Anything can be done with enough cash and determination

And yes the frame will hold under the power of a triple, no problem.

Reality Check: Just to get this straight. You want to take a red-hot modern motor. From a bike which already has well sorted handling, & stick it in a slower, heavier, antiquated frame?
Why? I thought the idea of moddng was to improve performance.
The only Bonnie frame I'd even think of sticking a 675 into, is one of those chrome-moly race frames from Bonniville Performance. & even then, I'd prefer to commission them to build a special frame for the triple.

even better get a thunderbird sport and just shove flatslides, open exhausts, K & N filters and gasflow the head, you will get great power and the extra torque of a bigger engine if you wanted a triple with ****hot squirt!

Ain't no way Hege is ever finding out where I keep my bike.

Reality check from a mod-obsessed scram guy? Ironic, no?
