Cool..
Is this the 'Busa motor or the GSX1100 motor? Are you supplying your own engine or did you get one of theirs?
Are the UK engines identical to the US ones? I'd be worried about parts.
I'd bet the new B-king engine would be the ultimate smart booster. A little more torque than the 'Busa version.

Cosmart, the Smartuki website says it is designed for a K1/K2 or K3/K4 GSXR1000 motor.
Once I receive my car I will definitely be looking into this and give you a call Eric. A 1300 will really get the 451 moving. My biggest concern right now is how to install it. I think this is beyong my capabilities mainly because I do not have a capable garage right now. Are you going to attempt the conversion yourself or do you know of a shop preferabley in SoCal?
Also, I noticed the new rear suspension has disc brakes. Is this an included conversion?
