How hard these C&J frames to find?

Bruised  :P

Ask Jeff Cole to build you one. He restarted a small series for the XR500 motor last year (I bought 4 of them). May be he also does the 300.

frko...heres some pics of my mates C&J ...58 hp ..cracking bike..


58 bhp is very precise and very high for a pre RFVC 500. Interesting. Was this measured on a dynamometer?
Some claim to be able to get even more but it is all top end power only good for flat track.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Rod Spry or someone close to his circle is reproducing C&J frames in the UK. Perhaps one of our Pom mates can enlarge....

Rod Spry sells. The guy from Hectors Racing fabricates.
Now, is a C&J not built by a C&J guy actually a C&J...? Opinions will no doubt vary... :)

Hectors, now I remember! I wonder how the quality compares to an original Jeff Cole frame?

Colins (Hectors) work is of VERY high quality, cromo with stunning TIG welds.

The ignition may be fine to 12k rpms but I can't imagine an RFVC engine living long at those rpms.  Rob Muzzy made good hp from them but most other tuners didn't make big numbers.

I think we are talking about the NON RFVC motor here.

In any case, with great power comes great breakage ... :)
