I’m putting together a Goblin to drive back and forth to work (3 whopping miles each way). I have a KTM Enduro 690 bike that hasn’t been getting much use because I’ve had too many close calls. I wanted something with a steel cage, but still runs like a scalded hog. Might be fun to take it to the track, but more interested in something to take down curvy backroads after work or when I feel my inner kid screaming for a go-kart ride.
Doing the F40 swap for my build since I eventually plan to drop in a ridiculously overtuned engine.
Anyway, donor is completely stripped and the husk is polluting my friend’s trailer (scrappers want the title, but I’m hesitant to sign it over until I title the Goblin). Chassis is finally powdercoated. F40 is taking up room in my garage. Still need to order a bunch of stuff. Picked up the whole kit at once, but still waiting on my seats and the rear coilovers to arrive. I’ll start posting some pics when there are things to take pictures of that are interesting or beneficial. Happy with how well documented all the teardown stuff was, or I’d probably still be working on it.
Anyway, looking forward to getting the build underway. Hope to go to the next Goblin get together to meet some of you and see what you’ve built.
