Title: Yamaha DT360 with XS650 motor?
Post by: Tex on August 14, 2017, 01:40:46 pm

I swear this morning on a trailer in middle of Ballarat I saw what looked to be a DT360 with a twin cylinder 4T motor like an XS650 or similar.

Anyone know of such a beast, or if it's even possible?

Of course it's possible, Tex. You have a welder and a grinder don't you?

. . . or not done depending on the outcome
I'd like a fork brace preferably on beefier forks. But then I'm a coward.
I certainly agree it looks fantastic,and on dirt roads  would be quite nice to cruise around on.
