The project’s been baptized!

Work in project YellowONE commenced this week with one VOR 503 E loosing its engine and one supermono racer gaining the very same.
So, off I went to Lasse who’s keeping the YellowONE in his Ducati garage. Would the engine fit into the swingarm brackets? Jeez, only a few tenths off! Out comes the grinding tool and the grinding’s done. Purrrrfect! However… The engine can’t sit level as the carburettor is squeezed between the engine and the bracket for the rear suspension. This also means the driving sprocket sits a bit too low, meaning the chain will eat it’s way into the plastic swingarm chainguard. Ahhhh, shite!
Solution’s on the drawing board (what drawing board?) and it feels great the project’s on its way!!!
