Seems like a better choice than a cr500 motor if all it needs is the mounts made.

Kickstart looks to be a problem

you sir are correct. kicker area would need some material removed to allow the lever to rotate properly (cutting a half moon shape should do the trick). remote starter would eliminate all need for a kick lever but would hamper the bikes versatility.

Just do it, you know you want to. :wink:

Have you measured the rear engine mount to see if it will fit between the swingarm?

The output shaft for the chain drive is on the other side, will all that clear OK? Can you just turn a hub around and drive it in the opposite direction? I cant see why not? I think it would be awesome, I love the old Kater big bores, I have 2 :lol:

a couple of obsticles, like how that carb is going to suck air thru the shock reservoir and ya, the swingarm deal, nevermind snaking a stock pipe thru the chasis

custom pipe and make a custom airbox and rotate the shock so the resevior is on the other side

so, build a frame :roll:

hey I didnt say that it would be an easy build, to me the kickstarter looks like a deal breaker, if you cut up the frame to accomodate it than it will create a weak point

It's the other way around sir. You have to put the CR500 motor into the KTM frame!

Looks nice enough.

Is it your bike?

100hp honda,
You need to do this for several reasons:

1. I read in a AJ interview that his crew is planing on doing KTM's next.
2. Its challenging, but far from impossiable.
3. You would be the first.

Just do it already... :P

If you have the talent and resources to do it, you should.
