XS650 Enthusiast
I wrote a whole monologue on this and the draft vanished so once again...
Hello, new to forum and in London UK. I had a 1990 750 slingshot from which I removed the engine and stuck it in a short stroke frame for road racing in the early 90's, this one had an 1100 transplant which blew up and has been redundant for 30 years+. I also had an xs650 motor that was going in a featherbed frame one day until I saw pound notes and sold it a Norton enthusiast. I won't insult members intelligence by listing modifications, this is more welding on than cutting off, yes it's measured out although this pic shows screwdrivers the 10M bolt is being machined at 330mm 12.9 steel, the mounting points on the frame lengthened the lower rear mount is a monster as the gixxer's sit so much lower, the top rear is a cut out section of a Kawasaki swingarm which will be welded to the shock mount spar which in turn will be strengthened. I'll leave it there for now, constructive criticism and mockery welcome, abuse of a classic engine/frame accusations happily accepted. "You'll never get that to work" but as they say in Belfast "god loves a chancer"
