Continue or sell it for parts?

[BondiCycles]

I bought a 1999 Sprint ST with a blown engine and a 2004 engine from a wrecked bike. I planned to put the new engine into the old bike and make a streetfighter. Everything was going fine until I got to the electrical. I have to match the new engine to the ECM, rectifier, etc.

How crazy am I? Has anyone ever tried this? Is it possible? If not does anyone want to buy some parts?

Your help would be appreciated.

You should get the complete wiring harness from the '04 bike also plus the ancillary parts like the rectifier; you'll also need headers (with O2 sensor) from later bike. Cooling system is different - will need to modify that also (thermostat & temp sensor in the motor on later bike)
Do you have MC1000 or MC2000 ECM? If former, you will at least need the tune from later model.
Yes it can be done - there's a lot to it.

that the fairing panels are different, with an additional cut out needed for the later motor

Hi and welcome scruff to TriumphRat.net and our Sprint forum.

I am sure you will find this a useful and enjoyable forum as do many others.

On house keeping issues I am asking all new members to;

1) Please read the sticky tiltled "Forum Posting Etiquette" on the front page of the Sprint forum, it will only take a moment.

2) Please read this websites "Acceptable Use POlicy" or AUP found in the bottom of the black bar of the website main front page.

Thanks in advance.

Enjoy the forum....................

You don't own a push bike shop by any chance?

Good luck with the project. Keep us posted if you decide to go ahead.

That really seems a lousy way to go about it. It'd be much easier converting the '04 engine to the '99 bike than the other way around. The only issue that way is getting the charging system hooked up right. Even that doesn't seem too difficult with a little head scratching.

Just source a rectifier, the wire diagrams, some beer, and have at it.
