The Smith Sisters have been hard at work are now well on their way to getting the bike ready for the first Supermono round at Pembrey. As they are now getting on a bit the Smiths have invested in a hydraulic work bench to ease their aching bones! You can see the bike has been completely stripped back to the bare frame and it is to be sent away to be painted, then the full rebuild can begin. Lyndon Poskitt is currently building the engine and there could be some surprises here. It may be a larger cc and it may have a close ratio gearbox. I say it may as we have a few things to try on the motor and at this point we don't want to give too much away but we are hopeful the results will be good and a a couple more bhp to the bike. The most we have previously seen from the Honda 450 engine was 62hp at the rear wheel so fingers crossed we can get a bit more than this. One of the things you have to love of the bike is the carbon wheels and all the attention to detail. The dry brake couplings will be swapped over to the products of our sponsor Goodridge as soon as we get get them ordered.
