Ah --- ZX10 air box ... I just happen to have one or two of those.    I like the air inlets a lot engineering there.
Bike is finally coming together.

Joe, glad to see you're moving forward again on this one.  Keep up the good work.  I'm selling a couple of street bikes so I can get my project moving.

Picked up the engine that I had Steve Knecum build for me yesterday. Steve is the engine guy for a lot of successful land speed projects. He is very busy but does all the assembly himself.  I will go strong on the bike right after Christmas.

The motor mounts are complete.   The bike is now a roller.  I have a Scotts steering damper but it appears that it will take a bit of engineering (like everything else).   I am designing a fuel tank and battery case.    I have designed and redesigned the rear foot pegs, shifter and brakes at least 4 times.  Still not happy with that setup.   I have my nephew's turbo bike on the bench this week.   It needs some troubleshooting on the electrics from salt corrosion.   I should have that one done by next week end and then back to the ZX10.   Plan is to have the bike complete for the June Ohio race.  Confidence is high.

They pipe is Brock's Sidewinder ... made for drag racing but with the short megaphone it should be strong up top ...  I have to fab a gas tank which has me baffled at the moment.

Need best possible design for entire system.  Has a fuel pump, 2 filters and a pressure regulator in a fairly small space. Plus need to carry at least 2 gallons of alcohol. Will do my usual cardboard mock up and then cut it out of metal and get my son to weld it up.  Just want to plan it well and get it right first time. I was able to do that with the last bike. Took a bit of engineering.

Worked on the nephews turbo bike today and found the electrical problem.  Bad cam position sensor.  Took one out of parts engine and got spark.  So now it is just button it up and get to the ZX10 project. 

I made my first mockup fuel tank.

Oz -

I am considering a TLR tail and seat ... I really like that design ... You just can't keep me away from your builds.
