just as a random brain fart as im sourcing parts for the SR125 ive been working on

does any one know of some one who has tried to do the SR180 conversion

i can source a top end from the states but mostly wondering if it would fit

at the moment my best guess is possibly

could be fun for a future cafe racer project or similar

yes i like insane projects !

You and me both bud, fancy buying a few of mine? plenty to choose from.

As for the upgrade, dont forget that with a bigger top end you've got a lot more whirling gear going on inside that engine, the SR top ends werent exactly known for being strong either, other than that i can only suggest crank balancing, and strengthen/upgrade anything upwards from that, also be prepaired for it to fail at some point as im not aware of anybody here doing that mod, but if/when you do run into problems make a project thread!

i was thinking along the lines of using the 180 cylender and head

at the moment its more of a half arsed i wonder if this would fit lol

i dont really see why it wouldnt as i dont belive that engine had many revisions over the years

as for more projects i really must get the RGV back in once piece lol
