Vicar,

I've done a recent tear down on my bike and decided to do the modification route now rather than later. I am looking at putting an late model R6 front end and swing arm on it. Obviously some mods to get it to fit the frame are needed. That way I will have great suspension & great brakes, new switchgear etc. it will also mean I have a better choice of wheels at similar tyre size for the TRX. I am rebuilding the engine with 1mm over size Yamaha pistons to give 868cc, modify a TDM FI unit so I can hopefully put a Rotrex supercharger on it down the track. After that will be maybe an R7 fairing and tail piece. Still the heart and soul of the TRX but thouroughly updated.

Thanks for your thoughts and advice guess I will leave the bike as it is, put the spare frame out of sight and get on with fitting my morini 500 motor into the bsa frame thanks again ..............Vicar

A10 motors go well in Morini frames, sweet handlers the Morini`s if a tad small for 6` 1" guys like me.

I'd build mine exactly the same as it is now with the possible exception of a full fairing (an d a few other bits which I've got planned)

A full fairing is necessary for a race bike or (perhaps) a tourer; but for something like the TRX, a half-fairing serves just as well (in terms of wind protection) and doesn't hide the motor.
