You're gonna have fun fitting footpeg mounts and pipes , how about jacking the rear up a bit and having under tail exits for your spannies....show off that swinger ?, it'd be very novel ive been told it hard too fit them on this kind of conversion as the damper sits a lot lower than normal and gets in the way, the rear end isnt set up correctly yet so will be higher in the end, but i also have too chop off the rear subframe as i have an rgv one too graft on so alwas have the option of angling this slighty higher too!

Theres a lot more to pipe dimenshons than you would think. every cone length and width will change how the bike runs.

You could just mod a set of race pipes thats the best way . Thats what Richy does. you loos a bit of performance cos your messing with dymenshons but Richy go's for looks first with his bikes and dont get me wrong they stil go well

He isnt realy doing that mutch same as vince is doing puting a RGV front and back end in a valve for me and doing an over the engine thing for me and spraying it . He hasnt dont the frame mods yet or the paint but he has put the backend in . Im not realy botherd i dont have the room for it anyway . Richi is a grate bloke and i know him well so im not botherd how long it takes when its finished it will probably only sit in my garage for a further 2 years untill i get the time to finishit of anyway . So better at his then my house geting in my way.

so you do everyone else's engine's and bikes and get somebody else to do yours lol Richi is the only person who has ever done the over engin convershon thing you need a pipe bender and i thourght he had done the RGV end convershon be for but he had'nt. Anyway at the time i didnt have the time to get it started and realy wanted to get cracking with it and as he is a sprayer i thourght just give the whol lot to him and i'll get back a fully roling and sprayed frame wheels and panells. But thats not how it worked out and im just glad i dont have it back now taking up roomi dont have . But it will be finished one day and when it is it'll be a real nice bike .

Great Project Vinze. ;D
After trying to obtain an RGV front and rear for my YPVS i have just bought an entire bike off E-bay.
I dont suppose youd be willing to get the necessary machining done for me would you? If so, how much?
Cheers.
