has anyone ever looked at doing a conversion such as this?
the belgarda has reasonably decent suspension, brakes and styling and it should make for a tidy motard type set up.

why do it? well my xtr project is lagging on a little and my overseas situation has changed somewhat and I will have to remain in aussie a little longer. the xtr is a stat write off so fitting the donk to a currently registered bike may be a way i could blat around town on it here.

so what would be involved?
for one thing is I would have to look at fitting a radiator and some plumbimng.
the other hurdle I may have would be the engine/swingarm axle mounting. (widths, diameters, width of xtr donk rear mount etc). and the wiring wouldnt be a hassle for me.
If using the ttr tank i guess you would have to have some sort of external FI fuel pump as well...
I dont know if engineering certs would be required. I dont think so, however the cc's have risen 60cc so I dont know...

so any comments would be appreciated! cheers!
