Default Streetbike engines in the Raptor

I think I recall a member here with a modded Raptor that is running a 1000cc engine in his quad. Just curious if he has pictures, or actually if anyone else has pictures of their ride with different non-atv engines sitting in their frames.

There was one member with I believe an fz1 engine and 2 with R1 engines. One was working on an R6 build I think too. There were pictures but I havent seen any of these members post in quite a while. I would guess a search will turn up a few leads.

My only leads, lead to the guy running Zukis. So if you're running a Raptor with a street bike engine speak up!

dont get it done unless you know what youre doin, my crazy @$$ cousin that has more money than brains, modified a DS650 frame (hes a big Bombardier fan) and put a Yamaha R1 engine in... He did not make the machine longer or wider in any way... BIG mistake... after his 2nd time riding it to test the top speed, his front left hub snapped off... and little mark went on to break his right leg, right arm, get serious road rash, and damaged his reputation badly...
very dangerous if you dont know what youre doing
once i get a digital camera and a usb connector, ill upload some photos of his bike before he crashed it, and also some pictures of his injuries... woo
