Captain Chaos Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 i had more or less the same question a few years ago Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 it was a great project build that one, original idea and when finished it turned out grear. I even remember the Ed Gein comments. Quote Link to comment
yantosh Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 similar concept but not copying, will make build thread once it gets started 4 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 By the time I finish my curent project, I will look like whoever is standing by that bike. Nice bike though: and definitley original. 2 Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The front sprocket always ends up in the wrong place on this conversions. A 1098 OR 1198 motor makes far more sense. 1 Quote Link to comment
yantosh Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 what conversion ? Quote Link to comment

vizman Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 yan’s ‘what conversion’ is his modus operandi...he don’ need no stinkin’ conversion 2 Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) 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? Edited August 21, 2019 by baldrick Quote Link to comment
yantosh Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 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 3 Quote Link to comment
banoffee Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hurry up, we’re due a V-twin bike of the Month just make sure it says Suzuki on the tank 2 Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
