Speak to AB performance, they'll talk you round to BEC way of thinking.
BEC's are only fragile if installed incorrectly. Uprates springs in the clutch are a must (£25) as well as a rubberised propshaft (not the correct term I know, but can't remember what they're actually called). Cable gearchange also comes recommended. You may need a baffled sump and some engines need either a billet sump (quite pricey) or a dry sump (also quite pricey).
I'm intending installing a smaller pre 1995 bike engine in mine to get through the dreaded IVA (already have an RF600 full bike, so will be using that engine), and then when in "explodes" a week after test will be fitting a newer engine. I have an R1 engine all ready to fit in, but may have to sell it to help fund the rest of my build, then buy another later.
