VIFFER93 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well All, It has been 3 years since the TrackenViffer has been on the track and I figured it was time for an update as season 3 closes. Overall this has been an amazing, amazing track day bike. Certainaly not the fastest, but it is one of the best set up bikes I have ridden, including some others I own. There have been some teething issues, we worked through some minor electrical gremilns, a new stator and carburetor adjustments but these were very minor. So with the bike in a "stable" state and over 20 track days under her belt, it will be time to start looking at cutting off the pounds this winter. This has been a great bike not only by my opinion but by people who have 100's of track days under their belt and it continues to get lots of comments and questions.

MVinOZ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Looks like an R1/R6 front end, I am keen on doing that to mine, is there a build thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIFFER93 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looks like an R1/R6 front end, I am keen on doing that to mine, is there a build thread? There was a build thread not sure where it went. Components include; - 2000 R1 forks and brake calipers - Forks were rebuilt, revalved and resprung - Honda 929 lower tree and stem - RC51 upper - Wood Craft Clip ons - Yamaha Throttle with custom Motion Pro throttle cables - 2006 R6 front wheel (chose that because the brake dish diameter was identical to the R1 set up) - custom wheel spacers and caliper spacers/bolts It actually bolts up pretty easily BUT remember I did all custom body work and instruments so you will have different challenges for a street bike. I also increased the rear ride height and spent a lot of time doing suspension and geometry set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for a track bike build, if all those parts bolt up, I can sort the rest out. (Although the RC51 upper might present a problem, they're pretty rare over here...) What rear shock are you using?

VIFFER93 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 The shock is a Wilbers Racing Shock with 10mm of ride height added. It is a very very nice unit. I wish I still had the connection I used to get it, I would get another one. I also have found out that Penskee will build you one upon request. They are building one now for the 3rd gen I use for the street. There are Pictures in my gallery section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer apexandy Posted August 30, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2013 (Although the RC51 upper might present a problem, they're pretty rare over here...) You can still use a 929/954 upper triple, the only real difference being the RC51 is a flat top and the 929/954 upper is a gullwing design that gains you approx 19mm (?) of front ride height. You could still raise the forks through the 929/954 triple to make the front end the same height as the RC51 upper triple though your clipons would be lower if mounted under the triple.

Member Contributer Kel Posted August 31, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've seen this bike at speed at Loudon and it sounds as good as it looks and he is very capable in the saddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
