I love the smell of a two stroke but what the hell. I highly doubt that thing would be any fun, 500's are dog's for sleds. It definitely is different.

he says that he bought the entire bike used without a motor. and that he used brackets onto the original motor mounts so that when he finally HAS a sportster motor, it will bolt in, the frame or mounts were not damaged in the addition of this engine.

i would say that is a very good way to ride a rolling frame

these where BLISTERING FAST, only mods i did was tuned exchange chambers, and ripsaw tracks (on the first SRV i studded it) STUPID FAST, and light as hell!
