I have people requesting parts on the vt so i may be able to buy a 150 engine with that money.I will have a go at running the engine with one piston this weekend but it could be total time waster and selling the electrics could be a better bet to afford new 150 engine.

spent some time on la bucket
Striped it down saving parts for resale
Bad points are the chain was so tight the link bent while removing.
Took sump of engine and contains bad final drive bearing and gearbox damage.
No front brakes but may just need bleeding and fluid.
Rear sproket not flash.
Good points is chasis is light and fork seals good and rear shock good.
Bearings etc are good in swinger and steering head.
not sure if i will cut frame and shorten it.Perhaps wait for new motor to see what will work.
Very controversial
why dont you get a gsxr600 and shut off three of its cylinders making it a 150!!
chuck norris's calender goes from march 31st to april 2nd

For all your usual throw away replies, that one is actually funny. I wonder if Ozzy is working on one yet?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Maybe Ozzy has a spare piston I could use.

They stay in there un-ignighted. (& would take you out to more than 150 given shorter stroke of modern bikes)

Yeh i was just be smart arse.
I was reading up on a ducati which has the second cylinder compressing air into a pressure bottle then using the air as a supercherger onto the other cylinder.it gave him more hp by 15 and more torque than double the cc as a twin.

Oyster has a CB125 monocoque framed thingy with a VT250 4 valve head fitted to it and there was a second one built which sold on TM last year

Cool, I like the sound of that! I was thinking of somthing similar to make somthing all honda and competotive but I will never actually do it.

Im open to suggestions guys but keep it cheep.The vt motor is toast and it makes more sense to go 150 single.
Sold $45 dollars of the vt bits so far so total build budget has hit $195 with $80 spent.Will the kitty grow.No ones knows.
If it comes under budget the change goes into beer fund for the first meeting raced.If it goes over ill watch you guys have one.

Two smoke for that frame - otherwise you'll be forever welding it back together.
Forum whore
Do you think the frame is weak.It was holding fairly heavy twin which didnt seem to be part of the strength.I have the long bolts that held engine and will reinstall them with tubes to put the strength back in.Not a problem to weld extra braces if required.Was thinking triangle plates near steering head.

First fairing fit to see the full extent of ugly bucket.
May move the fairing up and back but will wait to see how exaust gets in there.Thinking under tail mufler as there is lots of room.
