Nice work on that clamp.
Not that I need one, but how much might you sell that piece for ?
Not to mention the rearsets that you made.

As far as not having any spark, I assume you had spark before you took the bike apart.
Unless you damaged your converter or the ECM while welding on the bike without disconnecting them first, or not having the welder's ground clamp properly attached, simply retrace your steps and you might just find the cause for your spark problem,such as an unplugged connector etc.

Can't wait to see the finished bike.

This is going to be one hot VTR. Can't wait to see it finished. Hopefully you'll get your electrical work sorted soon.

When i worked in the frame, I disconnect the frame from the engine and the rest of the bike...

For a couple of triplee clamps "at measure" the cost is near 350/400€... but this is a forced choice, because the offset of the Brembo racing brake disks was greater than the original, so I have to increase the distance of the fork legs.

In waiting of the triplee clamps, a new modified and stiffened frame... when it's finish, I want to paint in opaque black...

Excellent. Wish I had the skills.

Another update.... i work in all piece of the bike in the same time, so whit the pics was difficult to know at what point is the bike and how many far was the end of the works on it....

This is an amazing project!!!!!!

Toootally impressing. you have awsome skills really!

Are you going to anodize the clamps yourself? Im playing around with that aswell. And i cant make the colors stick to the things im trying to anodize. If youre doing it youself. Maybe you could help us out with an anodizing" how to" one Day?..
Keep the pictures coming...

No, i don't want to risk my new clamps whit "did it yourself" anodization...
I'm sorry!

i wish you the very best luck with your project. i will be watching. :popcorn:

I thought so. Fair enough. Good job....

nice project! are you making the clamps with the stock offset of 35mm? sorry couldn't read the numbers in the picture.

No, the offset in the pics was 35, but finally i decided to go whit 30mm...

What type of Golden paint have you used for the Engine .. Nice color.

Simply a golden spray color, and finished whit transparent... thanks for the compliments!

Just wondering why you didn't reinforce the cast pieces of the frame, and also make the extensions to the swing arm?

I ask to Roger D. and other people have raced whit the SH what's better to reinforced, and where... so i've decided to reinforce only some parts of the frame...
I hav'nt understand exactly what you mean whit "cast pieces"... sorry for my english...
For the swingarm, I've to decided what make... but whit the Ohlins shock i can't make a upper braced mods... so i've to reassembly the frame, the shock, and understand how many space i've for working in the swingarm... and how can I work!

...and the work of today...

Reinstalled the frame and mounthed the new Ohlins damper...

And finish each the oil radiator...

What Ohlins shock is that? Was it customized to fit?

That looks awesome.

Rama, for the swingarm, you can always sling the brace underneath, where it won't interfere with the shock at all...

By "reinforcing the cast" thya mean, that on some race bikes there have been reinforcements going out from the rear of the frame to connect to the swingarm bolt... I have a picture on another computer... I'll post later...

Zmaniv, yes, it's a shock for Aprilia RSV and customized to fit (you can see the spacer from the frame to the shock)

Toy4xchris, thanks!

Tweety, yes, i've many space for brace the swingarm...
and for the "cast" reinforcing i've understand what means now... ;-)

Rama


i hope you are planning to rotate your shock 90 degrees.
the way the top mount is will cause you trouble.

looking good so far!

Nice work Rama, looking forward to seeing this finished...and some pictures on the track!

Where in Italy are you from and where's your nearest track?

Yes, the shock now is 90 degrees (but now I have some problems to fit the tail...)

http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._1534368_n.jpg

I've each painted in red the heads... :evillaugh:

gilson, i'm from Arezzo, near Florence, and the nearest track are Mugello (!!!) and Magione... but each Imola, Vallelunga and Misano are all at 2 hours whit car...

Some pics whit the new frame in black, and whit the heads painted in red...

Man that looks awesome! I'm thinking that next winter I'll do something like that to my hawk, the painting and such, not the mods, no skills here:( but I sure like the red heads and black frame
