Cheers guys. I reckon 900 will be the way to go.

Kev, I might well be interested in your 900 engine if and when you part with it. Would you me ltting me know in case I miss your ad for it?

Is there any difference between injected and carbed 900 engines or just the fuel intake changed?

[skidlids]

probably a difference in the flywheel and ignition pickup but its not something I have looked into, also the issue of single and 3-phase alternators and associated Rectifier/regulator

Something like this antoine ?

(are you running in the knacker-cracker by the way ?)

[Tonio600]

Hi Phil,

Yes, this is exactly what I want to build. I love Cafe Racers and the Monster must be a good base for one.

Unfortunately no, it's not this year again that I will try that race. However I will be on the start line for the Leith Hill half. Are you running it again next year? It's on the 7th of March.

You're not doing the MABACs are you? I'll will be doing the one in Wisley on Sunday.

I certainly will be doing the Leith Hill Half ! Its one of the best hill runs around here.
I'm running a 9 miler near worthing on sunday - my first race for 4 months cos of achilles tendonosis.
Then its the Cracker possibly followed by the G3 races as training for Leith Hill, unless you can recommend some other 10-20k races ?

If you fit a 900 lump you'll develop a silly grin you know

a 900 will go in without any problems, and the exhausts are the same size

Are you sure about the exhaust sizes? I know the 600 and 750 downpipes are the same part number (at least on the SS), but they look awfully restrictive for a 900.
