i got all kinds of parts to a 200x and i was at repair and parts shop and they have all kinds of engines i seen a 83-84(my guess because it had fender coolers and looked like the 200x engine)
and the guy wants some of my parts for that so im most likely going to pick it up tommorrow.
i have most my 200x chassis and i keep thinking of welding mounts on the frame on droppin it in but then i dont want to do that.
i want to get a tecate chassis.
my biggest worry is the fabrication cause i have never dealt with that the only time i have ever messed with a frame is when i put a scooter motor on a bycicle and i didnt even cut or weld.
i want to get the motor in a bike really bad so i can play around on it but i dont want to mix honda and kawasaki together.
i already have lots of other things going on but i cant get my mind off what im going to do with that kx500 engine.
i know the cr500 engine vibrates real bad but i have never messed with any kawasaki 500 engine so this will be quite an expierience for me.
i have welded before and done many other things.
man i got too many projects and they just keep coming.
