Frame with no VIN#

[Grady]

Kevin Elliot responded in very short order (Thanks Kevin!) that it is legal in LWGP, GT Lights and LWF40. I am filling out my license application and sending it in today.
Jim: Yes it was the one on the 13x forum. When the seller put that he would take $9k due to a timing belt failure (he claimed to have $50k in the bike) it took me about 23 seconds to decide to buy it. My intention was to ride it at track days but ya know how that can go.
I live 30 minutes from Summit Point and 5 hours from VIR so I will be doing the Mid Atlantic Region races.
Motor spec is a little vague. He claimed to have $15K in the motor at AMS but has never sent me any receipts or paperwork other than the 96 900 title. I had the bike shipped directly to Donnie Unger @ http://www.ducpond.com/ There are pics of two other Trolls on his website.
The valve had stuck and not damaged the piston. I was very lucky. He measured the bore and it does not have a 944 kit. Odd. Lots of eye candy though and very light. The ad stated the bike was 330 lb ready to ride. I replaced the stock battery with a Power Pulse Lithium battery losing close to another 10 pounds.   
I took it back there after the third track day so he could shoot pics of it with two other Trolls being worked on by him at his shop in Winchester.
in Winchester. AirTech makes bodywork for the SuperMono and a kit to make a 900 supersport look like a Supermono. Time to get some ordered. They will make whatever I need once we give them some measurements. Losing the lights and signals should drop another 5-10 lbs I am guessing.
Thanks for the help you guys. I am really looking forward to 2012!

I thought it would be Thunderbike legal as well. But I guess not. I think the weight rules in Thunderbike are for ASRA Thunderbike and not CCS Thunderbike.

I can't wait to see it at Summit next year.

No dice with Thunderbike. 6.4 THUNDERBIKE - Thunderbike machines, except single cylinder machines, are
based upon production models, sold by manufacturers and their dealers in North

America for street use.


[/size]Same deal as Superbike. I am just glad to be able to run it at all. Three classes is fine. Look for me near the DucPond trailer.

Nice bike!

At MotoCorse in Ft. Lauderdale they are getting 120 RWHP out of the two valves with ease nowadays. My SuperSport legal 1000DS makes 96HP. Before you put too much into the 900 motor you might consider mounting up a DS motor, it's a pretty great platform if you are looking for something to build on....

I would be interested to know how it rides, I love my DS, but my biggest complaint is chassis flex in high speed corners.

Best of luck!

What ever happened with this bike??

[Gino230]

I've seen a few of these titanium framed ducs around. Fast Frank has a Ti Framed Paul Smart. I'm not sure what the advantages are, I guess weight would be one, not so sure about frame flex. These TI frames are pretty pricey.

We tried a few alternatives and ended up building up 848 frames with air cooled motors. There are several of them running in Florida now. We are limited to GT Lights, LWGP with CCS, and F2 in AHRMA. Parts are plentiful and options for customization are endless.

We proposed that any frame and engine combo be allowed as long as displacement limits were met for LWSB, which would let us downsize 748's and / or put an air cooled engine in the 748 or even 848 frame. Waiting on the rules committee.....

SMH.... trying to get the hybrids into LWSBK.....           I'm surprised your buddy Sam hasn't jumped all over this.

That won't happen.  That is why ALL clubs have the GP/Formula classes,  for the builders. The guys who want to mess with engine swaps and custom frames.
