Mk indy fire blade engine
I am in the process of building a mk with a Honda fire blade engine. Are the standard engine mounting bolts OK to use ? Or do I need to get some
fabricated the engine was supplied without these bolts so not sure !

The original ones are fine. Good luck with the build, I have had my Indyblade for several years now and it still puts a smile on my face when I drive
or track day it.

Are the standard ones long enough?
Never seen the blade ones but my R1 ones were not long enough due to the cradle being thicker than the bike frame.

It's some time ago since I built my Indyblade, but I cannot remember having to have bolts made up, therefore I must have used the originals. I
maybe wrong and I apologise if so.

The original bolts are to short!
So I have made up the long ones on the lathe to the extended length needed. Using steel rod and threading the ends, got 2no new bolts for the upper
engine mounting points re threading to take the new bolts these again needed to be longer.
