Likewise, but for me it's trying to get my swingarm up to standard, now Ricky's set the bar so damn high.
If I can track down an RS250 axle in a couple of months time, perhaps it could be done when I'm next in the UK... My Mum lives just north of York.

As for numbers, count me in as interested.
IIRC Honda are 100mm and Ducati are 85mm. I have a spindle drilled for both, so I can just move the drive pins.

Lightweight fibreglass bodywork is the biggest single weight saving IMO, those original panels are heavy!

Is that me, Cammo?

Nah, I like this mod, very interesting, but as my to-do list is stock piling, I reckon I need to be calm and stay focused on the necessary things first. Nevertheless, if the pennies were no issue then I would do it (I'll check out the gixxer mod soon, and also the long waited/wanted fresh pair of trick radiators, also need to get nice bodywork kit and more other bits and pieces. I must stay calm...especially when I am cross border in Germany this weekend...oh blimey

)
