Lloydie's track vtr (miss piggy)

Post by lloydie »

As I've been collecting parts over the last few years now I nearly have enough to build a 2nd bike :-)
Tho this one will be a track day only bike and built from spares I have .
It won't be pretty hence the name miss piggy lol unless I get addicted to it then all the goodies will be put on it and the name will have to change .

My plan for it to begin with is to run a slightly tuned engine in it ie
Hi lift cams/ high comp pistons / a bit of porting and a lightened flywheel also a lidless airbox and my 2-1 exhaust with a titanium can this time :-).
It will only have what's needed fitted to it (less to damage when I fall off it)

I still need body work and wheels and forks but as I hope to fit 08 blade parts to kermit I will have the other for this one or I just may pick up a cheap storms front end I'm still undecided on that one .


This build is going to be a long one for sure a year or two maybe three as when I upgrade the parts on kermit the old ones will be going on this one .so don't expect often updates bit I will try to keep it moving along

So to start off with I started a braced swing arm (thanks Seb for the bits ) I removed the brace from the blade swinger and the calliper slider and also the end bit where the chain adjuster go .
This is where it's at now

I need to get a calliper bracket and a rear spindle then it can go off to the welders in a month .
I'm having bobbins on this one to make it easier when I'm on me own as it won't have a side stand .

A side note... For track use, when I'm on my own, I use a cheapo wheel-chock mounted to a length of tube along the ground for stability... Just roll the front wheel in and get off...

Then you can use abba/front+rear stands of your choice, since you have your hands free... Doesn't mean you shouldn't put spools though...

Squeal like piggy. :lol:

No point in putting a VFR tank on a track bike. You want smaller not more. Unless you thinking of that for Kemit.

good luck with the build matey...... :thumbup:
i might have damaged clocks you can have, its pretty much intact, but iirc it doesn't have a working speedo, and you don't need that for a trackbike.
i'd suggest knocking up a light weight rear subframe, you'd be surpised how much weight you'd save. i also have a damaged rhs fairing if you want it, its in very good condition apart from a extra chunks been taken out around the indicator hole, but seen as you'd be blocking them in anyways.... :thumbup:
i'd go for rattle can matte or satin black, with gold wheels, also rattle can jobbies to keep the costs down..... :wink:
hell i might even have a spare rear spindle knocking around.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
