Hi, new to the site. Been riding a while, dirt and street. Gonna get right into it if you don't mind! I'll be building a 91' ZX7R with a 1997 ZX9R powertrain. It was actually traded in this way, we took the block out and put it into a ZX9 we had, and sold it. So now we have a ZX7 plumbed for a 9R block, sitting there all lonely.The frame is rblt. status as well, so the bike isn't worth much even when complete, so I figured, why not build something crazier. Anyone ever put a late model injected litrebike powerplant in an old frame? Obviously all the associated electronics have to be retrofitted as well, but have any of you done it or something close to it? Guess I'm lookin' for some peer pressure.

Welcome Dallas, do it and take some pics along the way. Is that enough peer pressure?

 

I have not played with that combo you have in mind.
Welcome to the forums.

 

i had a 92 zx7 and rather swapping the motors out i just had muzzy rebuild it. ive only done crazy motor swaps on cars and trucks and fabbed parts for guys and their bike projects. i would like to follow the build on the 91 if you so choose to post it on here.

 

Sounds like a real Frankenstein project. Good luck with it and take lots of pictures... and welcome to the KF family.

I'll provide some peer pressure...you don't have the guts to do it!.....convinced yet?

 

hahaha, I will get some gas for the welder and get all of the tools ready!!!!!!

 

Ok, you guys are helping alot. Looking for a donor block! If I can't find a reasonably priced one or it's just too much work, I'll still build the 7 with the 9block and keep you all in the loop. Cheers and thanks for making me feel welcome, D

 

that woudl be awesome if you could post some pics in the DIY section while your doing it

 

Now there is an outstanding idea!
