Hi if you give colibriman a u2u he might be able to sort you out .
Yes you do need a cat i think someone on here has one and loans it out for sva.

You could try keeping an eye on http://www.sidenet.co.uk/cgi-bin/class/class_ad.pl?action=View+&cat=Engines&scat=All&display=25&begin=1&end=10 There seems to be a fairly regular supply on here as they are a popular choice with sidecar boys. I collected mine yesterday from a guy on there. 2003, 1600 miles for £1000. Had to collect from Dartford but worth the trip.

What sort of extra hassle is fitting an injected R1 as opposed to carb'd?
