1100et for me Clive

Think I am going with the original one at the moment. Though it was a bit long so cut 85mm of the back, added 50mm foam to raise the seat hight (just for mock up). Plan is to fit the gsxr back light I got of Colin to it.    

[clivegto]

Cut a bit more of seat unit. Like better now.

Thats nowt compared to me swinging arm collection

Took the cobra headers off 1 exhaust bolt was missing 3 turned out alright and 4 sheared off. Offered up some b12 turbo headers with a TDO4L turbo, there's loads of room for a turbo setup compared to my Harris    

[clivegto]

After a little research it would appear that 24 of these frames were made, 12 for Japanese engines and 12 for European engines. Quite interesting I thought well at least to me 

[clivegto]

Had to try the draw through pipes on for size I have in my stash  

  

[clivegto]

Early Mr Dunlop b12 headers with what might be a Chinese gt28. I like the look of this setup 

  

[clivegto]

Turbo stash stuff.

So what is holding the engine in the frame apart from  rear engine mounts ? ( may have just made myself look silly)

Like this.   Seen some others like this as well. 

[clivegto]

@gsxyou can see the front engine mount better on this one

Amazes me that two bolted on bits of tube work as well as the bike handles

They say they were really good handling bikes back then, I will be lucky enough to find out after a bit of fettling

Damn, I should have guessed, I had first dibs if you didn't buy it. I was hoping you wouldn't turn up!

Seems he told a few they had first dibs then 

Great bones for a love bike. The red one is sublime. 

Gotta be the ET tail piece and stubby seat FTW.
