Don't even think of building a chassis from the book - it won't fit together and it will take up so much of your time, compared to the cost of buying one. The main suppliers these days are Procomp, Stuart Taylor and Luego - all of which can be found on the web. After that, they're all the same! Read the regulations on the www.750mc.co.uk website as you are allowed a few mods over and above Ron's book. And then come along to a race and have a look at as many as you can to get some ideas!

Hiya Shag,

The best thing you can do is come to a race meeting, where you'll get as much advice as you can handle!

We're a pretty amenable bunch really & I'm sure anyone in the field (myself included) would be happy to answer your queries. We're at Snetterton on 9th & 10th October, and Mallory Park on 24th October - I'll keep an eye out for you!!

All the best,
Dave Black(ie)
