I have been folowing this project with great interest, i started the same set up about 7 years ago after chatting with z-car but it didnt get very far due to lack of cash so i take my hat off to you as it is has been done fantasticly well.I love the simplicity of the way it has been done, in the same way z-cars do there install it has been done using a straight forward if it doesnt need it dont put it on pholosophy.
I only wish i had the money to buy a kit!

you obviously dont know much about bikes or their engines fatmini the bikes you buy from the showroams are NOT race bikes they are race style bikes and of course the engines will go on past 60k with propper maintenence its just the bikes tend to be crashed or stolen before they get to that milage


"u cut me deep u cut me real deep shrek" however i think ur wrong about the showroom bikes !
