Tail is off an R1 5PW, and whilst it is a tad higher than I intended, it needed to be at that angle to house the battery and electronics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thunderace . Engine swap
I've got 2 aces, one uses oil the other doesn't! I'm lead to understand it's the rings at fault not the stem oil seals! Apparently if you fit the rings from a GTS the problem is solved! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thunderace project
Well more I've looked today the more I like it, front of seat is to be lifted by 30mm and a filler panel constructed! Was going to adapt the ace plastic battery box to lay the battery flat but have decided to make a fresh box and fuse carrier out of ally sheet instead Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No idea, dog bones are same length! I bought a full linkage off a Ducati so I had more choice of shocks as Ducati has eyes both ends and ace has eye and fork at bottom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thunderace project
Hi I'm Paul, new here from Ripon North Yorks. My Thunderace was bog standard when I bought it First job polished the rims and fit a stubby can Then disaster..knocked off by an old bloke and insurance declared bike a right off (paint damage) so bought it back, bought another frame and decided to do some modifications Got an R1 5PW rear Which will require subframe alteration So the cutting bending and head scratching started TIG welded Mock up getting ready for paint And a new shock off a ZX12R with Ducati dog bones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
