Project Tempest UNVEILED Act1 (Drag Spree build)

[burnt_toast]

Thanks for the replies everyone!

noise, cafe seat is cool idea but will tame the look imo, I want this beast to look wild! hahaha and my friend actually came up with a good idea for a custom gas tank that I'm going to look into, post up more laters.

yup I always wondered what I "could" do with a spree too, and seeing some tasty drag setups along with Projectcar mag's latest Honda build really inspired me to go all out

and just for wheelz, see attached

Greetings:

Thanks, BT! Now there's a scooter that'd be easy to carry upstairs for work in the Boudoir! It even has that convenient ergonomic carrying handle. I hope you have a really, really good lock!

That's true, you could just throw it over your shoulder and run up the stairs.

I'll bet that even with the Dio motor, it doesn't weigh much over 100#. The Spree motors are amazingly light; the Dio is probably a 10-15# increase.

bump for one unique project



here's some dio spree ideas for you mookie

Hey Yan what size bore are you using?If your going to drag race that bike you should look into putting a steering damper so you don't get the head shakes because of the riding posture you will be at.

noted. not nearly yet ready for dragstrip so focusing on other things as of now, hope to hit the strip around christmas time

motor is from my red Elite, ministroked polini corsa. but may go with another setup down the line, keeping options open.

why change perfection???

fast? reliable? (expensive) if you decide to ditch the setup, i call dibs on your broken-in corsa

it may not be the absolute limit of the engine, but it'll run for a long time. and i'm pretty sure it'll go faster than a spree (especially with stock brakes) should go.

oh ya misunderstood my friend, i totally LOOOVEE my ministroked corsa

and because of that, the corsa motor is now back at home occupying my red cherry elite which finally saw some riding time today (drag spree sits in garage staring at me scary like )

as far as the drag bike, I'll work on figuring out engine mount fix and aesthetics for comfort then decide on motor options, may donate the corsa again or build up one dedicated for track. it'll be toss up based on money and time, i've got a few shelf goods up my sleeve due date for ACT 2 is set for some time in December, stay tuned
