Franco's Kit Form Fireblade. HRC bling for the BSB Superstock build. Arrow exhaust, Bitubo, Ohlins

[@andrewmack2161]

I assume you chanted the 'electric magic gods' chant whilst fitting the loom. Pure coincidence that the chant sounds exactly like curse words.... 😁

[@Oilyhands749]

They warm the wiring harness up in a low bake oven at Bentley just before fitting.Makes it much easier to fit. Really enjoying this build, access to stuff in my dream world! Carry on with the cheese and jam👌

I used to install Carpet and vinyl flooring, and we would do sort of the same. We would either ask the home owner if it was an occupied job, or the apartments manager to have the heat blasting so that when we came in early in the morning and dropped the new material it could acclimate and loosen up. It made the vinyl much less likely to tear (this work with auto wrap too as weve seen) and the carpet more pliable for a tighter fit and ultimately a better longer lasting installation. If you install carpet in a very cold area, and then the new owners come in and cranks the heat, its gets loose. This results in lumps/waves in the carpet sometimes, or even it releasing form the tack strip along the walls.

Cheers for the plug for my handy brackets Dave 😂👍

[@obsession_engineering]

They are very handy!!

[@stevemorris289]

Say hi to Boastie for me! Havnt seen him since he was doing an MSV day at Cadwell and before that Ron Haslam School Looks like a top job on the Fireblade.

[@stuartrobertson8851]

So interesting and amusing watching the build and the decisions being made. Will be great to see the testing and Franco’s input.

[@Skid2933]

Nice work Wavey, you and Boastie are doing a cracking job...looks like you're on schedule for testing. Catch up early next week at your workshop if you're around, I'll bring suitable cake👍

[@james5553]

This is such a gem of a channel. Off to do the valve clearances on my RSV1000 that I have been putting off. Cannot wait to see this bike in testing.

[@mattmid7012]

Really enjoying these videos, great to see it all coming together. Forgot to film the cake though 😁

[@nitramh24]

You guys seem to be having loads of fun😀👍 Great content, looking forward to the next episode in this series👍

[@stephenbeamis1151]

This build is brilliant and the wiring loom is just amazing love all those little HRC bags like one of the earlier comments said about the instruction manual I'd be framing them you can't beat a bit of factory bling 😉

[@stevesanelli90]

What an awesome experience Dave! A maze looking like you’re getting through it💪💪 This is going to be incredible to witness racing around the track👌 Well done to everyone at OE🙌

[@paulhenry1387]

Great to watch Franco's bike coming together. Can't wait for testing & the start of the season.

[@chrisbowman4487]

Great video Dave love all the technical stuff

[@strobegaming4981]

Great video showing love from New York keep up with the good content !!

[@zxgopher]

Sam’s Palmer’s brackets are superb. If you contact him he will make bespoke brackets also 👍

[@argieessex]

Great video. Love this content.

[@Backyard_Racing]

I love this stuff

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Nice watching this come along. Dave, is that GSX in the background spoken for? I had the 400 as a cheap runaround in the 90's. Would like another for nostalgia sakes 😄

[@obsession_engineering]

That's Pete in the office's 'project' Though if it doesn't move soon I'd happily sell it 🤣

[@5thgearouttahere]

£95 Dave because they know a tragic like me would frame it! Factory spec baby 😅🤓 All the best from Australia *edit* Fascinating they're still using RS232 connectors. Hope you can show us the damper sensors when you've got them installed.

[@obsession_engineering]

It would fit a frame surprisingly well 🤔

[@kennethszpindor1723]

I love to see my bit of sponsorship money some good and seeing a comedy show going on with you and pete I just hope Franco was not watching he will be pulling his hair out you certainly not marvel super heroes you and Pete but good to watch both good luck Franco

[@obsession_engineering]

Big thanks for joining us for the journey 😁

[@kennethszpindor1723]

@Obsession Engineering it's a pleasure dave

[@crossplaneloverkuldeep93]

Which is better arrow or akrapovic

[@obsession_engineering]

Both are excellent quality. I've used both over the years and I'd say they're equal, but the arrow tends to be better priced and the silencers are more durable

[@grahamsmith8122]

Superstock? In my day you just to one out of the crate and changed the tyres. Bloody ridiculous.

[@obsession_engineering]

I do rather agree it's not really superstock anymore. Data logging and expensive electronics cross the line for me. But obviously we have to build the best bike possible for Franco

[@teamfourteenracing9023]

So... how was the cake and cheese?!

[@obsession_engineering]

Not bad at all. Lots of flavours, all at the same time

[@MatelotsousMarin]

Gas turbines?

[@obsession_engineering]

My old job, servicing and installation of industrial gas turbines

[@MatelotsousMarin]

Cool, gotta pay them bills.

[@vertski]

@@obsession_engineering Your old job? TB5000's in shit holes need you Dave

[@beauzo9965]

Where's the cake and cheese

[@NudaMan]

Titanium headers, and the arrow link pipe is stainless steel so it’ll make a nice brownish copper color, still looks nice but we all do love the blue from Titanium 🥲

[@obsession_engineering]

It's definitely all ti not stainless, just not sure how they achieved the finish
