was just wondering if any one could help me with some info...i have a 74 tx 500 with bad motor (cracked head, picked it up cheap and it looks excellent and is currently registered) and i am picking up a xs 650 special cheap from a buddy.. does anyone know how much hassle i'd be looking at, putting the 650 motor into the 500 frame? i have to do this as the 650 has way out of date tags (and in Ca they are brutal with fees) and the rest of the bike is kinda beat, but has a strong engine..... any tech help would be appreciated thanks
12/3 Thanks for the couple of responses.. i found that putting the 650 in a tx500 would not be very wise, due to the tx500 being much smaller, so im looking for a good 650 frame with current registration maybe make a chop or something. i will delete entire post as soon as i figure this shit out
