Great job

I supose you expect a better front end?

I see that we are working the same way on our JBB METISS :

Have a look at our GSXR conversion and welcome to the "funny front end" factory ! [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 241515

To be Honest the stock ZX10R has an extremely capable front end...those forks are quite good as they are ,for me at least.....but yes I feel that a funny front end can be better in some areas....

Great minds think alike [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 809262

That is some very nice engineering and to such a high standard.....

I was at the 2011 Le Mans 24H and I spent quite some time looking at the Metiss as you were preparing it...inspirational [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 771973

Frame ready for welding.

Very nice

We all want your project to move forward!

What about the two washers used as a spacer?

Probably to use a good thread length on the rod, I suppose [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 55116

The two .2mm shims are to fine tune the seating of the machined assembly onto the frame...getting the angle just right.

Modifying a TTX Ohlins shock to suit the Hossack front.....lengthening the stroke...fitting a lighter spring...revalving comp and reb to and fitting a new topout spring to suit.

Doing a quick trial fit of the new shock before welding.....fits perfect so far....

Hi Hi! I spoke about the white washers, not the black ones. [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 8464

The thickness of the shock absorber bracket shows how light is the mechanical stress transmitted to the frame compared to the fork.

Yes...this is using a low motion ratio and just transmitting suspension loads where as a fork is transmitting both suspension and structural loads.....and the teleforks due to its leverage length greatly magnifies these loads compared to a Hossack design for instance.

Frame welding is done...always a relief as this part makes or breaks a project.

Came out of the Jig really easy which is a good sign of dimensional stability and weighed it at 9.5kg which is half a kilo lighter than the original frame.....well done.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

Hi Laurence,

When you write "lighter" you think softer or with a lighter material ?

Thanks.
Francis.

Lighter as in a lower/softer spring rate.

some more progress...upper and lower arms fitted and upper shock mount....so far so good.

Very nice.
It look so easy when the job has been done by an artist... [Technique chassis] Hossack ZX10R 771973
