jj65 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Has his bike got a new engine, clutch cover looks much bigger tha previous ones (although it's not got the carbon cover usually used. I know they've junked last years clutch, maybe this is what the RR will have !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I heard they placed covers around it to hide its a ex-spare raga bike, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sorry but apart from the colour and the missing carbon protector, I don't see any difference. Maybe it's just the lighter colour and the missing protector, that make it seem bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Might it be machined from billet rather than the standard cast item? They can make them thinner, lighter and stronger this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinner AND lighter AND stronger. Wash your mouth out! Of course you are right daoff the bikes of Fuji and bou are special one offs with plenty of billet parts and have been for 10 years since Dougie was on the bikes too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadof2 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thinner, lighter and stronger yes, but at what price? Some former colleagues used to machine aluminium alloy aircraft parts from billet or forgings, very impressive the parts were, cheap they were not.
