Progress has been slow lately, mainly becasue I have been waiting for this to be completed.

Here are the pictures of the rear brake caliper and hanger/spacer completed as previously designed.

Total weight of new brake assembly including pads was 677 grams.
Total weight of original brake assembly excluding pads was 1516 grams.

Roughly a 0.9kg saving of unsprung weight.

Looks like you have more than halved the weight of your rear disk too !
Great stuff .. It looks like factory =D>
If it takes more than 2strokes then your just playing at it..

Yeah the disc and the wheel are lighter too Shaun, glad you like it.

I'll clean it all up, start assembling everything and take some better pictures when I get a sec.

Been a little busy in recent months, so this project had to take a back seat for a while. I am back on it now and did a little work this weekend.

Since I finished the rear brake, I needed to polish the swingarm and start assembling the rolling chassis.

Here's how the rear brake turned out

Here's the complete rolling chassis.

Just messing about with the bodywork today to get the general idea of the look of the bike with its clothes on...

Lozza is trying to talk me into a Rotax 256, but there are a couple of problems I face with this at the moment, so it's probably going to be a high powered KR1-S engine with lots of trickery.
