Could you fit an 1125r motor into an 05 lightning???

I really like the motor, and was wondering if I could somehow make things work into my 05 lightning... Just a thought, Thanks

I've always been kinda curious. I don't see why not but I have a feeling there would be some form of a modification needed done to the frame... maybe.... Idk I've never compared the two frames. But you would need to find a way to mount the radiator pods. Oh and a 1125 swing arm and rear wheel... hmmm

No unless there is alot of work done.

You would also have to swap around the rear tire and use a modified 1125 swingarm because the belt is on the other side.

Pretty big feat.

It would be a lot easier to do into a tube frame. Something me and my brother have kicked around for years.
