[millfab313]

any idea what a chassis fully tabbed for gixxer 1000 might go for? or too soon to tell yet

[ProtoDie]

Sodman,,,,,Thanks
After the single seater & 2 seater are complete, with some testing, I hope to release plans for the rolling chassis for each.
The way time is flying, and with my work load,,,,,,,,,,,I hope August.

Rolling chassis I believe would be the faster way to go.
After the chassis is done,,,there is still a ton of work to build one.

Millfab,
Currently,,,$7500 for a 2 seat rolling chassis. This includes roll cage, a arms, front wheel assemblies, steering, rear engine cradle, rear a arms, rear wheel assemblies, rear upper shock mounts, some other stuff is in there too.
In the next month, I will try to get a picture of exactly what is in a rolling chassis, to clarify.

wow nice progress since I was last on, can't wait to see the panels on it, anyway looking good, Just doesn't look that far off the ground, but I guess it just looks that way, don't remember the ground clearance on it but looks like it should be a blast, bugbite

Thanks,
yes it is sitting low right now. We were expirementing with the low limits for racing on certain tracks.


Some of the body panels are on, and the rest will be put on today.

I had all the panels laser cut,,,,,and they actually all match up perfectly.
This saved a ton of time.

Major milestone yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1st test drive

I am still grinning,,WOW. I think this 2 seater will out perform our single seater with a 600cc in it.

Test drives were great, and we were hammering it around the track. My test track is just under a 1/4 mile long.
Steering was smooth & easy, handling was incredible.
The power of the 1000 is amazing. Very torqy with lots of pull in almost every gear.
Currently it is geared too low,,,,we are running in 4th gear where we used to run in 2nd.
Just need to swap some sprockets around to change the ratio

It was nice to take a few people for some OH SH#T rides and put a grin on their faces too

I will post some pics later when all the panels are on.

More testing today
