And then i have a brain wave.....why not put the gixer motor in the blue bike and so project Rebuild The Blue EFE RTBEFE for short is born... Well Grotty Gixer put up a good fight mainly due to seized up bolts but in the end DnD wins and the Gixer motor is out and on the floor Basic Plans A 1216cc upgade as i have the slugs.... A coil spring conversion on the clutch as i have a coil spring lock-up and cover.... but i do need the hub and pressure plate from a Slabby 1052 motor if any one has them for sale ?? i,ve dug the frame out of the garden and after i,ve cleaned the motor will set about making some engine mounts..."i have a idea that i do have some as i ran a gixer motor in my old ET for a couple of months after a circlip failure meant an engine rebuild many years ago " so will have to have a hunt in the play pen 1st......

oilcooled motor in EFE frame needs different brackets than oilcooled motor in ET frame.
Is that blue/silver paintjob an original Suzuki scheme? I like it a lot.
This thread reminds me of the PUUATLOB thread on the old site.

This thread reminds me of the PUUATLOB thread on the old site. PUUATLOB = Project use up all the left over bits.... only difference in the mounts would be at the back if i remember correctly ...as on ET frame the top rear all bolt on but on fatty one is fixed and the other clutch side bolts on..... I,ve sussed it now ..will be using a combination of fatty's brackets and the slig5hit rubbers at the front....rest i either have in the play pen some-ware or will make....have TIG will weld............... The Blue and Silver Style job was done by painter to the stars....Keith of Nasty Paint using Suzuki Colors to replicate the EFE paint scheme....it was a simple conversation .. Me : Keith i want this Keith : ..Well You can ~uck right off I,m Not doing that it will look 5hit.. so get lost and i,ll call you when its ready... Me : Errr Ok Then....

Hate Spacer Plates and double gaskets so its saucepan cover that was with the lock-up "may mod it for quick access later"...
Stripped the RWUs as they need seals and swop the stanchions for a better pair but Maxton internals will stay
May have to cut and shut the header to get a little more clearance under-braking and stop the Tyre being toasted
