There are not a lot of light options for the diff but the 7" will be lighter than the 7 1/2" and both lighter than a fixed axle
I thought that Westfield used the Freelander diff in their cars?

As for engine choice, I think it will be eventually be the lighter all alloy Ford item, so the Duratec / Zetec SE will be the ones I will be looking out for. Not sure on capacity just yet.

I am not 'anti-bike-engines' its just I think its more sensible to me at the minute to go car engine.
