heavily modified EFE

Ok, since this is about modified....

The EFE i built for my mate Igor a few years ago. Only things EFE left are the frame, fuel tank, seat, rear light and sidepanels.
Engine is B12, front and rear ends are ZX9R, and a lot of small things i had lying around are from various bikes.

here it is on the first ride out after the build, together with my own EFE (which is also modified)

I like both of those.

Im after some templates for the brackets to hold a oil cooled engine in an EFE.

they are on OSS, in the GSX/EFE/Katana section. But OSS is down again so you'll have to wait.

Oh and the dimensions for the bottom rear mounts are not correct, they should be 10mm longer.

look what i found:
for fitting an oilcooled engine in the EFE frame

as i wrote earlier, the engine support lower case (the 5th pic) should be 10mm longer than what's writen in the pic (46mm should be 56mm)

How did you squeeze the kawasaki swingarm into the EFE frame??? From memory,I think the zx9 arms are wider at the pivot point?? My friend has just fitted one to a z650,but had to widen the frame.

i removed material from the swingarm and frame (where possible) untill it fitted. It's tight, and if i remember correctly (was 4 years ago) i changed some bearings as well.

I like the tail up stance on the bike. I might just copy. :lol:

feel free.

Personally i like the 'low 'n long swingarm look' more on an EFE, but my mate wanted it short 'n jacked up.
