My Motovert Minimotard project

[penumbra]

I'm building a minimotard based on a Motovert pro '07

now that things begin to get going I decided to post it here.

I 'll skip all the problems I had to make everything fit and just start with the rolling frame and the engine being mounted.

and now it looks like this :

 

[coolmodee01]

engine looks to have a fair bit off trickery happening

i like

will be good to see the finished product

 

[MasterSpoon]

nice

yeah engine looks like has some stuff done, liking the exhaust
Looks like a pretty decent front brake setup also, spill the beans what is it ?

 

[corey58]

124 se take?

 

[penumbra]

it's the new takegawa 138cc complete engine with automatic decompression.
the exhaust is handmade by a local exhaust wizzard here in belgium.

The front brake is a radial master brake cilinder of a derbi supermotard (13mm diameter), the brake caliper is a dual piston one from a 125 -250 cc mx bike (tocico)

The other parts are being deliverd bit by bit so I'll keep you guys posted when anything changes

well here are some other pictures I have on my computer..

and here a closer look at the engine :

as for the rake: It has slighter more rake then the BBR frame I compared it with but nothing extreme...

so nice i should of bought a motovert!! but owell it looks nice..

what made u pick the motovert frame over a BBR frame or similar?

 

[penumbra]

I did want an aluminium frame, so that did limit the number of possibilities.
And second I didn't want a perimeter frame so i could easily acces the carb between races / heats,...

and indeed the rake of this bike is a bit more so it's a bit more stable then a bbr ( we ride 10" here in belgium so a bit of extra stability won't hurt

also because I haven't see many motovert pro 's like this being build as a minimotard...and I like to be a bit different and i do love the form of the frame

 

[Sabertooth_buterfly]

thats an awsome looking build, I have looked at that frame to maybe when i'm rich and decide to build another tard. looking forward to seeing the finished bike

[jakey]

awesome!
very costly?

 

[crazzy #1]

cheaper then a bbr

 

[penumbra]

awesome!
very costly?

If I make a quick calculation I'm around 6000 euro's

I'll take some pictures of the front brake this afternoon and post them..

 

[penumbra]

here some close ups of the brake system as someone requested

 

[penumbra]

and here another update of the progress of my project

today I added a gear shifter, short takegawa intake manifold and Kitaco throttle assy and carburator : a Keihin PWK 28 mm D-slide carburetor ( a real one and not one of those cheap replica's that seam to be sold everywhere these days)

and here with K&N airfilter

Looks like this now : ( sorry for the bad photo and the mess in my garage )

That is effing sweett! nice work, when will she be finished?

 

[penumbra]

I'm still waiting for some parts..when they arrive and installed she 'll be ready..

things to come:

takegawa inner rotor racing ignition, oil cooler, oil thermostat, kickstarter, kill switch, plastics and sponsors sticker kit.

Then I can start to brake her in (any suggestions to brake in Takegawa engines? )

 

[corey58]

same as any other motor also they love good fresh oil

 

[suzuki man]

man thats a nice bike cant wayt to see it finished

 

[pickles09]

should come up nicely looks sik!!
