work in progress.
a benelli 500 engine in a modified rc162 replica frame.
using 1 1/4" tubing instead of the 1 1/8" we use for the 250's

the engine mounts are the same as they are on the old honda 500 4 but the benelli has inclined barrels .
this will be raced as it will pass this 10 paces away looks original rule they have.

LOL
well spotted young hornet.
that is the makings of our xs650 frame kits based on the drixton frames used to mount the old 450 black bomber engines.
still a bit of work to do yet. the engine will be mounted a bit lower and further back.
these frames will be up for sale with the seeley style swingarms, ready to drop an xs 650 straight in.

the last pic shows the first modified one still in the jig
