Sweet, Harris Magnum?? Ive got a Spondon for the few summer months we have. Cant beat a well though out special.
A friend of mine is in the middle of putting a hyabusa turbo into a spondon frame. Should be interesting to say the least:p
Sounds good to me :woohoo: I had thought about fitting one in my frame but it don't fit, also considered a GSXR 1000 lump but that would be a nightmare as well due to the angle of the head
. I was looking for a replacement for my Gixer 1100 motor which was bored out to 1216cc, and fed by a set of Mikuni flatslides. But in the end I got a low milage Gixer 1100m lump. Not gonna mess with this one though, keeping it std for reliability

No mate its a late oil cooled GSXR 11 motor I don't like the water cooled engines the are a lot heavier. To be honest I like modding, building things in general. I am looking forward to trying my Jimny on the rough stuff. I now have a couple of bridle straps and a couple of 5 metre straps. I still have to fit the front recovery points and I am ready. My only concern is I don't have any underbody protection as yet. Do you think this will be a problem?

Nice bikes mate, here is a pic of mine which I built a couple of years ago. This is the offending bike which spat me off and wrecked my shoulder around 16 months ago. My wife and physio has only just declared me fit to start kayaking again :woohoo:
