Thx for giving away another frame kit! I love your products!

I would love a frame JIG! Thx! Tim

I am adding a front end from a 2012 R6 and have been contemplating a mono shock rear suspension. Also in my quest to have spokes and disk brakes front and rear I have a swing arm and hub that will meet that goal. Please let me know what mods you tackle over the coming months. thx! tim

You are correct, thx! That makes a lot of sense. What other mods are you planning ?

Great! When you say the "700 route" are you planning to over bore the stock cylinders? If so who makes the larger pistons? Tim PS is Jonesville near Coldwater?

For me the major upside of doing a rephase is less vibration at higher RPM's. My plan for the bike is to ride the back road of northern Michigan so high RPM is realy not needed. What I don't like the side effect of making the bike sound like a V-Twin (no offense to those who do) if I wanted that...

Thank you for all the great information! When I get further into the build I will post some pic's and info. Tim

I have given some thought to the big bore kit, but it seems like the $'s to HP ratio is not very good? I am thinking about a rephrase engine with higher compression pistons, large bore carbs, electronic ignition, high flow exhaust and a high lift cam might be the better way to go? You would do...

Thanks for the info. :thumbsup: After I posted my question I did a bit of research with the online parts finder at my local dealer. I did find that the 73 rods and pistons do carry the prefix of 256 and that changed to 447 in 74. I am building a café racer and have started looking into parts...

I have been reading about the all the variations of the 650 engines. I have a 73 TX650 with the 366 engine. Is the 366 a 256 or a 447? Or something in between? Thx!

Thx for your input. I did find a hub, swing arm etc from a 77 Suzuki GS750 at a salvage yard here in Michigan. As you said it will require some mods but I think it will work well.

Thank you!
