Hi Pigford

Thanks for the offer mate, but I don't have a gearbox problem, I was thinking of buying a ST engine to put in a bike I am building and was hoping I could convert it to chain drive.

It can be done, my 7/11 has an ST engine in it with chain drive, not entirely sure how it was done as it was fitted when purchased.

Clutch, gearbox output shaft, selector mechanism cover etc.

My £75 bid didn't win :(

It can be done, I was discussing same with Dave Marsden of Z-Power at stafford, he said it was possible, intimated that there are kits out there to this.
Help and motivation always required......
