From personal experience (from my GSXR front end swap swap) these things are never about the time
or the money - I can't speak directly for Sam but would imagine that he enjoys his TL as the primary starting point & also enjoys the creative engineering challenge to end up with something unique. What is really impressive is that while I would perceive the SSSA to be driven by aesthetic value initially, he has taken intense engineering steps to ensure he has a rear end that
functions really well.
I can relate with the Triumph - I love the Triumph engine but was not crazy about the handling - the GSXR front end transformed it into something that performs so much better than the original, not to mention looks a whole better (in my biased opinion). I can also honestly say that I got a lot of satisfaction out of
doing the project as much as the result.
