XS650 engine in my TX frame

[Pardee]

My TX has been down all season, due to starting / timing-related issues.

Not having any luck with teh TX, so I'm trying to think outside the box and get creative, so I'm not stuck looking at my TX next year.

I've got a '79 XS650 with no title. It's been a pain so far to get a title in the state of Ohio.

I'm pondering the thought of fabbing up some mounts and putting the XS engine in my TX frame.

The XS engine offers more aftermarket parts, and has little issues.

I know the TX frame is wider.

What are your thoughts?

I could take the easy route and get a titled frame for the XS, but I love my TX750 brat.

I put a bit more thought into this yesterday.

Looks like the XS650 is going to get a title or a frame before I'll do a swap.

The TX will have to sit for a while, until I have the patience to work on it.

Yeah I'd keep the tx together. Too bad the xs frame I have has no title. Have you thought about a non resident Vermont title,then transferring it to Ohio?
