Title: Dominator transplant?
Post by: Moto63 on May 22, 2014, 08:21:00 AM

Good morning all,
Hope someone. Out there can help me out? My hopes for getting hold of a complete XBR engine are pretty slim I would think (still living in hope tho) however I can get hold of a dominator engine. My question is is it possible to drop the dominator engine into the XBR frame ?  Thanks in advance. Michael.   Moto 63

Yes you can swap it with a Domi lump.  It's practically a straight swap, even the exhaust fits, the only real mechanical jobs you need to do is to swap the Domi clutch basket/ primary gear  for the XBR ones otherwise the gearing is all out for the XBR.
