More Work on the 888

...from a while back...

Some more delicious black-gold from Peter at Oronero...

With a new, lighter and more reliable race loom on the way from Peter, the ECU can be moved to the front of the carbon air runners. This will help with the weight distribution (standard is 50/50) and also allow the use of the Corsa crank case breather box (above). There is a lot of does work/doesn't work chat about the large volume crank breather. The fact that the Corsa bike had  them for years and this is something Cosworth did on all their engines of the era leads me to believe there is something in it... even if only 1 bhp at 10k rpm.

This year I'm using Peter's Corsa velocity stacks and just running with a mesh against the front frame bracing (still to be done) to keep the nasties out. We'll see how this works with new exhaust on the dyno.

Breather box installed - it's a beauty!

Been experimenting with some rear brake reservoirs...

In the end I went with this adapted HRC version. Adding lightness...

I also managed to finally track down some decently priced rear-sets. Second-hand from Rudy in Holland. After a refurb, new bolts and fitting my preferred foot-pegs, they came out a treat. My adapted originals will go into the spares box... always nice to have a back-up!

More lightness added :-)
