Motorcycle engine swaps have always fascinated me.
Some day I'll be looking into what I could do with my ZZR-250.
So it's good to see other peoples work to inspire me.

How hard would you say it was to get the engine mounted in the SV frame?
Really wish I knew how to weld... would save me so much $$$
It wasn't really that hard at all because I cheated by using the lower portion of a CR500 frame as the engine cradle! All I had to do then was weld mounting points onto it to the factory bolt locations on the SV frame. With all the measuring, cutting, and welding I actually had that together in a few hours.

The exhaust on the other hand was a project that took a week. There was lots of cutting,and grinding, and trying different things until I got it the way it would fit.
