Is there a section with stories of mixing motors in non-factory rolling chassis?

Hey-  I want a project for my son and I to place a motor like a 220 kdx in a kx125 chassis or a xr200 in a crf 250 chassis. Any ideas on the subject - I have access to some specialty metal shop fabrication and tooling- just lookin for ideas or what to avoid. 

Thanks!

Give a search a try.  There have been a few people on here that have done these kinds of hybrids.  Would be a pretty cool project.

I've done 2 kdx/kx hybrids, most of the build info on my site.

Search here, I remember several people posting their builds.

Kdxrider.net has an entire section on the kdx/kx builds.

No specific Hybrid section exists, but (as already mentioned) if you search you can find hybrid builds in almost every specific manufacturer sub forum.

Yeah not hard to search for the info you're looking for.  The KX200 in a modern KX250F frame would be really fun.

 

I really wish someone would compile a set of data for the fit dimensions of every motor.  The X-Y offset of every motor mount from the swingarm, and the width/diameter of each motor mount as well.  Would make things a lot easier.

Every motor? Not asking for much are you? LOL!

Hah, nope!

 

Well, the bolt pattern obviously exists on prints with the manufacturers.

OK, so you are saying you will have this info for us in a couple days?

Tony Alessi at MCR is reported to be running a Suzuki 450 motor in his MCR450

I built this YZ125/WR200 hybrid. Just finished it this a couple of weeks back. I had a buddy build a KX125/KDX220 (which is what gave me the idea) and they are some fun little woods weapons. I love my Yammie, but if I were to give a recommendation, I would tell someone to go the Kawasaki route. (Better parts availability) Either way it some fun stuff to do and the right combo's can work out well enough that they totally make sense.

I am building this now for vintage racing, XR 200 motor in a 1980 RM 125 frame and it will look like a HL500.
