i have one....
it's still attached to a RGV chassis
engine is in a box

I have one too.  Unfortunately my whole RGV is in boxes.  I still can't decide what to do with it.

aww well I had to try  not that I can really afford an rgv front end at the moment anyways

man that is one lucky rgv. DR650 motor, thats a 4 stroke right... actually stupid question, I already know the anser to that.
but the best part about stuffing a DR650 motor into an RGV250 is that you can still claim it as a 250 for insurance, meanwhile your riding around a 650.
fraud? maybe...but who really cares...?

Here's how I mount a gsxr frontend on my bike.

First press out the steering stem from the gsxr and GS triple clamps.
The GS stem is pressed into the gsxr triple clamp.
This will require some bushing to be made so the stem is a tight fit.
On the 03/04 1000 triple all I did was weld strips oround the GS stem that fits into the triple. Then I milled it back down to a point where it fit tight.
Without any extra material on the stem I could tap it in with a hammer. But it needs to be a pressed fit. On older frontends the hole for the stem is larger so a bushing needs to be machined to fit.
The only other piece I make is a spacer/washer for the top triple clamp.
It fits into the top hole in the triple clamp. The top is larger like a washer.
The tip of the stem fits into the spacer and the bolt goes through the center.
Then you just bolt the frontend on, using the GS stem and bearings.

Mine is a 94' SP also with the dry clutch, specially imported from Japan to Chile and now the US.  That's really the main reason that I haven't parted it out or sold it.  Even though I could use the money, I've never seen another SP in the US and if I got rid of it I'd probably regret it for a long time.   I still miss my CBR 250RR more than any of the other 10 or 12 bike I've had.

Adam, you back in the states? I thought you went to Argentina? Nice to see you around again.
