Much appreciated John, only if you have time, no urgency.

Hi O-B,
The main tubes are 28mm O/D, the smaller tubes behind the tank and up to the seat are 20mm O/D, if I had an ultrasound thickness tester I could have told you wall thickness
Do you have a cunning plan in place of a CX or GRF frame, what you need to top it is a big bore kit, 72 degrees ported head and Keihin carbs I wonder where i put them
Sounds interesting
John

It's a flight of fancy at the moment, pure left field thinking and you know how my mind works by now so indulge my fantasy for a moment. Guy on the bay of fools is selling a set of moulds for racing bodywork, tank, seat etc for the Saturno. I'm thinking make a set of carbon fibre bodywork, build a perimeter frame for it based on the real Saturno frame dimensions but build it around my Husqvarna motor/inner frame/swingarm. Not a Saturno as such but a cafe racer inspired by it. Loads cheaper than buying a real one, which ain't happening, and the Husky would be similar in output if not a tad more bhp. Yes, no, maybe?

Oh, and big thanks for the tube diameters John, much appreciated as usual.

canceling something on my weekend to do list

If you have the moulds... maybe you can sell parts for a little amount finacing your project

ciao Joachim

That idea had crossed my mind too...... although i don't think many people are racing Saturnos in the UK regularly.
