here is my Suzonda.....RM125X fitted with an overbored XL185 engine.

no motocrosser but a damn fine traibike that served me well for years.

note the long range fuel tank for big trips, counterbalanced by the army surplus catridge box/come toolbox on the front

Here's a couple that were done back in the day. One my Dad SP370/RM400 conversion done in 79
and one of his mates Maico/XL350 conversions. Also the remains of a 2 stroke Husky that someone tried to fit a 510 four stroke engine in? Will get it together one day.
Great thread and keep them coming.

Here's one that reminds me of Yamaico Pete's legendary Yamaico back on page 2 .An SC500 Yamaha powered early Maico.
