architect) and wouldn't fancy my chances drawing that up.

Must say, think the R6 arm is the right way to go. How did the big bore motor run??

Ciao Alex,
Breathtaking, unbelievable, awesome!

With all your perfectionism, you should modify your silencers with correct bent tips instead of the straight ones...

Alex you are doing a Wonderful job. Is this a bit wider than the 3ma frame? Do you have spec's on your frame mods like you have for the swingarm?

of course, frame and all bike layout was drawn by CAD before build

3MA frame (4DL to be precise) id widened 40mm and shortened approx 35mm to fit longer swingarm

Hi Alex,
absolutely stunning! I know what feeling it is to hear the engine running after all the hard work. What is this "singing" noise of your engine (sounds like a turbo) - is this coming from the clutch?

my impression is that noise comes from camera
if you hear bike live noise is quite normal.
of course I removed double gears on crankshaft
and dry clutch rattle a lot if you pull lever.

I didn't think I would get to look at that because I don't Facebook. But it opened up :smt023

Congratulations.

That is some stunning work.
