I've somehow been conned into rebuilding this now...rather than in three or four years as my schedule slackens off.
Grafted a 1990/91 CBR400 front end to the MVX tonight, and decided the best place for the stingers.
Gonna get someone else to assemble the motor this time round, as the GT was an epic fail when I tuned it. I think the crank seals need doing, so it might as well get a couple rod kits and a proper freshen up. I have a rolling road in the shed, so tuning should be a breeze for the lucky punter.
I'm not riding it, so I don't care if it's slow. A couple of friends are in need of a steed so they might as well use this instead of it sitting in my back yard. Does that make them factory backed? I'm building it, and then they ride it after all.
Gonna run an old CBR600 set of wheels, so 125 GP slicks are on their right width carriers. Only sacrifice to speak of might be brakes, but it's looking like a 400 caliper will grab the smaller disk no sweat.
