There's a member on the US site called XSChop that makes these. Last price I seen was USD $350. Check here for more info. It's a long thread but there's lots of info and specs worth reading.

My bad, just seen an updated price and it's $650 USD.

I'm still not convinced that its a bad idea - think i'll get another frame and start there though - but still use my engine.....

Yeh, saw that one. Always wanted some fatter rubber on the back to flesh it out a bit more 8) but shafts are soooo easy and clean. ;D

$800 plus frieght, plus chain, plus 2 sprockets, plus new wheel, plus new rubber, plus flare the guard, plus hours of work, plus all the little crap that will go wrong and need a 3 hr round trip to town for that elusive bolt. ???

Looking better all the time as is. Isn't it!! :D
