Fallen back in love with Project Trike so I'll have to make some space / raise funds due to new parts arriving this weekend.
APRILIA RSV ENGINE
Gen 1 V-twin Engine. Bit grubby, but turns freely. Don't know miles or year. Comes with starter, but no other ancillaries.
£235 + delivery (if required)
I could provide a Gen 1 ECU with a 'Gabro' Eprom for an additional £95.
SMART ROADSTER SHELL
2004. Cat D (was front panel damage only). I don't have the V5, but it can be got from DVLA.
Comes with...
Both doors.
Windscreen
Rear Screen
Steering column, rack and rods
Full suspension / uprights / hubs
Brakes & handbrake assy
Tank
Bootlid
Bonnet (slight damage... repairable)
Rear panels (different colours)
It does NOT have any interior, lights, wheels or drivetrain.
My plan was to keep the interior stripped out... cut out the front screen and replace with fly-screen... remove the the rear screen... fit bike
engine... and generally try and get it less than 600KG.
£395. I can arrange delivery at cost.
MG KV6 ENGINE
V6 engine. Bare with no belt covers. Again, I don;t know the year or miles. Turns over.
£50 + delivery (if required).
BMW BASED CAFE RACER / BOBBER BIKE PROJECT
Gutted about letting this one go as it will make a fine bike when done!
Parts comprise (all used unless stated otherwise)...
BMW HP2 Sport engine / gearbox / swingarm / bevel-box / rear Brembo brake assy.
NEW R1200S 6" wide wheel
WP rear shock from KTM RC8R
All black WP forks / yolks / spindle from KTM super duke
NEW 'fat' Renthal bars
Brembo Monobloc front calipers
NEW Honda Fireblade grips
BMW R80 frame with V5 (helpfully just states 'BMW Motorcycle' on it
)
BMW R1200S rear subframe (has had bits chopped off an was to be used as a jig for incorporating the drivetrain into the R80 style frame).
NEW headstock machined by West Garage (minitici) to suit the WP forks... just weld it onto the frame once you've established your geometry.
Not cheap I'm afraid as these are all top-notch components. £3,750.
I reckon you'd spend another couple of £K getting it built and then have a beautiful custom bike (which should be worth a tidy packet!).
I'M CHASING MY TAIL JUST NOW, BUT WILL TRY AND GET SNAPS ASAP!
Also have a good set of 220mph Busa clocks. £80.
Damn if there wasn't a large amount of salt water between us I would have taken the roadster. I wonder if 3 pallets would cover the foot print size of the car hmmm .
Where are you?
A quid for the lot delivered, final answer Scooter old son
I know I know i'm being reckless but hey lets push the boat out after all it is thursday
P.S free bump for a top mans bargain wares .
[Edited on 21/2/13 by CRAIGR]
Sorry Craig, but I won't accept any less than 80p for the lot delivered and I insist that you must also take the shirt off my back!
Ffs, somebody please buy the Roadster! I don't have £400, I don't have room and I don't have time for another project but other than those tiny details, I want it!!
Did I mention I'm doing a special £65 delivery price to Whitby!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Must be a done deal then owelly?
Or you both meet at mine in the middle for tea and scones ?
hmm smart roadster......... is the windscreen surround metalwork for sale ?!!!!
Hmmm. If I could sell my motory bike then I may have an excuse to buy another project......
What's your motory bike Owelly?
PS - this is what I kind of anticipated doing with the Smart car...
Remove the rear glass, then chop off the front screen entirely...
Or remove the rear glass, then chop the screen partially and fit a flyscreen to the shortened staunchions.

Looks a bit Lotus like that.....11? not sure of the model
this one

franky - 4/3/13 at 08:01 PMI'm very very interested in the bike project but not sure if i've got the spondoolies at the minute.
Can you send me more info/pics? Is the engine with loom/sensors/ecu etc etc?
scootz - 4/3/13 at 08:11 PMHi Frankie. I'll try and get some half decent snaps through the week for you (it's stuck at the back of a packed garage).
No ECU I'm afraid.
All the sensors were chopped from the loom and are currently attached to the engine. The loom would only have been useful if you intended running the HP2 Sport ECU and dash... these are like the proverbial hens teeth second hand and would cost the guts of £3k new. The BMW system is also notorious for throwing hissy fits if used without ALL the original bikes systems. I'd planned to run a Race Technology Dash 2 and an Omex or DTA... a third of the cost of the OEM stuff and offer better tuning options.

scootz - 31/3/13 at 08:38 PMAll still available.
Loads of eBay watchers on the bike project, but no biters yet.![]()
Can't believe the RSV lump hasn't shifted... it's a great wee engine... super-light, dry-sump as standard, 130bhp and 75ft/lbs of linear torque. Someone get it in a single-seater or buggy!
scootz - 10/4/13 at 02:52 PMWill someone please come and take the KV6 engine away! £25 and it's yours!
mcerd1 - 10/4/13 at 04:57 PMwell I would, but I've got no were to put it.....
scootz - 10/4/13 at 05:07 PMYes you have.... come and get it!
mcerd1 - 10/4/13 at 05:17 PMoh and SWMBO kill me if I buy more car stuff before the bathroom's done......
(not like I can drive for the next couple of months anyway)
smokeysworld - 10/4/13 at 08:40 PMWhere are you located for the kV6? I am in Crieff and would take it off your hands....?
scootz - 10/4/13 at 08:41 PMHaddington, East Lothian.
smokeysworld - 10/4/13 at 08:50 PMTotally feasible then. What is attached to it? Is it without inlet manifold/vis motors? Is it only the belt covers missing (I have spares lol!) I'm scrapping my blown one as I just replaced it so will need to take the bits off the broken engone that this one is missing?
Cheers for the quick reply too.
scootz - 10/4/13 at 08:56 PMAs seen in these pics...
Think there is an oil cooler, AC pump and clutch / flywheel... you're welcome to them (if they are indeed there).

I also have 2 starters... one for the PG1 box and one for the Getrag. I'd be looking at a tenner for either of them... or £15 for both.
