Couldn't have said it better myself... But I can say it bigger... That is one sexy fork!

I'm kind of interested to hear your long term opinion on the lightened flywheel. Normally when you go lighter it makes the motor twitchier, as in it's easier to make quick rpm changes. On our bike, where it's already quite "throttle sensitive", I'll be eager to hear how it runs in "cruise" mode on the highway, or you know, getting to your fun places... Otherwise, I'm very excited by your entire project, and can't wait to see your results. And then when you decide to toro-charge it too. :laughing6-hehe:

If only there were another 9hp to be found... Then you would have doubled the stock output! I wonder if those e3 diamond fire plugs work... :fing02:

Yowzah!

As an open and inquisitive mind, I applaud you for your efforts and eagerly await results! I think part of the reason this is not a popular technology is the whole power draw issue. How many of the people who would honestly consider building a rig to test it in the original pioneering days would have had a motorcycle to do it with. And more importantly, a Stator based charging system. Best of luck, and be sure to continue to make regular updates with even minor results.

This way also sounds cooler, and therefore he can probably charge WAY more too. :goofy:

I still think an "electronic" Rally style, slap shifter will be the easiest and most reliable option. It's just Up/Down momentary switches, wired to any number of linear actuators/gear reduced motor options, that would work in parallel to shift both motors at the same time. The boolean logic diagram is ridiculously simple, the only oddity being Neutral, but you can simply ad a separate button to do the half shift from 1st or 2nd. It would be much simpler to build, and WAY easier to route.

What the Whyte PRST 4? yeah I want one! You can't pedal standing up (honk) very well but they 'float' over anything rough x-country. have a look at the new whyte bike's rear quad-link/tara swingarm works. Whyte was a ex-F1 benetton suspension designer. Done rear's for Marin bikes too. :laugh: That totally just reminded me of that Turbo Encabulator video...

Now that's just fantastic.

Great read! Didn't Codewriter use a vacuum solenoid to turn off the autotune on decel?

I've been following this for quite a while, and I'm glad to see you getting it together. Take your time and get it right. The suspense is worth it.

Do keep up, mate! You're right, but GreenVFR was exiled from the UK-based HondaVFRClub over a year ago; I was actually permanently banned from there last week...Ciao, Sounds like a pair of awesome (or lame) stories... I took my buddies 636 out the other week. I need a kit. And to retune my suspesion (upgrade it). But I need more power!

So are we going to get to see this thing by the spring or what?

Oh, just incase you didn't already know... Since you're going to use a VTEC motor, make sure you get the same revision. 2002-2005 are the same, but the ECU (and maybe more) changed from 06+
