Practical Sportsbikes

Post by Silver » Thu Oct 31, 2013 10:26 am

Practical sportsbikes current issue have a 4 page article on the TRX 850. Its pretty general, but one of the bits on common Mods says its common to fit the 6 Speed gear cluster from YZF750?
Is it common, i dont think i have heard of this before.
2010 Street triple R 675 Road bike
2018 BMW G310GS
1988 Honda XBR500(converting to GB500 spec)
SZR660 road and track project

Not common Dave but not unheard of.

Search may bring up some previously mentioned info?

Uses some YZF parts but other machined bits; doesn't sound easy from what I have read even if you are good with motor internals.

Think it was one of the guys from Europe who have done or looked at doing this.
Maybe Tarwetijger, Trixz, or Killerwhale, or maybe someone I've forgotten just now.

I might be wrong, just can't remember where I found the thread on it quite a while back.
It must be true, I read it on the internet.
