Likewise, but for me it's trying to get my swingarm up to standard, now Ricky's set the bar so damn high. :roll:

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. :idea: :whistle:

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! :grin:
Is that me, Cammo? :whistle: :lol: 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 :poke: )
