Yes, aluminium of course
Never gave it much thought, could of saved next to no weight at all by carving it out of titanium
I thought the first one was cute and only replaced it because it had started to perish.
I think it was from a genuine Bimota factory door _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

you need to mount it on a plinth as i believe they are extremely rare these days and command a premium from disconcerting buyers......... |

You know that's a Bimota Corse part .... not a lot of the bims have it so it's a piece of history _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

.....Quite day at oily's cave, raining outside, waiting for people to phone me back looks like I've got a couple of hours to spare then .....
.The Mk1 crescent has been on the bench with it's fairing off for a couple of weeks now without any progress and it may soon be going to a new home so it needs to come off the bench, into the corner with a sheet over it but first a couple of little jobs that have been offending me.......
...first, chocolate blocks on the indicator leads....really?...
...soon sort those out. Soldered joints, heat shrink and extend them a bit so they are easier to connect up.....
...job done
Next up, clutch hose is routed wrong. Catches on the fairing when the bars are turned ......
...off with the top yoke to make things easy.....
....re route the hose around the outside of the fork leg.....
and replace the top yoke with loads of copper grease on the bolts...
while we're at it, the reservoir cap bolts really offend me......
...so we better have some nice stainless replacements
......
...that's enough for this one, off the bench and get stuck into the ex-race project
