    The biggest problem I see is that you are trying to put a chain drive motor in a shaft drive bike Not very economically feasable.
    Doze.

        Don't think that way, that's too restricting mechanically allmost everything is possible but you will need a different swingarm and another rear wheel.

          My intentions are strictly to bolt up the engine in the cradle. I have no use for the shaft drive swing arm. As a foot note I have a complete gsxr, but I don't want to use the aluminum frame. If the gs frame isn't close what other posibilities do I have.

            Go ahead then. It just isn't cost- or time-effective, in my opinion. You certainly may use your time and resources in any way you wish. I just think it's a waste of time and resources.

                Since most of us dinosaur-loving GS owners know little or nothing about the crotch rocket GSXR bikes, you'll be lucky to get an informed opinion in this forum. Hope you do.

                  No.

                  That doesn't mean it can't be aligned.

                  But use a chain drive frame for ____'s sake!
