RidersDiscount Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Oh man I didn't even get that until you mentioned it. I thought Mike was referring to the seat as already being called for referencing the take off sale in the post above his. It's a bit hectic at work...Don't worry, he won't crush your dreams in here. This is a dream crusher free zone. Edited February 6, 2013 by RidersDiscount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they would probably sell it to you on St. Patrick's day for the right price.Check the facebook page. The 2013 model will be raced in round two. The bike pictured is a 2012.I'm not sure if they'll strip the go-fast goodies and put them on the 2013 bike, or just sell the whole lot as a package, but everything is for sale for the right price!

Luckily our sponsors will help us out with parts for both the 12 and 13 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 The parts bin keeps growing as the day goes on.Time for the stock exhaust to go...... And it’s gone.Proper tools make jobs like this a whole lot easier.Stock Brembo's up front? Yes, please. They won't be going anywhere.Grinding down the rivets makes removing the masterlink for the chain quick and easy.The throttle bodies are one of the last pieces to be taken off before the motor can be pulled.Getting closer...

RidersDiscount Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Here’s the motor as it sits now. It’s just waiting on the second bike to be stripped down and then the pair will be sent off to Hanshaw Racing Engines.Pulling the motor left behind a few wires that needed to be cleaned up.Once the wires were gone, we were left with a clean rolling frame.Here’s a nice view of the stock Ohlins TTX shock at the back, through the stock Ohlins forks up from.Next, the forks and wheels were removed.The parts bin is nearly full now that everything has been removed. The second bin is ready for bike number two.Now that the first bike is down to the frame, it’s time to start round two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 A couple more pics from today's progress. Both motors are out and will be sent over to Hanshaw Racing Engines Bike #1 is waiting for a new set of triple clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidersDiscount Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The first bike is now as bare as can be.The shock is out and all bearings will now be serviced.Attack Performance triples are ready to be installed as soon as things start going back together.

shadyone Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper if you could just buy a rolling chassis and motor straight from the factory? Obviously this isn't possible, but it seems like it would be a win win for both party's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidersDiscount Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Now that the first frame has had a thorough service, we can start putting things back together - starting with the Attack triples, and a steering stabilizer from Scotts.Scotts makes a mount kit specifically for the Attack triple clamps and their adjustable offset.

redkow97 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 two words:assembly line. I guess it wouldn't be too much work to pull a bike at X stage of the line, but my guess is that it wouldn't be nearly that simple. You'd have to skip certain steps rather than simply pull the bike off the line at step 10 or whatever.that said, it would be sweet if you could just sort of "un-check" the options you know you're going to replace, that aren't essential for a rolling chassis.buy the bike without bodywork, rearsets, levers, etc. You'd still need to buy the stock triple clamps, or it wouldn't exactly be shipable, but all the street stuff could just not be put on in the first place.

redkow97 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 plus the Daytona Sportbike class is a production-based class. There may be something in the rules that says the bike has to begin life as a 'street legal' machine. It might even have to be subject to some kind of inspection before it leaves the factory.
