RZ500 engine in hybrid frames

[HM31A]

does anyone know what people put their spare rz500 engines into besides buggies and speedway?
and any good picks out there
cheers

A few people have put theirs in TZR 3MA frames, but this requires mods to the inside of the frame - something I was not comfortable doing.

Somene is also putting one in an RS250 frame I believe.



The biggest problem with most frames is the kick starter.
Even the Micoproducts frame that mine is using has the kick starter coming out through the frame.

Love the look of those hydroformed pipes.


Cheers, Markus.

The bellys look a bit thin to be making much power.

But yeah, the R6 frame would be nice and wide for it. Still might have the kick starter location problem though.

My dream is to put a inline-4 TZ engine into a R6 frame.

Lozza suggested a FZR250 as the doner chassis to me about a year ago, it's nice and wide as it houses a inline 4 4t and the 91' model onwards has fairings a lot like a 3ma/3xv. When a cheap FZR shows up I'll be doing this conversion.

Yep, nearly bought an FZR400 for the same reason about a year ago.
