Me either What I will say is that its about the best fitting kettle transplant I've seen The motor is so long and bulky it usually looks like a parasite taking over the bike Bodywork made me think Honda but wheels/brakes points to Suzuki Steve I think that bodywork is an old Honda VF400F, not sure of the frame, maybe homemade, maybe modded VF? Mouse VF was my thought on bodywork 👍 Steve |

they are normally either side behind the tank/rad shrouds , i looked and could not work out if i could see a one looks like Aprilia sxv front and rear and i was more interested in the silencers for the pipes mart +1. Looks like they are there to me, up in front of tank, behind the shroud which is designed to funnel the air thru em. Using the OEM setup was how I was going to to my KTMaha project. Its not an ideal placement of course for many reasons (heat, size etc) but its what the chassis came with and its neat and designed to cool around 50bhp... its ok for a hill climb or a race SM, but maybe not perfect for the street. Cooling would always be a fun part of any project like this. I still have the KTMaha parts... I might still build it. go on Jon build it you can get oversize rads for KTM chassis even for bikes early 90s on mart |

Any info on this one Dusty? I can't even tell who made it. But I think it's stunning. Alex |

 All I know about this is it's based on a Honda 60cc (SS50 engine basically) and cost $4000 when it was new. Alex |
