very intresting !!! im up for it but would rather have the complete bike to start with rather than just an engine as everythings got to be sourced and designed to fit , a bandits ideal as it has a steel cradle that can be modded , it would work out alot cheaper with a complete bike as well rather than sourcing everything for it and that way you dont have to reinvent the wheel !!! :D

ok the deal is I got the frame of blakey 50 quid and engine has cost 100 quid complete
with the loom, cdi, ignition ect the carbs are worth £100 so I will not lose,

i will be trying to find some NRG forks or 180cc runner forks

engine mounts are cheap off ebay

ok what wheels shall i look for

the money i have saved so far i can buy the odd bits just want to get it too a rolling bike first

as for the swing arm would you have to make a new one for a small wheel

i will source and collect all parts, if you fancy building it mate
