umm that makes it sound like hard work, I do fancy a go at it though

I think AK managed to do it alright.

Louigi did it using 'bits & pieces' lying around

620 engine (with holes in) + 750ie injectors (same as 620) + loom off of something else + no airbox + cdi from sumfing else again etc etc

It was done with stuff Rich already had in his second-hand parts section, coz neither of us had the cash to do it 'expensively'. I honestly feel there must be something not 100% right in the recipe used, coz it wasn't down on power coz Rich is stupid. His other bikes are tip top kit. It just didn't work out.

I would think if you can find a 620 and all the 620 bits to go with it, it should be alright.

...but you may as well buy a 620 or race the 583.

I don't want to ride a moster, well not that kind of monster anyway

so your left with buying a 620 spot if you can find one, for what £3000 to £3500 grand and still having to do the suspension brakes bodywork well every thing.

so let's say £5000 total

I think I can get it up to scratch for less than that. Is there any advantage from starting with the later bike? apart from the fact that the engine and associated bits and peaces are on it. still got to spend the time seting it up to get the best from it? I don't know I am still trying to way it up ?

It's a bit like buying a 748 and fitting a 916 engine... why not just buy the 916 in the first place?

If you can save some wedge, then that makes sense I suppose, all depends on how easy it is to do and if you have plenty of spare time over xmas.

It was me, Yellow ROCKS

How about a DD bike in undercoat?

We didn't have one this year did we?

[ericthered40]

Don't forget I could sell the six hundred lump and associated bits

Keeping the 620 costs down then go for nice bits ells wear

I am probably wrong but I think spending the money on the suspension exhaust, power commander and Dino time. followed buy some hypnotherapy for me will be the best way to spend the budget

So if its going to be a 620 motor how much more does it cost for a 6 speed one.
