Zepp Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Due to the terrible reports of customer service from JMC im glad I never put an order in for even one of their swingarm but when this came up for sale on my newsfeed I did a deal for it hardly without thinking. I have heard reports about the frames not being too good in handling but these appear to be 2nd or 3rd hand from folk who have never ridden one. Anyway that's not an issue for me as I bought it for its rarity value and like my other bikes just something different. I guess it'll sit untouched for a while yet but hopefully decide on its fate soon. 8 Quote Link to comment

Gammaboy Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I Notice Slabbyruss's brother's bike uses a set of bolt on front engine mounts rather than hanging the engine from the oil gallery plugs... I wonder which bike is earlier? Quote Link to comment
R1guy Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looks like @Zepps one does too. In one of the photos at top of this page you can see the plate with two holes in in, attached to underside of the beam- to take to drop down mounts Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looks like a nice bike, and it might have modified front engine mounts. I remember once seeing an early JMC frame for a GSXR and the engine mounted onto the cam end plugs on the cylinder head The tank looks really nice and it has Tecnomagnesio wheels, which aren't exactly common. These used to be supplied (not solely) by Yoshimura in the late 80s at huge cost. 1 Quote Link to comment
