OOH! could be useful for an XBR special......

Spotted on Ebay, SZR alloy frame modified for an XBR engine.  Could be a nice special! Be Quick, he's talking about scrapping it!!

IF I did not have a garage full of crap already I would have that.  Tap up GC for a lump, parts bin for some wheel - damn it would be on the road by - oooo 2020?

If it can take the XBR lump, how about a Dommie motor??

As Jethro says, the external fixing points are identical for 400, 500 and 650 RFVC lumps.

I know I shouldn't have, but I started the bidding. He says he has loads of watchers so I'm confident that I won't have to hide another Ebay purchase away from Mrs Onepot  ;) :D

Mind you, that's exactly what I said before I ended up buying my GB sidecar outfit  ::)

Sadly yes  :'( How I could do with a few hours round some of those quieter Scottish back roads now.
Heyho, only 3 more courses on the outer wall and 2 on the inner and that will be the block work finished. ;D
