been a few months so here's an update
i picked up the 350x engine for myself for x-mas, so now that things have settled down some we got something accomplished.
we need to make one more mount for the front of the engine and add a couple supports for where we cut the frame but it's in
we used square tubing as it was simpler to work with, but who cares....function not form
as with anything like this one thing affects another, the stock fuel tank is going to hit the cylinder head so i will be either "reshape" the bottom of the stock tank or will retro fit a different one....
i don't have the carb yet but that too will interfere with the tank.....
and the position of the shift lever may be too far forward, so that'll need addressed also........
plus side is we have the engine positioned where the exhaust will fit without modification.....
after the mounts are done i'm going to paint the frame....going with flat black
big thanks to christian (a quiet boom), we trade labor all the time, he worked on the mounts and i installed a remote start on his family-mobile
this thing is going to be stupid fun....we're going from a 200cc 2 stroke to a 350cc 4 stroke, so from 20hp to 40hp
some pics....a little blurry....
