Pipe is interesting - who makes it? Clearance enough so it doesn't get smashed on skid plate dragging bottom outs?
 
looks lovely! how many fuel cells has it? looks like a big tank with the tank in the rad panels, then there's one in the tail which I trust is a subframe fuel tank?

that looks like drinking water perhaps under the front?
how many litres do you have in total for the Rallye?

have you had the shocks done?
same TCs from new?
have you got a front to back weight ratio?

sorry for all the questions. oh and have you done a load of testing?

regards

Best of luck to you JW! I have seen a few 70deg. rally builds but i must say yours looks like it is ready for production! Very clean build my friend. Taffy please find time to post a pic of your bike so we can see what loads of testing has done for you. Taffys bike has more than 1 shock i guess, seeing how he has requested that little bit of info in his above post.
 
my bike is now back to enduro spec. the clocks and stuff only added about 3KG at the most.

I have bought a spare shock from this site and it gets here today from the USA. it has had a FC sealed rebound seal area done as well as the shock resevior bladder and a re-valve. I shall be testing it against all my own work.

regards

Mooie fiets JW!

Ik kan er helaas niet bij zijn op de 15e ivm de verjaardag van mijn zoontje.

Als je wilt biedt ik je geheel belangeloos mijn Husa aan om wat op te trainen, vering heeft net een beurt gehad, alles staat er vers bij. Weet niet of je nog een fiets hebt nadat je deze naar ZA verscheept hebt.

Veel succes en plezier daar, mocht ik je niet meer spreken :cheers: ,

I have 4 cells i can use as substitutes, it holds 28 liters but i think i will leave out the front tank most ofthe sandy stages. Original tank plus both safaritanks and the 70 degree tank as an extra.

that looks like drinking water perhaps under the front?

Twoo liter for water left, some room for tools richt. Total with 35 cm to protect engine and brake/shift paddle

how many litres do you have in total for the Rallye?

I need 220-250 km, so 20liters is enough.

have you had the shocks done?

Absolutely, both front and rear

same TCs from new?

What is tc?

have you got a front to back weight ratio?

Planto check tomorrow. Estimated 60 kg back and 65 kg front (empty)

sorry for all the questions. oh and have you done a load of testing?

Np, yes i did alot of testing. Just not with the safari reartank,that is new. Will help with balance f/r

Futher;
Steering damper husaberg
Force guards brake disc and radiator
Fan
Condensator
SuperB lithium battery
3 meters of fuell link g
Exhaust by hgs in bolland
Large steps
Self made fairing and nav tower
Md roadbook
2x ico
Speedocap
And the ASO iritrack and gps

Some 150 hours of work ;)

Hi JW with that setup you will need to be careful with your fuel range at Dakar, without a vacum pump to suck the last few litres out you will only have between 26-27 usable litres, on the long sandy big dune stages you will need to watch the fuel so you dont run out,

hope you have a good run see you in Lima cheers

thnx mate actually im thinking to leave the front tank off in the dunes, 20 liters should do 200 km easily
 
hmm the minimum range specified by ASO is 250km racing plus 25km liaison, so 275km, plus that does not allow for any backtracking, getting lost or just plain wandering on the course

good luck
 
at the Breslau I found the biggest killer was a wet day in sand..... it killed the MPG more than anything else I did.

Taffy
 
that is the official number Taffy, but in reality it will be closer to 180 km per stretch, anyway: I wil be carefull, to get lost without fuell is not my favourite foresight :)
