thanks milsomonk it isn't finished yet trying find a roll cage if anyone knows where i can get one ?

I believe Safety Devices do one. Or at least, they did, I don't know if it is still in the range. Failing that, IIRC Custom Cages have patterns for one, but they will probably be more expensive, and much harder to fit as they come as a kit (which means the whole thing needs to be professionally welded, not just the feet).

Make sure you check with your insurer first too, their attitudes to cages (and therefore, the additional premium) seem to vary wildly from one firm to another - Though I'd imagine that, if they're happy with a racing livery, it oughtn't be too much of a problem...

The Sprint engine is stronger than a 1500 unit?

I've never seen one fitted. The engine itself may fit but there wouldn't be any room for a fan/rad.

Fitting a six has been done before, it was featured in triumph world a few years back.

Here's a picture of it.

Spend the money and get Gaz adjustables with adjustable spring platforms. Then you can reset the ride height to sort whatever sort of competition you fancy from high and mighty for grasstrack to ultra-low for circuit or drifting without buying any more parts!
