Post by: mar67655 on December 16, 2008, 04:43:15 AM

just wondering if anybody has tried using a suzuki rolling chassis and put a k5 motor in it .I can purchase a 2006 rmz 450 complete except motor for really cheap just wondering if it would be possible

here it is, i hope it works im not real good at this computer stuff. The quad isnt pretty cause its still a work in progress. I was told i would break the frame, but no breaks yet. Plan is to strip it down this winter and gusset it and paint the frame. I want to work up a new pipe also. (http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo124/dnmac1999/100_0792.jpg)

It should work out well.  I have seen pics of the RMZ chassis used for a number of motor transplants. Cam.

Thanks. like i said its a work in progress. Cant ride bikes anymore due to to many injuries, so this is the next best thing. I hope to get it looking better slowly as finances dictate.

If you look in my Gallery theres some protos I found on the net a while ago of an RM Suzuki with a KX 500 engine in it.

I don't know anything about it though and can't even remember where I found the pics :oops:
