What your've forgot to say Higsti is yours is the 897cc ( SVA friendly version ) When I first looked to find an engine for my first build guys were selling these kits not bikes for £1000 as the westy guys go mad for them, gets you through SVA on a better emissions test.

Ive seen the bike as is and it really is a good buy, straight, just missing the rectifier which is no biggy as I think the kitcar workshop do an upgraded one for just over £100 as this is a weak link on the blades.

Ok so if I were to fit that engine. What else would I need.

Manifold
Prop flange
Cables
Gear linkage

Seems like a good deal when you factor in its an undamaged bike. Will have word with my girlfriends Dad and hopefully come take a look as he knows a bit more about bikes than me. What does this part that is missing actually do then?

I went for the 3 points as I already have a set in pretty much new condition so dont want to start selling things at a loss when they can go onto the kit. Yes they will fit as the eyelet is located just begind where the shoulder straps meet.

im not certain but think the regulator alters the current from the alternator back to 12v

as Ive said above its the blades weak link so the upgraded one would be a better choice

the rectifier destoys the voltage if higher then 14volts... sow thats the reason that when taking more current from it the heat will be less.
