Yes ,I looked at it. I also looked at a VFR engine too, but decided on a TDM 900 engine to keep the bikes identity (and make the project more manageable)
I am not even sure they would fit.

I work for British Gas as a thermal insulator. Posh wording for someone that fits loft insulation. Up untill February we were out 12 hours a day working non stop and earning really good money, most of which was bonus based. The scheme we were working on finished and a new one started, but on the new scheme they are mainly concentrating on hard to treat cavity walls, so the lofts have almost dried up. Since February we have rarely worked more than half a day, all the bonus money has gone and we have dropped onto just above minimum wage. Yesterday we were called into a meeting and told the amount of fitters need to be reduced by 105. Roughy 25% of the workforce. So in the next 2/3 weeks I should find if I am one of the 105.
