slabbie Fuel Tank, Frame

[slabbyfaceddean]

Evening 

I have been offered 2 frames to start my project off, 1 x 1100 slabbie 1 x 750 wn-wr The only problem I have to consider first is tanks , Tanks seem expensive for both even Double the price of the frames and nearly the price off a 12 Bandit engine which its going to run ( forced induction turbo or supercharged ) It helps working in a well know Diesel engine manufacturer R&D department. What shall I do ??? pondering waiting on a more built up chassis coming along??

Thoughts anyone

I have a chopped rear subframe bandit frame if it helps you???

mmm I have a vision of the finished bike, alloy frame is the base. But an XR 69 style would look good and probably cheaper too.

It's always cheaper to start with a complete bike rather than buying one a bolt at a time.

Well a supercharged  blandit motor that runs on chip shop oil would be original. Do that. 

750 frame sounds like water boiler, so fitting a Blandit motor would be a pain.

Haha no chip shop Oil, but for fabrication work Its a bit like heaven , yeah its the watercooled WN frame  so that  is now off the table.

Hi my pal runs a 1200 bandit motor in a 750 wn frame they do go in. He's fitted a gsxr 400 tank on it and it looks just like it was made for the job. Guy Martin's turbo runs the 750 w frame.

How hard was it to fit, new mounts etc

Dying to start my new build  been looking for a frame or chassis for a while . Found a sweet chassis, everything I need to start my build. . It is 92 750 frame with k4 forks and slingshot arm. K series shock and wheels. 89 1100 front fairing, 92 750 tail and tank. Front subframe is modified to fit newer frame and k series steering damper. Frame is modified to fit 1100 engine.  Problem though its in Finland.......... Anyone driving passed Finland soon...

Well if he's coming over to Sweden or have some friends that could take it, i might be able to help.

Because i'm going down to Hannover W30 and could bring it there or thereabout.
