Pycleworks built the frame for Chris ..not sure who did the tank....and Chris made a lot of the brackets and other bits himself.....

Dont know whos done the frame mods...unless Leo did them him-self.........?

TBH i dont know why he gave up on the original build.....all it needed was a proper EMS "aledgedly"..... :roll:

I now have a full draw thru turbo kit,thanks to Mr. FBM.

The kit is for a gsxr11,but Ive a one off alloy plenum(again from FBM)for an EFE engine.So maybe it could be made to fit?
If it doesnt im building a (boring)GSXR11 turbo for the summer,and will at a later date will pull it apart and fit the engine and other needed bits into a second EFE I have.I also managed to put my hands on a lock up clutch for a gsx efe on saturday.

I'll build my 1260 efe up too,with long swingarm,lock up struts,star racing drag pipe etc etc..

I forgot,I also bought an EFE tank,mint pair of sidepanels and 2 panels for under the seat at the rear on Sat gone at the autojumble in York.
I came back a happy camper!

See the man cave thread to see what I think!

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll make a start. But people,dont be to upset if the turbo is fitted to ( :shock:

)a gsxr1100.

I think it could? Ive also a one off EFE plenum thanks to FBM. I figure I could use the EFE plenum which would allow the turbo and carb to be fitted,and then mess with the exhaust? Im sure somebody said that if you double up the exhaust gaskets you can make the gsxr turbo headers fit the EFE?? It kind of sounds a bit daft to me,but maybe I can have a look to see if it works?
Ive a new Star racing drag pipe which looks cool and needs to be used up,so a normally aspirated EFE wouldnt be such a bad thing.

Pedda told me that. On gsxr exhausts he uses two gaskets to make them fit efes etc
