Soom of you may remember my garage got robbed and all my bikes nicked ans all the thieveing ****s left me was my spare engine. Well, after trying to sell it and not really having much joy, i decided it would be a good starting point for a build.
Was browsing fleabay the other day when i saw this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&it em=140320214158
So stuck my bid in an and as you can see, got it all for 48 quid. Wheels are too small for what i want (10"), but have brand new Pirelli MT320 fitted and a brand new bling sprocket, so they are up for sale (see sales section). I have aslo ordered a complete nut and bolt kit from
www.pitbikeparts.co.uk, so as soon as that arrive I'll get the engine bolted into the frame. So watch this space for progress. Heres some better pics of the parts:

19 May - Got home from work and decided to mountthe motor into the frame. Started to rain as soon as I started but thought fuk it and carried. Got bloody soaked again
First problam has now reared its head. The mounting point is on the front of the oil cooler. Looked at just turning it round but the connectors are different either side and the 2 lines are different sizes. Might just buy a new one, but ill sleep on it for now
05/10 - After doing bugger all with this for months (apart from slowly buying that parts for it) I decided it was time to carry on. Chose to stick to 10" wheels after buying the Sano Bombshell copies and use them on this rather that the Masai. Also got a Stomp 125 elite swinger, Pro Taper bars etc etc. Got everything mounted (just need the top hat bushes for the shock mount on the swing arm) and maybe a shorter shock???
anyway did all this on Sun morning and here is what it look like now
