t500/550

Post by aslsmm »

Hey guys, I have a titled 550 and a non titled t500. I'm building the t500 and I was wondering, the gt550 frame, will a gt750 motor fit in it? Is it the same frame? With a t500 motor fit in it?

I'm building a tr750 and if the motor will drop right in then I have a titled frame for it.

I'm also building a t500 and don't have a title for the frame so if the 500 will drop right in to the 550 frame then again I don't need to find a titled frame. Just curious.

I don't really want to do a full tear down just to see if everything lines up.

I doubt any of those frames and engines are inter-changeable without some modifications.

Ok. Thanks. Just thought I'd ask before I dogs all the work to find out.

just use the 550 title. as long as the reg, inspection and insurance are good the cops arent going to care, if you get pulled over and your paperworks in order the law is not going to check your reg vin number against the frames.
