i know how everybody hate crazy outragous speed claims... and i havnt used my gps to find out (i use my phone, and i dont get 3g coverege here, makes my smartphone a big paperwight...) but iv had a friend follow behind me, she said she was going "about 45" holding distance. i think it will goes, id say between 38-42 toped out on flat ground, with me as streamline as i can get with out taking me feet off the pedals.
the main issue with mounting it the width of the mount, if you've got a dremmil tool(or a file like i used), you can just grind it wider, its a great frame to use but I've been having trouble out of the rear hub, bearings keep flying apart on me. you will have to use the longer studs for mounting too, but its all fairly simple i can post close up picks of mounting if you'd like, if your using the GT-5 frame you will run into more problems with mounting the gas tank, what i did was, flit the gas tank mounts over and mounted them from above by drilling holes in them. front brakes may give you an issue too, i haven't figured the best way to go. if anybody would like to chime in?

I just got this from Pirate Cycles and it's awesome: Sunlite Springer W Canti Studs Exellent Quality
Thx for the advice I think that I am going to try it out next week. I will keep you updated. Also what type of intake did you use to solve the carb clearance issue with the falcon? I was thinking either an offset intake manifold or a billet intake. Thx
I just ordered a GT-R from bikebuyers. 
How did you seal the top tube? It doesn't have any holes other than at the head and seat post, does it?
