So if you had a cut off, of 1991, what would you be looking at. Now I'm looking at advice on substantive changes in chassis geometry over J,K,L, M. Plus any thoughts on construction benefits that Hammamatsu thought to include in this development era. This particular project would probably require 2 bikes to be built in parallel, so any pitfalls that anybody can think of would be useful. Advice on proven chassis reinforcement would be more than welcome, I'd be more than up for a bit of fabrication and welding. Advice on any swing arm preferences would also be handy, particularly any reflections on general geometry and short circuit work. Engines wise, I'm looking that buying a munter would give us cams and a Dot head, I think that the M model would get ruled out as it has too many bloody tappet adjusters!. I'm also keen on getting the 6 speed boxes. 11 side, anybody give me a pointer on what engines that I can't buy up, given the finite cut off date of end '91. Am I stuck with 1054 or could I slide in 1127? Obviously there are a myriad other questions that I could be asking, but... Fount of all knowledge here, so best ask before somebody goes and buy's something stoopid. No prizes for guessing what this might be about.
