I found this bike which is a few hours away from my house and absolutly love everything about the bike besides the engine of course. It has a 125 engine in it and claims to be a Legend frame (not sure what that is). I was wondering if you guys think a 650 engine would fit into this fairly easy, and what if any you think would need to be changed?
Would I just need to create custom motor mounts? Would the sprocket on the engine be a problem lining up to the rear? I guess I'm looking into what problems might arise and how much of a pain they would be to tackle and if it would just be a waste of money to go this route. I don't have a welder or anything so I would have to probably take it to someone for those things. Anyways I think you get my concerns, let me know what you think.
