FXR Bucket

shessh taco!! you change your mind worse than a woman!!

Hey man, it's conceptual development stages here, I can do what I wants. Wont buy anything for sure till there are definitive ruling though, cause the NSR100 would be sweet, though a touch heavy with all that extra unused chassis and gearbox potential.

Damn that looks like fun.

Conceptual development on the frame has begun, cause I'm bored, but it's movin' pretty slowly because I have nothing to measure the FXR bits with just now. In a week or so though I should have somethin' worthy of construction, prime for moving all the FXR parts onto. Watch this space.

You be wanting to join the Motorcycle Chassis mailing list then, and pick the brains of the likes of Tony Foale. Have a look at Michael Moore's Eurospares site.
You will also be wanting to buy/ borrow Foale and Willoby's book on Chassis design, not to mention Tony Foale's new chassis book and CD with design proggies in it. John Robinson's book is also worth a read.
Mine are out on loan to someone else at present, but you might be able to get it through the library.
Have a play with a 3D frame analysis program. I played with MultiFrame years ago on a bike chassis. It makes interesting experimenting. I think there might be free/ demo versions around which will do the job.

lol, Fair enough, the more development that goes into something, generally the better it comes out once built

Is this an updated version of the old book? and how much extra stuff is in it?

I think its engine's you need to work on, not chassis'

Already sorted, or at least it will be by the time the series starts again
We know what the problem was and how to fix it

I see, so theres two possibilities:
1. You've left it standard
2. Someone else has done the motor work.

Neither so he's fucked

Right, it's goin' top secret underground for a while, so a) you don't know what I'm doin', b) so I don't fill the forums with uselessness, not that that's not gonna happen elsewhere anyway, and c) cause nothings really happening and wont do for a while.

But I got a Suzuki GT125 off trademe for $166, havent seen it yet and it hasn't been started in 5 years but I'll make it do something, hopefully though I can just put sticky rubber on and be away till the NSR100 is goin'.

Watch out for it!
