Got a quote from ,
GIA
Engineering for an alloy frame n swing arm .

here,s a pic of a TL they do

Sit Down if you are of a nervous disposition

frame Â£2700 swing arm 850 tank Â£650.

I like the idea of a trellis frame for a Vtr.

any one know a frame maker who can do similar in steel

Vtr like a refined Buell .

Spondon do them not cheep
Kimera fabrication has done them in the past but I've just tried looking them up and it looks like they went out of business

Chris.

if you follow that link, and click on 'motorcycles', the second bike, the multi coloured fj1200.....
i'm not here to critisize another builder, but my mate had that in his shop for a subframe swap, (for a shorter seat unit), i had a good look over it.....

let's just say i was very underwelmed.
