Otherwise I find it best to start with the frame, engine and swingarm all going together first. Ideally with the engine 150 to 200mm off the ground

Want to fit a Testastretta engine so narrows the choice down. Then got to decide which ecu t-bodies to use and how to wire up the electrics. Not as easy as first thought when you sit down and really think about it.

I'd go for the 998 Harness and ECU as the Battery, ECU etc are on the opposite side on a 749/999, and is designed for use with the CAN system with Coded clocks/ECU.

I still have a 998 50mm system for sale if you find you need one
