Not a kawasaki but I've just started building this...2012 rmz250 with an LT500R engine and swingarm/axle ect....Machined 6.5mm off each outside of the swingarm pushed the bearings in and machined the spacers down and she fits like a beauty .... Will chop the under cradle and front down tube in the next few days..I've sized it up and I might even remove the frame spares and run crf450x ones as they are a bit longer...the LT engine is quite long...I will also be removing the head stock and making/fitting a billet one....this fella will be full road registered :)

 I love it!!...these big bore trike builds are insane.
A buddy had a new 87 Quadzilla back in the day....I myself never got into the 3-4 wheelers too much...but a 500cc trike would be a lot of fun!

sandblaster:
This should be a cool build and street legal?
I'll be watching  8-)

All I can say is that this thing will be all motor!!!!!Chopped up the frame a bit more today worked out that I'm going to have to run a very high Y piece (like the first alloy frame cr's).Theres a couple of ideas that I have and that's to run the under cradle very wide to clear the exhaust valve chamber inspection window/ governor rod on the RH side and of course that means I will have excessive room on the left...or completely chop it off,weld up the hole into the clutch cover and control the valve by a servo motor....I'm going to have a bit more of a think on it.....here's a pic of the engine before I rotated it forward to its final position

Enginerd:
Let me just say.....THIS ROCKS!  :mrgreen:

I'll be eagerly awaiting more progress pics!  :wink:
