slabbyfaceddean Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment

slabbyfaceddean Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's always cheaper to start with a complete bike rather than buying one a bolt at a time. Quote Link to comment

Do that. 750 frame sounds like water boiler, so fitting a Blandit motor would be a pain. Quote Link to comment
slabbyfaceddean Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

Racer-X Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

slabbyfaceddean Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 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...
