MonoBoom — one-off for Sport Classic

Posted on February 9, 2012 by motocreations

Pictures from last March 2011 — this one-off MonoBoom for the Sport Classic has been sitting on the storage shelf since. Custom one-off built stepped/oversize headers merged into a 2-1 collector and then routed into a heavily modified factory exhaust can (cored / shortened and repacked). Use of the “factory can” was to keep all legal EPA sound level stampings in case of “visual inspection”.

Is the system “legal” — no. It’s a one-off custom built system. It “might” pass a visual inspection. A few customers we built these for have had zero problems though. Use at your own risk.

A few years ago, we built a few of these MonoBoom 2-1 systems for the S2R800 and S2R1000 using an owner supplied exhaust can or a new MotoCreations exhaust can with our own machined tip configuration. Although I really like them and loved the deep Boom sound — they weren’t popular for some reason. Maybe the marketplace upcoming might be interested now? (if so — let me know)

This single one-off set though is available currently for the mono-version of the Sport Classic. We just need to weld spring clips, ceramic coat (choose either black or titanium color) and then repack the baffle and rivet together. Price is $1850 plus shipping. (note: if system doesn’t sell by end of month, we will entertain offers for it only then)

Zach’s Ducati S4RT Monster

Posted on January 30, 2012 by motocreations

Zach’s Ducati Monster S4RT Monster with larger OD tubing and “eraser tip” (I need a better name for this style! Suggestions?) exhaust outlets. I left this system a bit shorter for extra cornering clearance. Perk of this particular style exhaust tip is we can make the collector system longer (ie: more baffle within to keep quieter) for those considering this option -vs- our traditional other flare tip outlet styles.

One of the unique things about Zach’s Monster if you look close is the ceramic coated swingarm, rearsets and other items. I like this better than the traditional silver color via Ducati.

The Doors

update: Power is still out (200K+ people) in the Northwest. Hopefully we will be back to work upcoming.

Volkswagen doors for the Coachcraft VW Project

Did discover a set of Volkswagen Type 1 doors for the Coachcraft VW Project for myself. This obviously were the handpainted Bicentenial Edition ones! (no rust and all parts are there) Still needing more 1950-1957 VW parts ala lights, grooved bumpers, semaphores and more. If you have something interesting, let me know!



Three sets of valve covers

Any Volkswagen enthusiast tell me more about the valve covers shown? Also still looking for early VW vintage speed equipment, a “honeypot” oil cooler and a sandcast ribbed style belt cover.

None were Ducati powered…

Posted on January 13, 2012 by motocreations

Looking back at the history of the fastest motorcycles that have run for landspeed record attempts — none were Ducati powered. (although there are some 50′s era records set by Ducati racers in the small displacement classes in Europe)

Remember that cavaets of running at the Bonneville Salt Flats: typically the air can be very warm in late August (less horsepower); elevation (@4218 ft above sea level); and of course wind and course conditions itself. Oh yeah — running an engine wide-open-throttle for a few minutes — easier said then done. A few people have commented that it would be easy to do 250+mph with an 1198R or Desmosedichi with some additional fairings attached. I doubt they would survive a pass or two at most.

Also getting into the 200mph club requires setting a “class record”. First you need to exceed the speed of an existing record to get invited to make the followup pass that is then averaged with the first. It would be easy to be the “fastest Ducati” but it would be an unofficial status only as it wasn’t a “record” within a class parameter. The goal is to be “official”.
