Thanks for the comments, The budget is if I have the money it can get more shiny bits added, I was looking at about £1000 for and engine check and maybe a few dress up bits. As i am in no rush I will just look out for any bargains. If i set a strict and proper budget i will only be disappointed everytime I go over it and then the new one I set again. Great point on the new cases as I will prob be easier to move the internals over during the overhaul and replace the bits that are on the way out. I was looking at a company called Coba Valley Cycles based in Dorset, I sold a HUC frame last year and the buyer recommended them, does anyone have experience with them ? For the fab work (tank / subframe). Also anyone have experience with PHW (pointy hat wizard) based in Essex, again for fab work ? If anyone thinks this is "similar" to another frame out there let me know please, I know there are loads of oneoffs out there but worth a try. I will keep you posted with any progress but may be a few months as I have like most too many projects with are forming a queue, and the YZ80 is next on the agenda.

Hi everyone, I have been meaning to post for a while as I bought a project last year and have finally got around to (money permitting) working on it. I don`t have any info on the frames origins but managed to spy it on a listing for a set of forks on fleabay, I messaged the guy and he said that he didnt think it would be of any interest to anyone and was going to scrap it. He said to come and have a look and he asked......... wait for it ......... £30 as that was its scrap value ! That included the tank and seat unit which are decent quality thick walled carbon (not the flimsy crap TYGA) that I have on my RS250. Anyway a year goes by and as I am not in any rush I have been looking on flea and when something cheap comes up I have a cheeky punt. The complete rearend is GSXR1100 89` i think with the obvious Metmachex "upgrade" Frontend is an R6 08 I have also played around with the R1 07 setup as you can see. Not sure if i want to keep the "original" tank but it just looks abit dated and rounded rather than the newer angular styling. This will be a long road to rebuild but should be classed as a budget build so as and when. Can anyone recommend a decent engine and engineering shop in Kent as I have a B12 engine already from a previous project (I will be using the frame/reg from this B12) but it needs abit of general work and damage repair to the lower part of the casing. I also have a 89` gsxr750 sitting in the garage so might go with this ?? thoughts. I also want to have a new removable R1 subframe grafted in. The very questionable welds around the headstock are in the process of being addressed but a good TIG welder friend (ground down and relayed). Thanks for looking, Dan
