F2 into K5
« on: July 10, 2006, 01:15:40 AM »
Is it possible to turn a F2 into a K5? I have access to a F2 (minus body panels and mag wheels) and have always wanted a K5, and thought this might be a good option for this incomplete bike. If yes/no, what are the pitfalls?
Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.

Well the frame's are different mate, and really, there are a lot of differences in the engines too, of course if you found a K5 rolling chassis the F2 engine would slot straight in, but you don't have all that much to work with, why not just find a K5? Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thanks Terry in Australia for the quick reply. Thought it was to good to be true. If you know of a cheap K2-K5 basket case in Melb/ Syd that I can have a go at feel free to drop me a line.
Thanks mate.

Born in Melbourne, now living in Sydney. Looking for a cheap basket case bike to play with while I'm unemployed, to keep my mind sane! Thanks for your help.
