You evil temptress you ! And it's the same age as me and Mrs EL ...

However ... it's already up to £345 with 5 days to go, and you can pick nice runners of these up for a grand and a half, so it depends what it ends up at. Also I was hoping for something a bit bigger, cc wise.

Hey all

After some umming and ahhhing I've decided to sell the VRX400 to fund the next restoration project (whatever that might be, still looking !) and to also free up garage space.

All details can be found here.

Just read the whole thing, to now be dropped with the bombshell that you're selling it!

Amazing read, and truly amazing work and dedication to get it to how it is, I am majorly impressed!

Hope the future projects are as successful as this one, bet it will be a very sad day seeing it driven away

Len,

Don't know if you're still monitoring this thread but here goes. Great project thread by the way but doing a project that involves the VRX400 in a non-Honda frame. Looking at your thread and at parts diagrams etc it seems that all three engines mounts are bolted metal to metal with frame mounts and not via any rubber bushings etc. Is this correct ?. Thanks, Henry.
