Finally finishing up the multistrada build and can focus on the 2V SBK. Plus I sold my other bike so I have some $ to feed this one.
Here's the plan...
Frame: 999
Rear End: 1098
Front end: 1098
Motor: 2002 900SS fuel injected
Tank: 848
Subframe: Not sure yet...
Bodywork: modified 916 / 996 / 748 style track plastics with custom lighting (the plan at least)
Work done so far:
- Modified 900SS cases so they'll fit the frame (pushed bearings out, ground down, pushed bearings back in)
- New steering head bearings (All Balls Bearings) installed
- 1098 wheels refinished (had to pull the bearings and reinstall - yea good luck)
- Test fit motor, frame, front and rear end
Up Next:
- Get custom frame inserts machined (the pivot bolt goes through an insert in the frame, the 999 insert has the bolt going in off-center, the air cooled motor needs it exactly on center)
- Buy MOAR PARTS (fuel pump, gauge cluster, brake rotors, velocity stacks / filter, new slave cylinder, new clutch, lightweight flywheel, bla bla)
- Endlessly debate what I should do with the motor, if anything
- Finalize my split throttle body set-up and get a custom throttle cable made @ Motion Pro
- Wiring... nuff said
- I'll leave at that for now.
Pics below of where it is now. I will disassemble it again, put it on a new bench, and my goal is to do a time-lapse build vid too. I'll be documenting this one in detail, my hope is to share all the info online so anyone can build their own super lightweight torque monster!
There, there - in the back (behind the Multi on the high bench...)
How I did the bearings on the motor:
If anyone is wondering where I found the parts.... This is what I scored with a trip up to Marin one day:
There are good deals around...
