    I'm looking for a donor bike for a cafe racer build, I'm retired and am getting bored.

    750 or 900
    Sprint, Trident, Daytona, Trophy & Speed Triple models manufactured from 1992 - 1996 (I know a few were made later).
    Later Trophy models made up to 2002.

    In short something with the T300 engine with carburettors and the spine frame.

    or a

    595
    Sprint ST or RS

    It just needs a sound motor so can be a bit tatty, about £1000 worth and would prefer it to be local - SW England. Fussy I know but it might be out there somewhere and it's worth asking, as my old Gran used to say "Shy bairns get nowt".

    Hi MH. You'd better mention that you are still looking and that I was unable to help - just in case anybody thinks it's all sorted!

    And perhaps amend the original message to remove the FI bike options?

    Best of luck with it.

    Good idea:

    Just to clarify, I'm looking to use the CRK kit. So my donor bike would need to meet the requirements ......as their website states:
    "Suitable Donor Bikes The kit is designed to fit the Sprint, Trident, Daytona, Trophy & Speed Triple models which were manufactured from 1992 - 1996 (a few were made later). It will also fit the later Trophy models made up to 2002. All these bikes have the T300 engine with carburettors and the spine frame."

    Still looking.

    I'm now the proud owner of a 1996 Trident Sprint 900

    I'm in the garage now, just starting the strip down. I'm going to take my time with this and stretch it out so have a 3 year time frame.

    I've got to make the project last as I'm retired and have got sod all else to do over the winter - I can ride my other bikes until they start salting the roads but, after that I need to keep busy.

    Mind you, saying that it's nearly stripped down already. I'll be selling off parts very soon so anyone needs any fairing or lights for a 1996 Trident Sprint 900, I will have them available.
