A fan has installed an XS650 engine in a Yamaha YZF R1 chassis, which leads
to the question, "Why ask why?"

Hmmm... that really doesn't look that difficult to do... the only thing that
would likely confuse me is moving the correct hall-effect sensor magnet in
the correct direction. I've never really done any serious engine mods like
that but boy, it would sure make this bike a lot more rideable for me if it
had less vibration. It looks like the only machining that needs be done for
the whole procedure is the notch cut out of the crank cheek.

Has anyone replaced the rubber handlebar vibration dampers (p/n 13119-001)
with something stiffer to get the mush out of the steering? You'd have to
for any kind of handling gains... if I can tame the vibes maybe I'll think
street tracker.
