Yes, i've thought about that when i begun to gather info about the XT600Z engine that didn't use the frame as an oil tank. Below the battery theres enough room for a custom built one and im thinking on going for the DR650 and grizzly 2 into 1 intake manifold

Hell yeah Highside!

Vander, with a bigger rear wheel that SR would be perfect

Nice shocks, didn't know that brand though, im going to think about it. Could use a fork upgrade aswell... it is good with this engine but with the extra weight of the 600 it is going to be too soft

The same goes to the brakes aswell xD

Bit tight, but with some effort it is almost there:

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to run the XT600Z engine with the SR250 electric system or it would be better to get the cdi, voltage regulator, yada yada yada from the XTZ? I already have the wiring harness of the Tenere but those things are missing...

Cheers

Today:

between the cuts will be the lower back engine mount for the 600Z

almost there!

how the bike is now

it fits on the other side, but major changes will be needed to make it fit on this side too

thats all for now

fleshpiston · 01-26-2011, 12:48 PM

yer crazy......

in a good way, of course!

nanno · 01-27-2011, 11:06 AM

Nice thinking outside of the box!

oc_nightmare · 01-28-2011, 03:33 AM

thanks guys!
main engine mount solved and aligned

already i have the final looks in my head

hell yeahhhh

oc_nightmare · 01-28-2011, 06:08 PM

T'day;
perfect fit!

the 600Z engine is a little bit shorter than the 250 because of the location of the starter motor

my gf showing the new silencer position

transmission offset is reduced to 1cm with the engine 1cm more to the right side, i'll try to balance it with the heavy stuff moved to the left side of the bike

another problem, the front sprocket is welded to the nut

thats all for today

I like your determination!!! Thanks for the link to your hot rod SR600.

If you are interested in cafe race conversion, look at my mates conversion.

Nice job btw.

oc_nightmare · 02-16-2011, 04:42 AM

Thanks, i already had seen that cafe racer :)

After hours and hours looking for rear shocks, i ended up ordering twin XT500 Wilbers with 365mm lenght and 105mm stroke

Any ideas about the front forks?

Taking care of the lower engine mount

The main mount is ready with the bushings back from the shop

Mounted with only one mount and it already stands stil

Double craddle frame?

mmmm, clean steel

some minor modifications to the tubes and it is almost plug&play... gonna be using both front mounts for the tubes, of course :)

oc_nightmare · 02-25-2011, 03:29 PM

Upper engine mount

XT500 replacement rear shocks (damn she's starting to look hot!)

more stuff arrived today... kick starter shaft and 3aj rectifier

brucifer · 02-25-2011, 04:55 PM

Looking good, man!

I really thought it would be too much work to cram that engine in there but you're making it look easy.

Good job!

oc_nightmare · 02-26-2011, 04:40 AM

The hard part will be to make it all work
