    But standard bikes have not always been his weapon of choice

    I passed so I wouldn’t look daft! I reckon there are a few on here who might know, give it a few more days, the tight cooling fins on the last bike’s engine should tell us something….

    yep its a harris frame & bandit 12 engine, bodywork is one off by my own fair hand as is all the fabrication to make everything fit. unfortunately i had to sell this one unfinished due to cash flow problems [:I]

    Hint of Katana if i remember correctly, but my own PC is doing the “Blue Screen of Death” thing at the moment, so you will have to wait until that is sorted!

    Nice. How does the rear framework mount onto that Slim? Will you weld it on?

    Hello there

    first ineed to make a subframe & i could weld it on but as i’m trying something new & different i’l probably weld on some lugs to bolt it to [:)] doing it this way means i can change it again easily if i want to without disturbing the main frame [:D]
