Drive;

It's powered by a 2011 CBR250R engine and transmission and will have a shift lever between the seats with the clutch lever attached to the shift lever. Steering and brakes are VW with disc upgrade at the front and a harley caliper and rotor at the rear, both controlled by a foot operated master cylinder, probably a VW dual chamber type. Foot gas pedal of conventional configuration. Both gas pedal and shifter-clutch controls will be connected to the original CBR 250R controls by push-pull rods maintaining the factory controls to a connection point.


Noise abatement;

Sound deadening material on the inside of the body panels, insulation over that, then an interior made from luan (thin plywood) with aluminum connectors screwed into the structure for rigidity.

Visibility:

Va requires one outside mirror. I plan on mouting one just behind and above the windshield, a 14 inch wide angle panoramic view mirror , behind an aerodynamic cover. The top just behind the mirror will be clear lexan as well as most of the gullwing door surfaces, with additional panels behind the rear roll bar. Visibility should be exceptional including traffic light observation.

regards
Mech
