- Obsession Engineering and Marvel HCL Motorsport are building a Superstock Fireblade for our racing protege Franco Bourne.
The Superstock Honda is nearly ready, so Dave is heading back to the Dyno at Honda Racing to see how much power it really makes! Then there's just the small matter of bodywork and a few details before the bike is track ready
If you'd like to be involved in the journey with us, to bring on racing's next star rider, please email team boss Matt at

Pretty wild to see a legitimate road racer doing all these vlogs- excellent content Sir!
Brilliant insight yet again 👍
After watching him spin some laps at monteblanco the last few days, I'm excited to see the boy on the grid.
Good luck and a brilliant video as always
To work on fuel tanks i got a nappy changing table for free from marketplace 😅 it worked a treat, soft waterproof top. It was for rust treating the inside of a tank so could wheel it outside for rinsing etc.
Developing great power. Top job putting the bike together. Hope the tests in Spain went well & Franco getting on with the big bike. Can't wait for Silverstone.
That sounded awesome on the Dyno pretty impressive power figures always better to know what it's putting out at the back wheel can't wait to see it on track 👍
That’s an awesome kit Dave! I understand your desire to leave a side stand on, but being a race bike, it won’t need riding to the cafe😂😉 Nice to see you also add anti-seize to chain adjustment bolts in an aluminium swingarm👌 Looking forward to the track shakedown🤙 Excellent work Dave as always 🙌
Great build 👏
always seems so simple - on here ..... nice build!
Your attention to detail is self evident and in impressive in the videos. I'd be more than happy to let you fettle my race bike - if I had one! 🙂
Yes, its bordering on obsession...
Nice!! 110 Nm is about 81 ft-lb 😁
Hi Dave. I bought a dozen paint pens (i.e. every colour they have) and I stripe the connected connectors so that I never get them mixed up should I need to take them apart again. Hope that helps.
Some electronic equipment on the modern motorcycle,,but with awesome power,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland seems like a lot of people are going for the fireblade now must be between it and the BMW nowadays,,👍
Better bike than the BMW now in my opinion. Hence why we have it!
It all seems so seamless, bet it isn't! Do you keep another set of bodywork for mishaps, or is the manufacturer on speed dial, cheers looking forward to seeing some tarmac.
We've got more bodywork coming, but only one set had arrived when I was filming
@obsession_engineering
Does this company offer fairings for an old RC51 (SP1)?
Or an company for that matter.
I'd love to get a nice quality fitting fairing kit for one.
What made you decide on those Bitubo and what do you think of it in comparison to Ohlins and K-Tech?
All 3 are excellent quality and very capable options.
I'm a bitubo technical centre so wanted to try Franco with those.
Keeping an open mind, and as Honda Racing run Ohlins, we opted to try some Ohlins too and on the blade the stock shock can be reworked so it's good value.
The k-tech through rod options are the latest tech, and we may try some later, but it's right on the price limit for superstock, so they're the last choice of the 3 purely because of price
@@obsession_engineering hi. Thanks for taking your time to answer 🙂👌🏻
@@obsession_engineering Another question. I have a 2015 S1000RR. is the Bitubo pre-drilled for the shock-sensor, having rck3 and data logger installed.
Fitting race fairings is my least favorite thing to do on a motorcycle
Almost time for roundy roundy 😊
Been thinking about buying them Harris peg stands how do you rate them
They’re good, not the cheapest but excellent quality.
Very good. All my paddock stands are Harris and I've never had any reason to complain
@@obsession_engineering good I need to take my swing arm off think I’ll buy a pair wish I could own a bike built by you you do some nice work
I love the attention to every detail, speaking of which - does anyone check the position of the rear wheel relative to the frame centre-line or do you assume factory tolerances are adequate/spot on?
I tend to measure with verniers from the front of the adjuster area to the spindle. But I also have some straight edges for full alignment check
Can't you slow the bike down a bit, to make it less likely that Franco will crash it and ruin all your handiwork?
