Evening all. Not a corner of PH I usually inhabit but wondering if any one has any pointers? As the title suggests, I'm looking for a UK producer who makes kits for these? 550 spyder and 356 speedsters have never quite done it for me but the 917 ticks every box. I've been mulling them over for years and now have a garage available to rent and fancy a bit of a (first) but hopefully less difficult project.

Thanks in advance guys!

Cheers! My brain has had a fart! It's actually a 718 that I was after....Will ask mods to change the title.

Very good starter kit to build, not too difficult for a beginner and very rewarding to drive, upgrades to engine BHP is very easy mainly all bolt-ons, beware of the IVA inspection reg's this kit was designed in the the 80's, you may have problems -I did !!
Are they still offered? Yep, a total amateur but brother is a mechanical engineer and builds/ designs bikes so help would be at hand if needed.
