Race fairing for a Thundercat

The aim is to prepare a bike as cheaply as possible for my son and I to race but still be able to show the CBRs a thing or two. I need a race fairing - does anyone know if they're available at a sensib...

Why? Because I can...

.....or can I?
Another of those "Will it fit" questions". Looking to at the feasibility of putting an R6 engine (hopefully a late model) in an FZR600 frame. Anyone know how practical this is? I have welding gear and a disc cutter! Somebody must have done this.......or at least tried.

1000 to 750 wheel swap - done it.

The wheel has to be made narrower (by machining away the outer part of the cush drive) to fit inside the swingarm. The cush rubbers need to be cut away by the same amount. It does fit ...
