Team ESE the darkside

[QUOTE=kel;1130521575]Sort out the pipe on the FXR and go and race it hard. Find/reach its limits before bothering with the big budget (for a bucket) racer.

Its just fun building things like this.

This is way easier than building a frame like yours. I have my spare in the frame but the crank is shagged

Here's one of it being used. Nice work!

Wow a very nice shot. Do you have the ones of Glens crash as well.
We were pretty happy with the bike but the reason Glen crashed was a lack of feel in the front, because of the changes we made on Sunday to compensate for not having a heavy enough fork spring. We have 2 x 65 springs in it but with the extra weight of the FXR engine we think we need a 65/70 set up. If we cant get the spring , I will get one made or shift the engine back towards the rear wheel. Still loads of work to do and hope to have 2 going by the North Island Champs at the end of this year.
