Proto Ktm 490

A motorbike earlier beingness spot into production is e'er preceded yesteryear a epitome that makes fans dream, also bad that inwards the production stage many of the stylistic solutions are lost.
Geoffrey POUPENEY, too, was struck yesteryear what KTM presented for his 790, only decided to build his ain special. The next is the storey that tells the project, told yesteryear Geoffrey

For the description of the project, when KTM had showed the epitome of the 790 DUKE, I was crazy nearly this cycle only yesteryear seeing spyshots of the production type, i was less motivated in addition to thence i decided to exercise a sort of this epitome myself.

I took the frame of my onetime KTM 450 EXC in addition to a 525 EXC engine, my KTM mechanical agent has gave me wheels of a Duke 690 in addition to i started the project. Because of the mix betwixt 450 frame in addition to 525 engine, the advert 490 Duke was logic to me.

 I possess got adapted many KTM parts similar the consummate front end intermission alongside brake organisation of a Superduke 990 R only that was the most slow to do.

The showtime large business office is the aluminium swingarm, i possess got designed it on CAD system, parts of it were machined yesteryear Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation & watercutting, a colleague has welded parts togerther. 

The instant large business office is the aluminium subframe which include the air intake. I larn dorsum to the CAD organisation in addition to a friend of the forum STREETMONSTERS has machined side panels, i role over again Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation & watercutting for parts in addition to my colleague has welded parts.

With that parts the chassis is complete.

My colleague who's similar to welded not ordinary parts plant hard on the exhaust pipes organisation inwards stainless steel.

The residue of the cycle was the most hard matter to do. I possess got sculpted the consummate bodywork in addition to i gave it to JERSEN COMPOSITE to larn inwards in carbon fiber, at that spot was a lot of parts similar headlight fairing, cooling side panels, seat, airbox, undertail fairings, tank comprehend in addition to fuel tank. It took a lot of fourth dimension manufactured it.

I would similar to nation a bully give thank y'all you to all people who had helped me to exercise this project, Julien Steulet, Beca, Fabio Cardicchi (Cardicchi.ch), Jérôme Senmartin (Jersen.fr), Franck Breton, in addition to my KTM agent squad Jean Michel Resch, Joffrey Luttringer in addition to Fred Kuttler (Kuttler.fr).
