This is the first posting for the Build Diary for RailGun MkII
I'm already a couple of months into the build - I started pretty much right after SpeedWeek.
This bike is built with my Beam N' Ladder aluminum extrusion architecture like the MkI so lots of pieces that I've made will fit right up.
I've moved the engine to the rear because it was too inefficient to transfer power from the front engine configuration.
I'm parking my nice EX500 power plant for another day, who knows, but for now I'm moving on to the 750 class with a GSXR powerplant.
I'm also committing to Methanol for the new bike, for the usual reasons, more power and it burns so cool.
And to continue from the good performance on the MkI I'm going to design and build the EFI system (Niagara), and for this year I'm also designing and building the Ignition System (SparkNado).
I've posted a few pics of the bike, and also here is a quick video of SparkNado being tested at 14,000 RPM
