supermoto project "Blasphemy"
This is what i started working on today.
Ive pulled the engine from my 86 srx-6 and ill be putting it in my 1990 Cr 125.
A tight fit to say the least.
Ill so from dual carbs to a single Delerto race carb.
What do you think?

As a fellow street legal tard rider (CRF450R) i would be very concerned about that engine hitting the ground.
I regularly compress my CRF suspension in turns far enough to drag my foot pegs and my bike lighter and has more clerance than the one you are building.
A popular conversion that i am considering is to convert an XR650 or build a CR500AF Street legal wild 2-stroke machine.

In reality the bottom should only hang down about an inch and a half lower than stock. the engine will be alot higher than the placement in the second picture.
Im probably going to stiffen the suspension up a little due to the heavier motor and i want it stiffer.
Thanks for the hint on the F2 wheels.

My Uncles have something akin to that only specialized in aluminum and composite airplane parts, and they are so busy with work it's crazy.. They started in a garage.
Just find a small market for something you can build that requires skill, won't bore you to tears, but isn't too difficult either, and start making - selling them. (eventually hire someone to continue building them and then you design the next widget)

I like your thinking, naked hawks and big engines in little bikes.
Have done both myself and can't wait to see the results of both your projects.
Since I don't want to highjack your thread I'll post some pics in a separate thread.
Keep it up.
Also as far as "I would if i could find something that people would buy, any suggestions?"
How about bar mount kits/rear sets/pipe mounts/caliper adaptor plates etc. for the Superhawk ?
Also I think you should be able to advertise your skills in the different forums that you hit.
Put some stuff together, pics and descriptions and you might be surprised what pops up.
