You doubt me Mr Boris! :whistle:

My plan is to build a cafe racer with it.
Google "docs chops xv 750" is was on the cafe racer tv show a couple of years ago.
I've actually got an almost new set of CBR600 RR3 RWU forks that fit the spare 3Tj SP yokes I have and the yokes almost fit the XV frame, I can then use decent brakes on it, the only thing is I'm not sure if it'll look "right" or not.
The original XV top yoke looks old skool and better for it, the FZR looks a bit angular but might come out ok with a bit of machining and a satin finish.
Then there's the wheels to sort and tank and exhaust........

I remember that bike and the programme. Didn't they get the actor from scrubs to test it ?

Ben Bostrom and Eric his brother tested it around some small US race track.
