Thanks guys

Putting a 1000DS motor in a carbie involves not only a complete strip down, but also changing the loom, and a lot of other stuff, which can obviously be done but is a pain, and although converting a single side arm'd bike to twin is doable, it's a lot easier to start with a conventional swing arm bike in the first place.

The conversion is then a simple case of welding in a tube and mounts for the hoop style rocker and bolting in a M900/851 ali arm, which I already have a spare of.
The welding isn't something I'm at all worried aboutl, so for me it's the quickest and easiest way to achieve the proper hoop type classic look with the newer engine etc.
