hmmm, those pics look suspiciously like fry's personal steed. Fry does have a couple of pics in his gallery of the factory bikes too.
 
re: goofed pics?

Hi tm and tim,

I may have goofed on the pics to post. Fry asked me to post the pics for him due to the goofy posting code, but wasn't clear on which ones to post.

thanks,

try these:
Six Days 04 078
cccarlson's chase bike (Six Days 04 045)
they are the two photos of bikes with aluminum tanks, pictures 4 and 6 of 23, respectively
This is assuming that you are taking photos from his gallery
 
RE: maybe now it's right :)

thanks tm, we'll see if this is what he wanted.

thanks,

Who owns the bike?

Some KTM plastic on it and similar tank. This bike isn't so wide, isn't it?
 
somewhere i've posted a link to a test done by TBM magazine here in the UK on the factory 505-can't remember where i put it though.

anyone remember?

If you are refering to the first pic, it is a Akropovic full exhaust. Notice the name on the can.

The link works for me, I just checked it. It should send you to a web page listing 7 or 8 *.jpg files. You must open each one individually.

I am finally here.

I feel like I'm on a Chevy Chase Vacation only it is real life. My computor bonked and then someone dug a big hole and cut my telphone line, so my internet time as of late ( as you have well noticed) has been nonexistant.

Thank you for posting this up and for the instruction. And sorry for the delay in responding.

Calsons Bike #150 had the Akrapovic exhaust, large header pipes, and even larger can.

The tank was handbuilt in Italy for less than what it costs to buy an aftermarket plastic tank. And NO it is not available. I tried, dead end street.

The factory bikes and the race team rental bikes had the KTM fender exstension in place of the OEM dorky thing. Looks good, serves the rule book and does not hang to the ground or fall off. Simply zip tied into place.

NOBODY from Europe ran steering stabalizers. That good factory WP suspension must work.

Bjorne's bike is sitting in his work area, just prior to reimpounding before for the final moto, which did not happen. Notice that he has mounted another new rear tire, just for the moto. The tire he replaced only had 70 km on it. A sign of their commitment and how many seconds after 6 days of racing a tire can make in the final moto.

Sign Works in Fort St John, British Columbia made my graphics. High quality. I'll find their website address and post it.

The 505 uses a 100 mm piston with a custom 64 mm (?) crank. Similar hp as the 550 but lighter feeling. They use a programable ignition, so they can change the power curve to suit the terrain or rider.



Has anyone looked at the new 250 KTM factory bike? Very bergish.

Apparently some big thunder to come from the Scandinavian gods in a year or two.

Also

They rana 19mm hose from the crank vent spigot and routed it down behind the rad on the rh side. Nothing fancy and when tied to the frame tube is not and obvious add on.

The plastic sprocket cover is required by FIM rules, but does trap mud etc. So they cut it on the horizontal line that is in the plastic, using only the top fastener, some of the bikes had holes in the remaining plastic, some did not.
