Re: Fzr400 Engine Swap Questions
Gonna need to have more of a think about it, I'd rather go with a Thundercat engine as I can pick one up a lot easier over the 3he but it seems like abit more work to get into the 1wg frame
Drop me a pm though, Also wouldn't mind asking you abit more about the r6 header modifications

Re: Retrieving Reg Plate Help
No idea how it works over there but I would find a Yamaha dealer and ask if they can run your numbers I know the owner of a dealer/bike shop here and when I bought the 250 he said if it was a kwaka he could have looked up the background on it. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8564/wwwrampantracin...
