Had this a long while now, it wasn’t built for a Suzuki engine if I do fit one in there I’d have to make up all new engine mounts & sort out how to put oil in as the frame sits on top of the oil filler plug. What do you reckon?

I know who built the frame & it seems it may be 1 of 1 as I can’t find out anything. I thought that maybe the way to go with the oil filler. Not sure about engine mounts etc

How tight is it? The oil filler is very close to the frame spar on my Spondon frame and that was definitely designed for a Suzukl engine. The cap just about comes off and a flexy funnel will just about go in.

Turbo it, fit an FBM lockup (other lockups are available) and fill it through the lock up cover(y)

That's the most sensible thing I can think of:banana:

Now that is far to sensible, but right thou

I've been sorting out the rear wheel alignment, as the swing arm had been narrowed on one side the wheel needed moving over to the right but this wasn't possible as there isn't enough thread. I could've fitted a vfr hub & fitted a 4 bolt bike or car wheel but I'm not keen on that look. I've been searching to get answers on using a ducati wheel, I figured that when a ducati wheel has been fitted to a triumph sssa they fit a 15mm spacer behind the wheel  then rethread the axle & cut it down. I hoped I could do something similar. I liked the look of the multi spoke wheel as opposed to the 3 spoke but everytime one came up on Eblag they were £200 but then 1 came up for half that so I bought it, it turned out that I only needed a 5mm spacer behind the wheel. So I removed the 4 locating pins & placed the spacer against the hub & made some new pins out of some high tensile, 5mm longer & pressed them back in through the spacer. I've made up a conical washer/spacer to hold the wheel onto the axle.

Been busy sorting the engine out making up mounts & 1 needs moving. Played around making cardboard templates even 3D ones deciding on which way to go with the front side mounts. Chain run looks good but might need to go 520.Bought a matching front wheel but need to change the discs.

After spending ages online looking at different seats & what might fit as I don't have a breakers nearby. Taking the bike or tank there to try one wouldbe a pain so I took a gamble & offered £12 for one that I thought might do the job. A lexmoto viper seat arrived today which I'm well pleased with :)
