Cheers Shane,

yeah, Spadge and I got one in there. It does go, but we cheated as the exhaust manifolds were done before I got it. BUT.... I'm looking at getting some proper manifolds made up as they are abit restrictive, so if it does happen, stay tuned!

There's another thread about the problems encountered somewhere.

Notice the brake resevoir bottles and the PAS bottle. Very hard to get a brake servo in there!

Better than with the M30 I had in there! Weight is almost the same, but then again, I've got a touring, so it's balanced either way. But the M30 seemed to plow on in corners where the M60 is more balanced.
