suzuki 916

[yantosh]

does the ducati with Suzuki motor build thread from the old site still exist ?  doing a little research 

[R1guy]

This?

[yantosh]

yeep, I have a plan, was just hoping for a heads up from its  build thread 

[Swiss Toni]

Be interesting to read that build thread again, if possible? Twas a good 'un!

[Captain Chaos]

i had more or less the same question a few years ago

 

[baldrick]

it was a great project build that one, original idea and when finished it turned out grear. I even remember the Ed Gein comments.

[yantosh]

similar concept but not copying, will make build thread once it gets started

[Dezza]

By the time I finish my curent project, I will look like whoever is standing by that bike. Nice bike though: and definitley original.

The front sprocket always ends up in the wrong place on this conversions.

A 1098 OR 1198 motor makes far more sense.

[yantosh]

what conversion ?

tlr suzuki, monster engine, awful handling, 916 ducati, monster handling, fragile plastecine engine. wouldnt a tl engine in a 916 engine be awesome? answer-yes, and not only did it sound a great idea, but someone even produced a fitting kit to allow the suzuki engine to go into the ducati frame. just imagine a 916 that didnt eat itself if you were 25 minutes too late for a factory service..... ive seen one, and only one, but it was a thing of absolute beauty.

yan’s ‘what conversion’ is his modus operandi...he don’ need no stinkin’ conversion 

[baldrick]

ive wanted to supermoto a tl, 

only thing stopping me is lack of funds, skills etc etc,

but it would be freakin awesome I bet

 

whats the plan, Yan, new frame build?

nah, made 3 frames in a row , time for an easier build,  got a TL motor,  multistrada frame,  hypermotard tank, subframe, seat, forks, gsxr1000 wheels..... see what I can cobble together 

 

just need the secret customer build done and gone first, shed can't accommodate two builds 

[banoffee]

Hurry up, we’re due a V-twin bike of the Month  just make sure it says Suzuki on the tank

The swaps been done a few times, but I think the rear cylinder and 916 suspension linkage prevent the front sprocket front sitting in the correct place relative to the swingarm pivot.

May not be a issue with a Multistruddle  frame

not using stock suspension , first thing will be sprocket position, go from there
