Hi everyone, I've been a spectator on the bike engine topics on this site for a while now so thought i'd better join up, I don't actually have a locost but I do have a Capri, Mk1 fiesta, Mk4 Escort and a Reliant Kitten which I am converting to front engine, prop driven bike power, hence the interest in your forum.

I had pretty much settled on an R1 due to a standard shallow sump, apparently not needing a dry sump kit as the standard one is sufficient with the oil filled to max even though I was planning on fitting a baffle to the sump, but what about the 2004 cbr1000rr? I know they give good power but can they be fitted in a front engined rear wheel drive set up without a dry sump kit? is the standard sump up to it? Anyone running one?

Thanks in advance

Marc

Injection R1 would need a sump baffle. 04-06 also need a breather mod. Can't comment on the blade.

Blades usely run a baffled billet sump
