Stupid or Genius?

i recently picked up a roller chassis to a 198? suzuki gs1100 and a '74 yamaha mx175 w/ a hole popped in the side of the case. I also have a Khohler 22hp that's set up w/ a heavy duty torque converter. i was thinking about taking the cowl off the kohler and making a giant mini bike by chopping the frame and cutting the suspension. opinions?

In the Suzuki, no; IMO, the frame would be too heavy for the engine; in the Yamaha, it's more likely...

P.S. A giant mini bike is just a bike

I saw on a video a while back, they took one of those 29hp V-Twin engines and slapped a turbo on it, they did a bunch of other internal mods too of course but they claimed it to make more than 100hp when they were done. I believe it was a roadkill episode.

I've seen every ep of roadkill & that doesn't ring a bell...

Skip to 4:19 and it shows it. Was an 800cc Kohler though.

Wasn't a road kill, but was from the same channel. My B

Ah, hot rod unlimited, now I remember...

Hence my idea, but minibikes never fit me well. Also I wanted a V-twin that's budget friendly (IE NOT over $2k.) It was either that or a Bombardier 3cyl diesel which would sound badass but would need SOOOOOOOOO much fab work it'd be cheaper to by a new Indian almost...

I'd go diesel. That'd be so dope.
