Thanks to my good buddy ridesolo, I have been bitten by the large cc thumper engine swap bug. I have a cb550 project that would be the candidate frame, and a little thumper would sure make a neat little high torque around town terror. I almost had a deal made on a mt250 smoker motor, but that fell through, and maybe just as well. I may be able to make a deal on a 400ex atv motor, and was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with using one for a swap into a bike (very specific situation I know) I rode a 400ex when I was younger, and I know they are torque monsters, but I am just unsure on some things like sprocket offset ect.
I am well aware that it will in to way be a "bolt in" project and that motor mounts will need made this and that, but I was wondering if it has been done. I have seen a successful swap in of a XR600 engine in a 360 frame on here.
Thanks in advance!
