    Blackbird + ??

    I've got a blackbird roller, no engine, what would be nice to graft in there.
    Probably more of a drag bike.

    Know a bloke who put a blackbird motor in a FZR400....
    I dunno that anything in particular will fit easily, but I imagine anything watercooled with the timing chain hung off the side would probably fit width wise.

    Do you want to stick to brand loyal engine to frame? why not a hotted up GSX 1400 or ZXR 1400 or bigger if this is a drag bike project. Stick a snail or 2 on it and turn it right up. Check out the adrenalin bikes ebay store for donor bike engine.

    ...or Pete's K5 750 with the same engine shoved in it. Just down to how much work you want to do I guess?

    I saw Pete's at AFR. I was thinking GSX1400 initially, cheap, plenty around. I'm easy, cheap is key at this point in time.
