I was just wondering how hard it would be to put an 1100cc streetbike engine in a 500 frame? I don't know for sure if I want to yet, I have seen a couple around but never thought to ask how they did it.

 

There was an LT500 with a 583 Rotax in it at Silver Lake the last ime I was there. The 583 is 102HP stock. Dual pipes and porting will get you more.

 

I saw one that had a GSX1100 motor in it last spring while I was up at Oregon, I remember how clean the installation was so I asked the owner, he did say it wasn't to hard of an installation, but that he did have to make some minor motor mount changes and strengthen the frame in some places.

Sorry, that's the best info I can give you on it.

One other thing the gentleman did mention; because of the size motor and the power it had, it was only good for two things, sand dunes and drag racing.

 

I have seen that GSXR/500. I don't know if I want to do it, just a thought that went through my head.

 

i have this pic of a 1100 quadzilla and it says it makes 350 horsepower or somethin...

 

I am picking up an '89 LT 500 roller with a trinity motor(basket case)
I am looking at putting a rotax 780 in it any body seen one or better yet got a picture of one ?

 

Hey raptor ron, sorry no info on the 780 conversion but check your email

 

Raptorron, your E-Mail is messed up, but can you email me, I am interested in your 500 motor.

 

Maybe my e-mail is not correct. I have e-mailed my current home e-mail.

Ron

 

I forget the guys name but the owner of Cascade has (had?) a LT1100. I think the bike is called Bruticis? I've seen it in DW a year or os ago. It may be worth a call up there, I think they are in Oregon?
