Kawasaki question

[Mikkel]

I was thinking that someone in here might know if this is possible:

To easily put the engine from a KX500 into a road registrable chassis a la the KLX series.

Anyone done it, heard of it or know it's (im)possible?

Road register your KX500 instead mate.

John Boyle of Boyle Kawasaki fame has one of my old 500's reg for road use.

Contact him on (04) 3846-824 for the how to!

Tell him I sent you.

The size that fits - if there is one... Was kinda the point behind the question ;)

I don't know, that what I am asking about...

Indeed, I suppose that would be possible as well. I was just thinking it might be cheaper and less hasslesome to chuck the engine in a rolling chassis that was already road registrered.

I'm just contemplating various approaches to get hold of a powerful motard/dirtbike for a reasonable amount of money... I thought a 2-stroke 500 ccm single should do the trick :yes:

few years back had a xr500 jambed into a 250 frame with cr disc front and rear end added on i would have thought a 250 4/s frame would fit a 500 2/s
