I've seen a TL1000 engine in a curvy, it was in streetfighters years ago, but I don't think it was an easy job.

It cost me £300 to upgrade to an SV1000. You'd be mad to convert for that money.

Lots of work.

You need to mod and weld frame, fitting carbs to SV1000 is hard in itself, you could use firestorm carbs but I bet you would lose power as they're not big enough, you would need megajolt or something to do the spark for you.

Guy who did it before used SV1000 TBs and ECU etc. Still muchos work and I don't think it was ever really "finished".

You can tune the 650 to the point of being a grenade anyway
