A few months ago now I killed the motor in my Spada, being that the reg has long since lapsed I'm not going to worry about putting it on the road again. I came to the conclusion the remains aren't worth much at all so will employ my engineering talents and turn it into a track scoot, WITH A XR650 ENGINE TRANSPLANT WOO DE DOO !!!
It will be a while until I can afford a new motor so in the mean time I'll pretty much be pulling the chassis, brakes and suspension apart to give it all a tidy up, machine some new swing arm bushes, chop the tail down, etc etc.
I've already had pessimistic douche bags tell me that I'm a dick, also that it's a dumb idea and can't be done. Well fuck ya's. Im gonna do it anyway.
If anyone out there has some advice they can give me that would be sweet, also if someone has a running xr motor they don't want I'd be happy to take it off your hands (I have to try).

Progress to date - engine, radiator, complete loom, lights, tail underseat unit has been removed. Will move onto switch gear next, then chassis/suspension dismantle.
