Who´d like a 154Kg Spondon TRX...

[Kayla]

Maybe this is more an attitude from hotrod upbringing where different engines no matter how special made no difference to the name of the car.

Yes, I think it's the identity of the frame/chassis that gives a bike or car its 'name', isn't it?. Loads of people have stuck different engines in Cagiva Mitos (KTM/Husky singles or 350 YPVS lumps) and they're still Mitos by name, albeit with a different engine. that bike up there is a Spondon that happens to have a TRX lump- I think you'd need to have the original bodywork fitted for it to still be called a TRX. It's hard to define how stuff's named

It's very nice though, and has a lovely stripped down look to it. But you can keep the SSSA.

Anyone know how much just the trx engine weighs?

Far too much in my opinion for the power output

Seems to look like a Triumph Speed triple in this shot... None the less, its a horny bike

Don´t know who have looked at all the pics but i love the way he made that "poor man´s turbo"!!

[Mincehead]

And you might find you`ll have your arm snapped off for those parts too C.

Found a bigger pic so one can see more details

Hmmm, I have a feeling those forks might be Ducati and I think remounting the sidestand up to the front engine mount is a good idea too.
Would love to be able to walk around the bike, you could fully ascertain the work that`s gone into it then.

Walk around it.....I'd like to race it in the thunderbike series. Wonder if it handles and if the motor is set up good?

I mean he takes in the air in front and has made a "lock" where the tank goes in hence giving those carbs some extra pressure at speeds (poor man´s turbo"

....and if you following my link on last pic it´s 3,7Mb so one can zoom in where the frames oillines goes into motor etc (and i´ve lifted that tank onto my 900 and he saved a LOT of weight just there)

I'm open to offers Mince - the YZF front end is the later fully adjustable type & comes with blue spots & Harris clip-ons

[Kevtrx849]

Pretty in silver too.

Pretty in silver too.

You think? Looks unfinished to me and out of balance

Well, to answer the question - I'D LIKE ONE!

The last image of those in the link above Kw?
Yes I noticed the forced induction mod and the neat oil tank up around the headstock.
I also like the flywheel mod, might not give too much extra power but it`ll help the motor spool up quicker for sure and save more weight.
There`s a great deal of re-siting of components, the fuel pump too is neatly moved.
