 Oops.

They were pictures of my mock up xbr/rs. I can get photos (of any file size) onto that site, direct from i pad no problem.

Thought I'd found a way, but scuppered. The photos have disappeared. Best laid plans. Doh!

Haven't we been through this about a year ago, the XBR engine is a pain in the arse to fit into an RS frame, and it looks odd, but that last bit is just my opinion. the FT/XL500 engine is a much easier conversion. The reason I did mine was because at first glance it looks like a tricked up RS250 but when you're still on the back wheel in third it kind of gives the game away. There's a couple of videos on youtube now of RS500s including my own

I'm not attempting it because it's easy. The opposite tbh, I'm enjoying the challenge. It's early stages yet, but the mock up looks pretty cool as far as I'm concerned. It did look a bit odd when I first dropped it in, using the two rear mounts. But with these mounts aligned the cylinder was too upright and looked slightly odd, as you say. So I disregarded the top rear mount and tipped the engine forward until it looked right. Ill be able to spend an hour or two more on it tomorrow night. I'm well buzzed up about the challenge.
