Im coping my GP3 frame and making it out of stainless pipe and putting my b1 watercooled motor in it , So it will feel the same as my open class bike to ride.
I will keep my progress posted .

I think Roger said his B1 powered bikes are 18kg, and 16kg for the A115 ones, so that's something to aim for. IIRC the A115 frame was 2.3kg and the B1 version was 1.8kg.

Nice one. Go Daz!
Looking good so far, weigh the frame when you are finished and let us know how heavy it is.
Double shot!!
The stainless ones the highschool kids made were super light.

Shit Daz you gunna be the flashest dude on the track Greg will spew when he see's that frame now you just need the Italian internals for your mota and game on. Well done.

Hay Daz.
What are you going to make the rear arm from?? Just an idea for ya.... if you make from the SS tube in a triangle form and maybe make the top part of the arm adjustable ie double rose joint ... then you can really tune the chassis for the track.... shorter wheel base quicker tighter turning but can be labeled twitchy by some ...longer wheel base smother cornering not as responsive... most GP3's and reps in NZ are a midi chassis so I would class it as a long wheel base but my GP3 is a mini and is alot shorter in the rear arm making mine a short wheel base... I love it but others that go from a midi on to mine say it corners fast but feels twitchy when pushed lol
