back end for now, Hodna gullarm with cbr600f2 wheels, I'm after a set of Ducati 749/999 wheels for it when the budget allows,this may force a swingarm change. yokes wheels and arm are at the powdercoaters being done gloss black.

Engine on the right is my Harris lump, Z9, 1045cc High Compression forged pistons, welded and indexed crank, polished and ported head to rubbers with 33mm flatslides, I've also got a full titanium akrapovic system for it dyna s ignition dyna coils and taylor leads, need source some cams when funds allow, which is what the engine on the left is for, Z9 again had a gearbox issue so ripped it down putting it back to 903cc block and clean it up to go back in the 76 a4 chop thing to sell it to fund the rest of the Harris

Love the frame colour..... perhaps you should nick the engine out of an H2R (either variety).

Lovin' the frame colour...... Green & Black - a great combo (I'm biased) :lol:

I got the wheels before I got mine p/coated, so they dictated the colour!
