G'day guys,
Got a '50 BSA ZB31 350cc engine that I bought at auction and plan to build up for the flats, came with a frame but that's all of the bike that I've got. I'm planning to build a custom frame for it, so I'm just thinking; where can I run the engine in? Once it's all done and in the new frame, I doubt it would be able to get regoed for the road, so I guess my options would be to have a seperate, engineless regoed bike to pop the engine into, or just find a few long roads and hope I don't come across any coppers What do you guys do?
Cheers

Build it , dyno or ride it. You have no location? I build pommy bikes and really running in is not an issue anymore. Oils aint oils.

Re: Where to run in engine?
take it to a few ride/classic track days. I took the Vespa to a Broadford ride day and went in the lower level group. I was not intending to thrash it except for along the straight to see what the top speed was. There was no issue with my speed and a few of the bigger bikes were going slower than me You'd have no problem just blatting around at your own pace.

Fair enough, good idea! Shame that the racetrack in Perth is an absolute disgrace
