More About Rae-San

The backdrop image throughout the site is one of my earlier builds – it was a CX500 that came in pieces – not enough pieces to be worth making into a standard CX.

So instead it got converted into the bike you see – named ‘Storm’.
The significant features were-

CBR600RR undertail exhaust
Engine was a 500EC engine
Turned aluminium cover inserts on the sides
VF750F footpegs
Marzocchi rebuild shocks with 7W oil
Custom built “collector” exhaust riser and modified headers
Cx900C fork stanchions with CB900C fork lowers to remove antidive
32mm dual piston calipers
Hyosung GV650 Master Cylinder 5/8
Twin Horns
Trail bike headlight – combined with the thick gauge, MOSFET switched dedicated power run – amazingly bright!
CDI PSU
SP7 from DanMoto dash
Entire loom was custom made to allow for high current runs to the horns and headlights
Headlight on horn switching via MOSFET and master and slave power via 30A relays
No high current through the ignition switch
Battery from 2 5VA 12V SLA batteries
Electronic tacho
And lots of little extra bits
Carbs rebuild, jetted at 90/120 via EGO analyser
Higher rate front springs and 15W fork oil

Painted in 3 coats pearl white with silver striping.

This bike felt really light compared to a standard CX and would lift the front wheel readily.
Handled nicely with the suspension setup – sold to fund more projects.

This is what it’s about.Passion to make what you want to ride.
