vf1000r engine swap

is there another motor i can put in a vf1000r frame its the 85 model its just to hard to find the same motor is there something else that would bolt up and match without a lot of modding and would a 750vfr work in the 85 1000 frame without changing anything

 

you can find vf1krs all over junked out with good motors i have about 6 parts motors in the garage for my 2 vf1krs.. i wont let them go though i usually find bikes around the country and buy them cheap. last one i bought i got for 200 bux bike was all there except tank seat and fairings.. got it out of california just north of redding. had been setting for years.

as far as putting another motor in yes you can shoehorn nething you want into a frame granted you have all the systems for that motor to run. usually takes some fab of mounts and whatnot. maybe have to move it around a lil to get the positioning right to keep it from interfeering with everything you have to have on the bike to at least keep it looking like a vf1kr. in the past i have shoehorned ole yamaha 1ks into 600s kawasaki engines into harley frames aka the harlasaki. its not an easy task and takes tym to do bt as far as the 1kr motor being compatible with ne thing . idk maybe a 1kf would fit the bill. you can get a 700 donor bike that lil 700 will def fit in that beast of a frame just make sure you have all the mounts propper.. etc etc

 

oh yeah and also if you decide to not worry about it lmk if you would be willing to sell it i may make you an offer..

 

thanx for the help im going tear it down and see exactly what broke then try to figure it out but as finding parts its kinda of hard to come across im in indiana and i have only found one cash is tight as it is everywhere but im going to do what i can to get this beast back if i decide to do a full rebuild is there a place i can either have gaskets made or is there stock oem that can be purchased i tried honda but they want nothing to do with the bike ill think about what u asked i really just would like to get my girl running again ive had her for years had alot done to her from custom paint to the norm mods shes a real eye catcher ill think about what u have asked but i do really thnk u for the help

 

yes you can still get gasket kits for these beasts there are a lot of parts out there for them its just the comonly abused parts that there are few of like transmissions etc. fairings ahhaha i get through indiana on ocasion. so if you do want to lmk sometimes im off here a few days and back and forth. so just shoot me a pm and i will get to it eventually.
