I stand corrected.
Yeah I know manufacturers fudge HP figures
they've been doing it forever & will continue
to suit insurance or race homologation purposes.
Hi.

Hi there.

Gear- and brake-lever, backside still anodised on both and they have rollerbearings.
Late night work in front of the tele..;
Chainguard of a ZXR 750 -92, modified to fit a Aprilia RS 250 -98 "banana"-swingarm and to be mounted on the inside of the swingarm
:
Chainguard from the side :
Turbo connection pipe of a SAAB 900 turbo (Swedish car,,) modified and lathed in both ends for mounting siliconhoses later.
Will be mounted so it can be seen..
And thats all for now, folks.
Nighty night,,its 22.35 here,![]()
hi . looking great . anymore updates
Hi there everybody and sorry about nothings happening in here, but have had some sad accidents in the family so i havent been to keen on anything,,but its better now.
To answer you correctly, then : Yes, Ohlins Racing is located in Sweden but not in Uppsala, even though it is not very far from Uppsala,about 25-30 miles where its located in a suburb to Stockholm, named Upplands Väsby.
If in Stockholm, just take the E4 northbound for Uppsala/Sundsvall and you'll be there in no time.
Just in case you're in Sweden sometime.
"I'll be back".
Cheers Frostie.
Isn't that where Ghostrider did his 65km's in 15 minute run? (three times)
Hi.
Correctly, it was between Stockholm and Uppsala he did his ludacris driving.
And that should add op to an average speed of 260 km/h.!!!
But in fact they measured it from the edge of downtown Stockholm to the edge of downtown Uppsala,,and i am pretty sure thats NOT 65 km,,,maybe 60 km,,but impressive anyway, or wharever one will call it.:-)
Cheers Frostie.
Whatz the update ?
Thread seems to be dead?
Hi there.
Yes, i know its been a bit slow here, but things has happened.
The Suzuki RGV 250 frame is sold so now the choice is between a GSXR 1100 -89 frame (the polished one from my 1255 turbobike) or a newer Suzuki GSXR 750 SRAD -96 frame.
Its leaning towards the 1100 frame because in the 750 frame, the engine (originally) is being used as a part of the frame and thats difficult to do with an RZ 350 engine because of its rubbermounting and, besides, with the 1100 frame i can use the frontfork, wheels and the Aprilia RS 250 swingarm from my 1255 turbobike,,so,,
Will be back soon with more news.
Cheers.
Frostie.
