i dunno ,,, 8O i havent had too detailed a look but , for my mind with the way the swinger is located on the vtr thats potentially far too much strain being put through the crankcases , the whole reear end mounted through the back off the engine :? em... no thanks :eek2


i think the potential twisting force would snap that in half ,,,,, ,,


anyone else a view on it ??
its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog

But look on the positive side; it wouldn't last long enough for the cct's to let go.

Anyway, it's a professional conversion, according to the blurb, so presumably the builder makes a living from converting these.

Hope he doesn't like to eat much, and lives at home, with a good benefits package, because I can't imagine he'll sell any at that price.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

That question being "how can I ruin a perfectly good sports bike and make it handle like a shopping trolley on acid?"
