So I’ve decided to go all out and do a build that doesn’t happen too often. Top to bottom. Front to back. This will be a top shelf build with choice rare race parts as well as custom one off machined parts. This is gonna be good. Probably gonna take 6 months to complete. I’ll post some stuff as I go. Stay tuned
Just scored these. Showa BPFs for the 1125rr race bike. These have NEVER been installed! Brand new! To find these not installed on a race bike is insane. And to find them brand new? I still don't believe it!
Fully restored Magnesium XB Race Wheels. Ceramic bearings, Titanium hardware, billet rear pulley, Race rear rotor. I'll also be machining Titanium axles for this project.
I machined a Titanium bolt and washer for my front engine sprocket. Lots of weight savings bolted directly to the crank

I’m pretty confident a new Walbro pump with the 65 psi fuel pressure regulator and 60lb injectors will be enough to run E85.
I ordered an E85 fuel test kit. I’ll be testing the fuel at the station down the street and recording the ethanol levels over the next couple months to see how much they vary. If they vary too much, I mite mix my own Ethanol fuel , so it will be consistent for the tune.
Just did some ball park math. I could possibly save 3/4 of a lb off the wheels by running titanium axles.
1/2lb on the rear and 1/4 on the front.
I’m seriously considering swapping every piece of hardware on the bike for titanium also. I’ll probably do that. Probably get another 2 lbs from that. I really want to be under 400lbs with a full tank of fuel.
