TOPIC:

ok guys and girls. i am going to start fitting the 1000 engine into the 650 frame in the next couple of weeks. i will post pics as it goes. i have not gotten all of my parts that i need just yet, but i will start to fit the empty engine.

i am going to leave the painting i think to a friend of mine.

trying a pic again here of bike with out engine, just to give you some idea of what i am doing.

this is going to be a time consuming project. so please be patient. i will try and answer every ones questions the best i can about what i have done and am doing.

Big Block 1260 motor with about 150 hp right?

With the kZ650 emblems on the sidecovers

I swear it's a 650!!

One of the many things I'd really like to do

ya know i thought about going that big with my motor, but i figured i would stick fairly close to stock 1000. just a 1075 kit carbs, cams etc. i am going to try and get about 120-130 out of it all. you guys think this is possible? (get that much out of a 1075?)

and yes the 650 side covers are staying on. for sure!!!!

Check the archives, there is a member that is/was running a 1075 putting out 120hp on the street as a daily rider, I think it had a little porting and APE 410 cams.
I can't remember the name right now, but I believe it was one of the guys from Galesburg IL.

I just remembered the name, it was mpowell, but I don't recall seeing him here in awhile.

anything is possible but its gonna be easier the bigger the motor you build im trying to get 140-150 at the backwheel of my 1327 bike once it gets back together i think it would be easier to hit your mark with a mild 1197 motor it would have more low end torque than you would ever need which is what you really need for a streetbike power at any speed in any gear just yank the throttle and hang on as long as your chassis can hold up to it!
