I decided it was time to start a thread on the new build so here's the story. Got a strait sv650 frame with title on eBay for 90$ then bought all the rear suspension and wheel stuff on eBay piece by piece which totalled about 135$ for everything. Got an fzr600 front end for 50$ locally (off the same exact bike my fzr600 raptor engine came from) and I got an r6 tank year unkown and a ninja500 seat from that same local shop for 20$. The original plan to put the raptor660 engine in this frame is not looking good the starter hits the frame if I try an get the motor up where the sprockets would line up. So at this point motor is still unkown but here is a pic of what's up so far.

Clearance the frame, or sell/trade me the motor so i can put it in a custom chop for my son...

 

[jnimbostratus]

I will trade that motor. What do you have in mind?

 

[SEBSPEED]

Not what you might need? Clear clutch window? Custom triples? Vfr rear wheel?

I'm really just interested in a motor for this thing. If you had a kickstart lump I would trade for something like that but for now I'm going to take another stab it sliding the raptor motor up in there.

ok

I always thought CR500 thumper would be bad ass in an SV650. Subbed.

Cr500 2 stroke lol thumpers are 4 strokes

 

[Thebrandonbeezy]

Although.. you keep it light enough and did maybe a big bore or something that cr500 would be knarly in there.. that is if you can kick it haha

Unfortunately cr500 motors are a small fortune and I'm the cheapest bastard in the world. I would love to do it but cost is just absurd.

Update..? Bought a cbr900rr in pieces for 300$ last winter and slapped it together and been just riding the shit out of it. Now going into winter its time to build. I also got a free basket case xt600 last winter that a put together and had a blast riding it but i think im going to have to yank that motor out for the svsomthing build. Opinions?

Well i did some irreversible mods to the frame to mock up the xt600 motor and i love the fit and am super excited to build this bastard

Well motor is mounted. Mounts are only tack welded but it was solid enough to do a burnout after i bolted a 520 sprocket to the rear wheel. I would love to post some pics if somone could recommend a decent free host.

Jnim,
Your work space reminds me of the inside of the thing in Star Wars where the droids ended up after landing on Tattonine. Just Sayin.
