Due to a no show I am having to advertise again. The guy didn't even have the decency to ring me back, wouldn't even answer his phone, then just texted to say it wouldn't  fit in his garage, what part of this did you not understand BEFORE YOU BID. As a consequence I am so p888ed  off I am selling everything off on this project, and if you have low feedback or cant forward a tel no BEFORE you bid, please DO NOT BID. If you read the original legend below I am now selling with the Hayabusa clocks fitted, as i no longer have the time or inclination to unpick from  the loom, and because i realise i will never use all the engines ect i had accumulated i want it all gone, so I am also selling the original CBR 1000 engine with 7000 miles, which was fitted originally to the car before I fitted the Busa engine. as well as the spare engine, with I think 28000 miles which was the engine i was selling with the car, as per the original legend below, ( note this was a salvage engine but I have never heard running) as a result  of getting rid of all my trike stuff, i now also have  a few extra sets of ignition coils and cdi spark units,  and now I am also including the 2 off spare scrap engines as well, one with cam chain issues, and the other with I think a gearbox problem. I also said in the legend below, that if i was putting her back on the road again, i was dispensing with the body and fitting cycle wings, i dont have the cycle wings but i did buy the new small headlights as per westfield  ect which will also be included in the sale. Ive tried to put a few pics of components, and quality of work, ie front wishbones tig welded, and their is an image of where the 50 dia  roll hoop joins up with the bottom of the chassis, instead of just botching it together, i took the time to make a couple of tapered spool pieces, to feed the loads into the 30 dia tube work  correctly ime not saying every weld ect is perfect, and a few brkts have just been temp tacked on, the only part i would rework is the rear swing arm damper mount, i just wanted to get it back on the road asap, but it was an ongoing project, never meant to be sold, and if i had the space i would keep, but realistically i am ready to let it all go. Please view before you bid. As regards the actual trike it has over the years, only covered in total 2000 miles, and was originally built up with i think mk4 Cortina hubs, fitted with new bearing throughout, and new discs ect. plus 3 new adjustable suspension units, and when i fitted the Busa engine, i made several further modifications,  of which these parts have only done 200 miles.  converted the swing arm to single sided, incorporated all new brgs, new back tire and Jag alloy rim new front ali rad, and silicone hoses  new pedal box fitted with new clutch master cylinder, and also new twin Girling master brake cylinders, with balance bar.  The Busa clocks were fitted, and when i bought the salvaged bike it had only completed 4000 miles, (note a few plastic mounting lug pegs are broken on backside, but does not effect clocks. The wiring loom is fitted with a trailer plug and socket at each end of trike to enable easy disconnection from chassis for maintenance ect. So once again for sale, PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT GENUINE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME (OR MORE IMPORTANTLY MINE). Due to previous individual not collecting i have had to postpone new tenant moving in till next month, which has cost me money, so you now have 3 weeks MAX to collect 
                  Due to a further loss of storage space at the end of this month, at a greatly reduced price. Home built 3 wheel road registered trike, or cheap trackday projectile, with a Honda CBR 1000 motor complete, inc  carbs and ecu The motor being supplied, had been removed from a salvage vehicle recorded 28,000 miles from new, and this was the spare motor, but I have never heard this motor running, as I had already had fitted another very low miles cbr 1000 engine, and this was then later replaced with a Busa motor, and the Busa engine has now been sold, and the CBR motor will require refitting with new engine mounts to suit. Please note this engine has not run for over 10 years, i used to turn it over on the engine sprocket every six months, and tip it over to slosh some oil up the bores, but have not done so for 5 years, but should be fine. Will take picture of motor when I can get to it, but I have a stationary steam engine in the way, and will upload asap. I had lost a big chunk of my workshop space, and i now am having to move again, and am no longer able to store the trike period, so please do not bid if you cant collect unless you are happy for it to sit in the yard till you can collect, the engine is stored at home so fine. Trike still has the busa clocks ect, ( NOTE these will be removed before sale.) but I think I have a set of cbr clocks you can have in the sale price, (but ONLY if I can find them) please add me to your favorites list and keep checking, lots more stuff to go, I have several more cbr 1000 engines, one with only 7000 miles, plus a complete cbr 1000 motorcycle with a fresh motor, needs the forks putting back on ect ect, and the original spare engine, with I think cam chain ? issues for spares, plus some spares for a Busa motor including a new dry sump, and alternator plus cam chain kit, not to mention lots of engineering tooling, all going on ebay shortly.  ((( Please, Cash on collection, or cleared cheque,)))  i cant adjust my ebay settings but collect only, and no no no returns. IMPORTANT although this vehicle has been road registered, and has been as far as Goodwood in one day, over 280 miles via A roads, lots more fun than motorways, and a week round the Isle Of Man, this is a  an incomplete project which will require a considerable amount of work, and a reasonable skill set to get back on the road, and is sold as scrap, spares or repair, you must decide if it is fit for use. Sorry to see it go it has been a lot of fun, the new front rad and rear jag tyre have done less than 200 miles, and they alone come up to £300, but i have a new project i wish to persue, and selling will give me some valuable space, and  stop me diluting my time, and filling the coffers.  Personally if i were to put her back on the road again, i intended to dispense with the body and just fit cycle wings and a bonnet.  I could rebuild on your behalf, if required, as we do have full workshop machining and welding facilities, as well as a grit and vapour blasting service. If you want any info regards an installation or just advice, even if you dont want my motor thats fine, but please dont contact till after 6pm please. Any info via ebay or tel/text 07964049808  yours Dave
