Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Seconded on the warning - his stuff may be ok but he certainly isn't cheap. For instance I needed a prop adapter, £80 from him, exactly the same from
MK £50. He's doesn't seem to be interested in talking unless he's taking your money either.... but that's only my opinion, Wouldn't want your
name to become what happens to you!!!
Most of the things he sells can be made up for a fraction of the price, I've made up my own engine mountings for my ZX9R which are very similar to
his which cost around £60-80 from memory, for about £3 in steel....The flash ST expansion box for the rad which is lots of money too can be replaced
by a plastic one from the scrappiest for about 50p....
If you've got no time and lots of cash then he's a good one stop shop, but if your prepared to be a bit more ingenious then you will save
££££££££.
Anyway saying that I bought my exhaust manifold from him which he had on the shelf and nobody else did, and it seems well made and was the same price
as everybody else. Shop around.....
Good to see another Ninja man on the list, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome Guys
mmm!
So what are you guys running should i be looking at mk? my budget is @ £6k mark for irs,zx9 engine, rear discs with 4x4 lsd. I have the time but lack
engineering equipment ie welding etc.
After looking at westfield (too expensive)and tigers (avon seems not to be of that good a quality)i opted for stuart taylor as they have a proven race
pedigree, being an ex single seater racer it seemed the logical choice?
Kind Regards (if a little confused )
