Might be able to use 2 of the current holes for the top mounts. Just need to make some spacers and line them up. For the bottom I will see when the top mounts are done.
Both top and bottom mounts fit on the inside of the original sub-frame.

Interesting combo mate. I like it.
Its good to see something different!
I reckon it'll come up good!
Been colloecting a few parts slowly for the build.
Billet engine casings
Samco hose kit
billet steering damper bracket
Stainless Bolt kit
Leo Vinci GP Por muffler
here mine with the top mounts fitted,shaped the ones that were already there and drilled and taped for bigger holes.
will be fitting the bottom lugs during the week.
^^^Thats nice FIGHTERMC. Is that a Desmosedici seat unit?
i'm not that up on ducati's mate.
guy down the road from me was braking
a 749 and i got the hole lot as you see in the pic for 250 euro.
I'm thinking of widening the top mount and using that one directly as the MV subframe is narrower than the Gixxer one. I'll just machine up a set of spacers and line it up.
Well, it was good to get back in the shed again. Had to do some work on my R1, so got the tank re-clear coated as I wasn't happy with the finish of it. I've also removed the subframe off the Gixxer and I am lining it up with the MV sub-frame. Gonna draw up some alloy spacers to be able to line up the top mount and then cut and gring to fit as well as order some stepped bolts to bolt up the top mount.
Once that is done I will cut off the bottom mount and machine up a spigot to slot into the round tube of the MV sub-frame and bend up some new tubing to join it to the Gixxer sub-frame.
I'll upload some pics soon to explain what I mean
Been a bit slack lately. Finally got the welder to weld on the spacer plate that I made for the upper mount of the subframe. Then drilled the hole out to an M8 and lined up the top mount. I'm gonna have to cut down the tie rod ends as they are gonna have to be shorter than I thought, but that's an easy one.
In the meanwhile I've also had the head reco'd. Valve stems and seats have been re-machined, head has been acid dipped and new stem seals fitted.
Starting putting the engine back together today. Big thanks to 80's Freak for his shed and valuable time
Ok, looking for some peoples opinions here for a headlight choice. Looking at getting one of these two:
i like the top one jules i havent seen it used much
Glenn Eason drinks and smokes and lends his arse to other blokes
This is what the bike is looking like right now
Yeah Rod, I've been thinking about the top one for a while now, but I like the other one as well. hmmm
flip a coin

I think the lines on this headlight matches the lines of the tail better. Where as the other headlight's lines seem sharper?
