Future BEC build - Questions??

Hello All, I am planning on building an R1 or Busa powered clubbie. It will be a scratch build and I would like to get some advice before I go crazy and start building something. I am wanting to make it light, 13" wheels and street legal.

So questions
- What is the best chassis size
- Body work suppliers (want to buy whole body)

- Is there anything I should be aware of? hidden traps for new players???

Best chassis size is going to be the one that fits the body you're going to buy ?

Unfortunitly I live in Australia so i can not call you (well cost effectivlely).
I know in oz there are different rules for BEC so I am currently investigating those. What I would like is just some general information. I know this is a very general question. But if I dont ask, ill never know.....
Thanks

having lived in Oz for a few years - i'd imagine your biggest hurdle will be to make it street legal ?

I'd look into that aspect first - and see what you need to do to jump through that hurdle, it may need to be an Ausie kit ? to get through type approval etc ? or maybe there is a general route to getting home built Kits properly sorted with green slip & rego etc..

Good luck with it anyway - where about are you ?

I think MNR ltd have some suppliers out in Austrailia - maybe redback motorsport? check the site. Its a good kit, needs some owner thinking and input but they are continually developing the chassis and mainly supply bec kits
