Well I DO like a challenge Dave I see no reason that any of the above cannot be done. Just how much money were you going to spend?

Well I DO like a challenge Dave Hi Dave thats some challenge !!! (but not impossible) First off you will have to remove the middle gearbox dependant on which XV you have the may be just a case of removing it & then finding/making a sproket to fit & making sure the gearbox has an oil seal. But if the XV motor has the middle gearbox built into the cases (most cases) you will have to hack the crankcases about in order to find a drive point ... but money no object it could be done !
