How cool is this?<br />
All parts are one of a kind, handmade from aluminium and stainless<br />
steel.<br />
The hydraulic master cylinders are mounted under the tank, controlled<br />
via cables by reverse levers. Clutch, brake, throttle cable and wiring<br />
are all hidden in the bars. The rear brake master cylinder is modified to<br />
function inboard.<br />
To achieve the bottom silhouette, the exhaust is contained in front of<br />
the engine, exiting on the bottom on either side.<br />
For engine cooling purpose the hot air is vented through multiple holes<br />
on the bottom of the panels , with one in front of the rear wheel.<br />
There are also vents on top of the tank to prevent hot air from pooling<br />
inside the fairing, which adds up to double the outlet vs. inlet area.<br />
The Oil cooler is moved to rear of the left foot peg, enclosed in an inlet<br />
scoop.<br />
A 5” fan is added and ducted to vent out the bottom in order to aid in<br />
cooling.<br />
All electrical components are shrouded and fed cold air from around<br />
headlight, via a ducted fan, keeping a positive pressure and preventing<br />
hot air from entering. The suspension and motor is all standard R9T.<br />
And yes – you can ride it. It is not just a showpiece.<br />
This once-off special is up for sale. Interested? Or looking for some<br />
