Thinwall chromoly is a beautiful thing. As of now the frame weighs 23lbs. It just looks heavy. Only a few pounds heavier than a production zero frame, and more torsionally rigid, which Is crucial for a supermoto.

Almost there! Suspension is final, just needs controller mount, seat and wiring.

Today I made the faux gas tank, and got the seat mocked up. Starting to look like a bike now!

I am temporarily pausing college to work on this, but still getting an education in a way that I seem to learn better, by surrounding my self with people much smarter than I, and trying to do things just out of my reach. Partially winging it, partially repurposing other things, and combining all of it into something that works best for what I need. Speaking of repurposing, I got the chargers on and running. Four series/paralell Meanwell HLG 320s wired 2s2p. For around 1.3 kw of weatherproof potted charger.

Looking great Farfle! I like the new frame a lot more. Do you plan gussets at the head tube? Very interesting rear suspension, neat and out of the way. I hope it works like you plan, because I want to borrow from it.
Since you have on board chargers and big travel forks, does that mean it's now for riding more than racing?

Yes. There is a new motor in the works. It should be stupid fast. Also, more street legal.

Any news on the bike/motor? My favourite bike of all, I love reading through the evolution over time.
