Hi people and thanks for the welcome.

I'm looking for some help (quite a lot actually :D)

As some of you may have read in the @Welcome to the Madness@ section I have emigrated over from Scotland along with the engine from my old 'fighter

http://i808.photobucket.com/albums/zz9/siminoz63/IMG_1127.jpg

The engine is a GSX 1260 with a fair ammount of work done to it

1260 Wiseco kit with machined and balanced pistons
Stage 2 Hi lift cams with adjustable cam sprockets
1MM oversize int and exh valves with APE HD valve springs
Flowed and ported head
APE manual cam chain tensioner
Pinned, welded and balanced crank
Billet clutch basket
GSX 750 oil pump gears
13 row Serck oil cooler and dual external oil lines
Dyna S ignition with Dyna coils and Taylor plug leads
Mikuni 36mm flatties with K&N pods

Thing is though I need a chassis to put it in and am having trouble finding one due to my lack of contacts here in Melbourne. My dream is to build a hot Kat but also love the look of the original GSX 11 ET's and that is what I'm looking for a GSX 11 frame/chassis.
I'm not looking to do anything too extreme, you know USD front end, box s/arm, Ohlin shocks etc., etc.
Other thing is I want my engine re built but properly so am looking for some one with intimate knowledge of these gorgeous motors.
Any help advice direction piss taking to get me started on my project would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance peeps :)

If it is ok with oldskool, there is a frame sitting in my garage that may interest you. Good thing is I'm in Melbourne too.

Hi OLDSKOOL. I do apologise for not responding. Absolutely not my intention to be rude [:I]
I would certainly appreciate any help advice or whatever you may wish to offer. If you are going to 80"s Freaks piss up I'll say Hi.
Wrists suitably slapped [:I]
El Hefty thanks for that but I prefer the ET to the EFE and I'd rather try to get something locally initially at first.
