Check out this German built 560 enduro hot rod. Notice that it uses the old chassis. Here's what it says on OFFROAD CHAMPIONS; Maser Thomas, head of the official Husqvarna Enduro team in the German and former mechanic of Anders Eriksson, has now again built a bike for Stefan Hau. Different geometric, 560 cc, changed motor characteristics, double exhaust, different cooling system and many carbon fiber parts.
I posted this in the 4 stroke section yesterday. Wrong section or not much interest in it. Cool Bike if you ask me.
I'd like to know how they grew to 560cc from the DOHC engine case - if the stroke was not increased I'd be interested in doing one myself. MAT
I am a big bore 4T fan, always have been. I would love to be riding a 560 TE. My friends would be even MORE bummed.
Do you think that's a carbon fiber rear mud flap? (Pic 11) Might endure a little more than the plastic one.
Yes, FBF use to have those, but I don't know if they still do. There where also listed in the shop manual for the SM's as an upgarde. As far as the size goes, they may have access to motor parts from the new 630 motors that are coming out. ?????
I also ride in the german Husqvarna team for Thomas Mäser (and designed the whole decals). The bike is really hot. The engine has a longer stroke to reach the 560cc. The rear mud flap is carbon fiber, I think it's a SMRR part. And in Germany we need the horn, turnlights and a mirror for racing in German Enduro Champinship. In most cases horn and mirror get "lost" after tecnical control. Regards Stefan
I wonder if the extra cubes will affect the big-end? I've stroked out a few big-bore jap bikes with limited success in the reliability department. Sure, they went well but one of them tried to push the crank out through the case, another cracked the casings from the journal all the way back to the gearbox. Running up to 14:1 compression and avgas probably didn't help too much either
Nice looking bike. Where did you get that mud flap for the front fender? Also, how much does the bike weigh? David
The mud flap is simply an other front fender, I think a model from Ufo (same form as the old Husky fenders). It's cut to form and fixed on the original fender. The weight I don't know, sorry. Regards Stefan
