Why would they have any justification to take it away and crush it? Your free to modify your standard bandit frame in pretty much any way you want to. You could pretty much weld a huc frame onto your existing headstock. As long as your insurance are fully aware of whats been done and are happy tgere no real reason for any issues. My insurance have a 4 page spec list of my bike and photos from every angle. There happy its a extensively modified bandit. Issue would be if you were using a kawaski twin in a home made frame and using gsxr details

Why would you need anyvtesting after doing it? Just build it and MOT it. No requirement to do anything else

https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/rebuilt-vehicles A new frame of the same specification, you can keep existing reg. Just need to use 2 major components of the origional vehicle. Engine and gearbox. Done

Its not illegal at all. You can re-frame a bike with a frame of the same type of construction. A steel cradle frame is the same as a bandit so your allowed to transfer numbers over, same as if you damaged your frame and got a replacement. Use good insurance company like Adrian Flux "bikesure" they are more than happy to insure them if you tell em you have swapped the standard frame.

Built a couple of bikes using savage frames. I put bracing in around headstock but more for somewhere to mount coils than strength. Nothing wrong with swingarm mounts. They arent going yo move, strength is there is across the frane through swingarm.

I wanted to do over 200

Kev did 203 2nd run then killed it. I lost 50bhp somwhere which im trying to suss out, managed 2 propper runs and got to 184 before it was rained off. Bit disapointed to be honest.

I thought pretty much the same. Dont think he quite understands the way we are using variable fuel pressure regs. Its not been a problem for hundreds of people with carbed bikes running the same setup. Only problem i ever had was when i had a 130lph pump and i changed turbo. Just couldnt flow enough fir what i wanted. Swapped to a 260lph and its been fine

Erm yeah a rising rate regulator with its referrence pipe conected to a pressurised part of the air system (carb top normally) will give a rising fuel pressure that rises exactly with boost but slightly higher by however much you have set the base pressure at. Any excess fuel returns to the tank via the return line from the rrfpr. Doesnt heat the fuel up anymore than in an injection system. I run 7psi to 17psi boost and my fuel curve remains perfect and constant any revs any boost.

It Straightliners Top Speed Tuesday on the 18th. I will be taking my Spondon Turbo out to play for the last time before it cones to bits for a winter upgrade and re-vamp. Kid Kearsley is joining the fun too. Last one over 200mph is buying the brews. Im just trying to find out if my bike will achieve that speed before I go daft on aerodynamics in my pursuit of being the 1st person to achieve 200 on Pendine Sands.

One of these http://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/New-D2power-Gauge-Adjustable-Electronic-Boost-Controller-EVO-Free-Shipping-/261545637875?hash=item3ce555b7f3:g:uHQAAOSwDk5T1c7U

Extra 10bhp or an extra 100bhp, why do you even need to ask :-)

Think you will find the air will take the most direct route inlet to outlet. Rest of the cooler will just fill with still air and do pretty much nothing. Same with radiators. Thats why they have inlet and outlet top and bottom on opposite sides

Appreciate what you do mate. See my later comment about the cost :-) Seems a lot until you break it down a bit.

Watch out for it handling like a bag of shit too. Rear grip will be awful ;-)

I thought about it, split between 3 riders over 4 hours is 1:20 track time each plus qualufying and i would hope saturaday practice is included too. Not actually that bad l, pretty much on par with club racing for track time value. I could live with £330

Can i help? :-)

I think i have a slingshot basket kicking round. Will have a look

It may be me but that intercooler looks like it wont do very much. Would be much better with the outlet the oposite side to the inlet.

Shit the bed thats expensive

Willing to offer my services lol, and also any bits i have kicking round/time to help

Im running Busa pistons in stock b12 motor Lockup clutch Blowthrough kit on b12 carbs Intercooler Vf23 turbo Electronic variable boost controller Made 278bhp and 280Nm at 1 bar

Sounds like an eventful weekend. Bike looked to be going well too. Sorry didnt get over to see you in garage. Spent all sat eve helping my mate rebuild his bike. Was worth it though, he got a 1st and 2nd and wrapped up 3rd overall. Hopefully going to be out a bit more next year so will catch up then. :-)

Cool. Will be there in morning. Will pop in and say hello

Td04 from subarus are what tend to be used. There are other variants that perform better that are a straight swap should you want to upgrade. Thats what i did. Started with a TD04 and swapped it out for a IHI VF23 ball bearing turbo of a higher spec imprezza.
