    A not-so lead sled?

    I’ve had this 1KT TZR Chassis lying around for a while now and have pondering wether to do something with it or not.

    I tried to give it away but it came back so it must be true love.

    Now don't get me wrong the 'sled is still my first priority but with Number One wanting to race having another F4 bike will soon become necessary.

    So I started the build process today with fitting a ZZR250 front end.
    These probably less than ideal forks in their current state, certainly not as well spec'd as the 1KT forks.
    Necessity is the mother of invention and a lack of suitable wheels means the whole ZZR front end will be used along with the rear wheel. The ZZR wheels aren’t the lightest rims around but they are the right size for 125GP tyres and will fit with minimal modification.

    I’ll probably build another CB142 twin motor for it out of all the bits I have lying around but would be keen on a two stroke to keep weight down and add some variety to the stable.

    Who knows what will become of this project and if I can get it further up the periodic table than the Leadsled, only time and regular updates will tell.

    My! Isn't that a big gap in the middle where a motor should go.

    Nice one Sully,

    Sing out if you want a hand hammering stuff or generally getting in the way

    Have you got an ETA on completion?

    Hmmmm, detect a note of quivering concern in your post I do...

    Won't be faster than anything wif no mota guvnor!

    Thinking out loud it should be better than the 'sled if I transplanted the engine, better power to weight and all that. Could end up a bit tall so we'll see how that works out.

    If you look closely in the background there's another one mid backflip.

    That might be a little high up table if I use another twin. Would be nice though...


    I was thinking more like Ironsled, not as heavy as lead but still heavy.
