    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

550 engine

Last night I was drinking a few beers and drunk Andy decided to pull the engine out of the bike. Dorkbox has some issues due to the previous owner being a moron. But I'm not one to back down from a fight. As I'm getting ready to spend some money on new parts I got thinking that maybe I want to just get a bigger engine. I don't want to put money into a 550 if a larger engine is a straight swap. A lot of the parts on the bike have "550\750" on them. Does that mean a 750 would bolt right in? would all the parts be usable? Or do I just stick with the 550 and use the bike as my bar hopper? This is my play bike. My other bike is a champ. Dorkbox is just for fun.
 
A common upgrade is to put a 650 top end on the 550. Gives you more displacement and a 6 speed trany. A win-win scenario.
 
To answer your question, no, a 750 engine will not bolt in. The 550 frame is too small
