EGLI frame, TR1 engine, build from scratch

Thanks all for the compliments ;D

There has been some progress as well, the engine keeps running by itself which is a good thing of course! It leaks a bit of oil through a "sensor mounting hole" so that's next and I think the silencer is not flowing enough... the exhaust is extremely hot in 30 seconds, so for testing I'll mount a more OPEN exhaust ;D In the end it has to silence again because of the "road test" by authorities.

Best regards,

Loek

This was a true build project, not merely an assembly of parts. Always my "go to" read. It would nice to see the final edition. I'm sure the bike will have been completed it was too close not to. The other interesting item it was to be put to the test on the track, Spa no less.
Cheers, 50gary
 
Funny how life so often seems to catch up to us isn't it. I remember a near promise of a trellis frame for the next project so here's hoping this one is being sorted.
 
Yes, lets hope it is completed soon; has to be top ten all time builds on DTT!! Incredibly ambitious build with so many departures form the safe path.
 
Sorry guys.....

I forget to update this topic as regular as the dutch one i'm writing as well...... But a very big thanks to the people who are still reading it!

Lots of things happened in the meantime. Some not very possitive, others as planned.
First of all the project is still very much alive ;D although not exactly as planned. Decided to ditch the EFI for a while.... it's not working as good as I hoped for and the ECU keeps "burning" itself up.

So different ignition from ignitech (it works with the standard pick-ups of the TR1 and is tunable via laptop) and back to standard carbs (rebuilt).

The engine has run on it's stand and works like a dream :) At this moment I'm working towards a first test "drive" of the rolling chassis. It should go on the dyno soon to set up carbs and see where we stand in terms of POWER ;)

By the way, it's not me in the movies. That's the carburetor wizzard!
I'll post pictures very soon!

Hellothere!

It's picture time! A lot has happened since the stupid EFI thing blew up again. It's not a bad system but for now it doesn't work or I can't get it working the right way.... so big decision was made... back to carbs and a different ignition system from ignitech. otherwise the project had not nearly enough progress.

So enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask the questions if needed ;)

Back to standard carbs....

Better breathing exhaust silencer:

Split the exhaust for easier mounting:
IMAG1023_BURST001.jpg


Standard rebuilt carbs and a start for the wiring of the ignitech system:
IMAG1022_BURST002_COVER.jpg


Ignitech system, wich is BRILLIANT so far ;D easy install, works withe the standard pick-ups and is fully programmable
IMAG1020.jpg


System fully wired for first try:
IMAG1019_BURST004.jpg


First start.... mixture is a bit wrong :eek: see the videos for setting the carbs right.
IMAG1036.jpg


Engine back in frame after succesfully setting the carbs. I'm buiilding it to rolling chassis for dyno and "street" testing:
IMAG1039.jpg


Mounting of a new 530 front sprocket.... no standard solution so you make something for it....
IMAG1093.jpg


Sprocket in place:
IMAG1138.jpg


Rear brake assembly finished:
IMAG1139.jpg


Wiring almost finished, big red for starter motor, small yellow for starter clutch mechanism:
IMAG1142.jpg


And finally some spark makers in place ;)
IMAG1145.jpg


Phew a lot of pictures.... what needs to be done for dyno and "road testing":
- some nuts and bolts
- chain tensioners and chain
- some engine ventilation hoses, or how do you call them?
- a bit of wiring, the least bit of buttons I want on the handlebars is ignition on/off and starter
- shorten silencer and refill for the right sound
- temporary small gas tank
- CHECK, CHECK and DUBBELCHECK

And then go for it!

Best regards,

Loek
 
That rear brake isn't actually finished is it? I mean, you've come so far, but now you're going to rely on a brake push rod that has a bend it?

Agreed ;)
Make a longer pivot

This thing is all sorts of badass. I can't wait to see it finished

Hi Savor,

Uuhhhh.... yes I'm sorry.... It's actually quite strong. It won't bend under force of braking I promise ;D. It's not even an inch long. And above that, the shift link rod has two bends in it and is much longer. They both feel rock solid. The applied forces are just not that big.

A lot of "cool" things actually have bends in them don't they ;) I'm sure you can find some.

And now serious.... Thanks for the comment. Ik like it when people look at it from a "critical" point of view. But in this situation I'll try it as is and keep your comment in mind when it needs improvement.

Best regards,

Loek
 
Shift linkage is one thing, your brakes are something completely different. But hey, it's your funeral not mine.

I agree it doesn't look great with the bend on the threaded part of the rod but why would it be his funeral. Do you realise how much force is required to bend that rod? The only issue I see is that it doesn't get a straight push from the arm on the pedal, but considering the small distance that it moves anyway it would not really have much negative effect.
 
Agreed, as well the rear brake plays only a marginal part of over all braking performance. More for settling the chassis in prep for a corner. At least in my case I rarely use the rear for actual stopping. If it was a drilled out machined link nobody woulda said anything.
 
this is really cool, as far as the brake, I'd say put some more time into it and align the axis of the m.c. with the tangent of the arm, with so much quality work on the rest of the bike it seems rushed
 
allright, allright.... before the bike enters it's first race ;) I'll look into it. Although function and strength wise there's nothing wrong with it. The looks are not unimportant, I have to admit. A bit strange that someone spots this small "defect" while there's a TON of work and details that need to be sorted or improved on the bike.... this detail was not on my list of improvements to be made for sure! I'll put it on.

I'll keep you all informed in the near future :)

Best regards,

Loek
 
Hi all,

Had some time left to "finish" the electrics. Goal is to get it on the dyno as a rolling chassis to do some carb tuning ;D
Sound is a bit to much without muffler, the mic of the camera can't keep up.... Stationary running is ok, but on the throttle it sure needs work!

Hey Loek - know you're busy, but any more updates ?

I check your build out every so often to spur me on with my own humble efforts !!
 
Hey guys,

More than two years since my last post... I thought to let you now how it "finished" or at least how it looks today.

Still no paint but a lot happened in two years! The bike had it's first track outing last month and I drove with a big smile all day long, it performed better than expected in terms of handling. I learnt a lot that day and really enjoyed driving it amongst all the modern japanese supersports. Almost all the other bikes were out accelerating me by quite a margin. But while braking, turning in and carrying speed trough a corner the difference was a lot less than I expected.

All in all very satisfied after all these years ;-)

Well that's it....

Construction is more or less finished.... now the development proces starts! plans are endless als always. Maybe i'll start a new thread in the race ready section to write about that a bit.....
