TreMoto are still Vaporware


We're T minus 37 days and still vaporware. But that's ok cause we got:

6061   This foot x foot billet will make both the uprights, both outer spring-end pacmen and some other misc bits. My machinist's assistant asked if we were going to make the race. If it's in my hands we will!

Some minor hop-up mods. We'll be running K&N quad-pods, a Dynojet Power Commander (for altitude adjustment) and a 4-1 ZX9-style exhaust. It should make 125hp at sea level, but at 14k feet that wheezes to about 82hp.

Center rocker fitup check. It's tight in critical areas, as it should be with any optimized design. We will undoubtedly be fitgeting around with spacers and fasteners to get it all working optimally,  initial impression we have our design targets quite close. When will flex-form.com bring the leaf spring? Where are the tie rods? These things keep us up at night, so at least there's no worry about the mountain!
We also have 430mm of rubber on the road. Know of any bikes that can say that?
All right, enough trash talk, Lots of items still to cross off the whiteboard and control arms to build...
