Too weird, v twin into a frame designed for inline 4?
You be the pioneer and tell us if it fits.

Haha, copy that. My buddy inquiring, prefers the steel frame of the RF. Worth a shot.. Post my GS 1239 when Rays thru with my motor.

[west]

Correction.. Gs 1229*

There are a few TL1000 engines being used in speedway sidecars here in NZ. I'm told the hard bit is that the TL motor mounts are difficult to incorporate in an open loop style steel frame - like the RF.

Okay, from a purely advanced "anything is possible with enough time, effort, and money" perspective: yes, you can do it.

From a typical person perspective....no. The frames have NOTHING in common.

Nobody here would know

Tsk tsk...

I can't remember where i just saw a pic of a Ducati with a TL motor stuffed in it on a forum thread, might be on OSS. Was a pic of a secound one with an SV motor in the same thread...

Oddly enough, the TL lump does fit into the 916/996/998 chassis without a tremendous amount of drama...not really bolt-in but workable. There's half a dozen running around that I know of, and likely many more beside.

Woh, don't the Duc mafia kill people who do that?
Just for laughs can anybody show me a HD chassis with a Suzuki engine?

[makenzie71]

3/4 of the duckies are hard core performance guys and only see the potential of the superior engine in the superior chassis. The rest....well...**** the haters, as it were.

Also....



It was originally meant for an S&S lump....though the whole story has been skewed a few times.
