Motorcycle Engine Conversion

farleypug · 10-29-2009, 05:12 PM

I apologize ahead of time if this topic has been covered, but I couldn't seem to find any info on this. I'm converting my G1 over to a Kawasaki Ninja drivetrain and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some info on the best approach. I have everything drawn up and eyeballed, but was wondering how people have done this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I really appreciate the posts everyone. I'm glad to see that there are others who like to create monsters as well. I just hope the motor I chose works out. I originally wanted an older air cooled motor but the price was right for this ninja and it was complete and running with only 5000 miles so I really couldn't pass it up for $100 bucks. Plus the mounts for the motor are all on the lower end so that's less fabricating right there. I will post pics as the progress begins. Thanks again

Never know,you might have a better way.$100 ......

That is almost too goo to be true there.But I got a sweet deal on mine also.I almost hated to tear mine apart.It will be a quick ride for sure.Good luck and keep us posted.Later,Richie

I mounted mine almost the exact way MrMatt did his. Mine is a Club car though. If you can get a 4 stroke transaxle to work in the G1, I just flipped mine side to side so the driven shaft was on the corect side and machined a sprocket for the driven shaft so I still have reverse.
