If you have the choice , i would go for a frame that goes round your swingarm instead of the usual frames that have the swing arm fixated in the middle. This gives you a much more stable ride.. I have had both and it's a huge diiference :) not saying the normal frames are bad but if you can...

Can't you find dunlop TT92's there ? the exist in 10inch and they have awesome grip.. Here we use sava slicks for colder weather and heidenau slicks for warmer temps.

Here in Belgium everyone rides on 10" (we're riding only on tarmac here and our tracks are smaller and a bit more twisty I think so we're better of with 10" ) and with the 10 inchers we're a bit lower to the ground what gives us more support on the knees in case of a break out ( that saved me...

Almost finished!! takegawa ignition , skidplate and handgaurs still need to come but here you see what it looks like now

I'm still waiting for some parts..when they arrive and installed she 'll be ready.. things to come: takegawa inner rotor racing ignition, oil cooler, oil thermostat, kickstarter, kill switch, plastics and sponsors sticker kit. Then I can start to brake her in :) (any suggestions to...

and here another update of the progress of my project today I added a gear shifter, short takegawa intake manifold and Kitaco throttle assy and carburator : a Keihin PWK 28 mm D-slide carburetor ( a real one and not one of those cheap replica's that seam to be sold everywhere these days)...

here some close ups of the brake system as someone requested :)

If I make a quick calculation I'm around 6000 euro's I'll take some pictures of the front brake this afternoon and post them..

I did want an aluminium frame, so that did limit the number of possibilities. And second I didn't want a perimeter frame so i could easily acces the carb between races / heats,... and indeed the rake of this bike is a bit more so it's a bit more stable then a bbr ( we ride 10" here in...

well here are some other pictures I have on my computer.. and here a closer look at the engine : as for the rake: It has slighter more rake then the BBR frame I compared it with but nothing extreme...

it's the new takegawa 138cc complete engine with automatic decompression. the exhaust is handmade by a local exhaust wizzard here in belgium. The front brake is a radial master brake cilinder of a derbi supermotard (13mm diameter), the brake caliper is a dual piston one from a 125 -250 cc...

I'm building a minimotard based on a Motovert pro '07 now that things begin to get going I decided to post it here. I 'll skip all the problems I had to make everything fit and just start with the rolling frame and the engine being mounted. and now it looks like this :

seems like an injection throttle body.. what kind / brand engine is it..? I' m looking to put an injection system on my minimotard and this could be a good start..

where did you find that data, Numroe if I may ask? any more news on the delivery dates allready?

actually we have something like that too. we have a category A and a category B first race the organisation looks at the times and divides the riders in a fast (A)and a slow category. (B) category B riders are slower because they are mostly beginners and have china motors,..... so the B...
