H Model Engine in a E Model Frame???

Has anyone put an H model Engine in a E Model Frame? I believe the upper engine mount is different but are all the other mounts the same? How about the exhaust, electrical etc....? There are a lot more MODs available to do on the newer engine and the KIPS is more reliable. Yeah I know the newer frames are better, I just have my suspension dialed in just the way I like, USD forks, Gold Valves etc.. and I like my cushy seat.

Those forks will swap right to a H frame. :wink:
The seat is more couch-like like you say but the H seat is pretty darn nice too.

Are you getting a H motor? I don't know if it will fit or not.

I was emailing Jeff Fredette and he told me the bottom ends are the same from 89-06 . So they would fit except for the upper mount on the cylinder head. I don't have a newer motor but I was thinking about doing the 225 big bore

TTT...

I wonder if the H series 200 cylinder would mate up to the E series bottom end? The base cylinder gasket is the same. I figure that the KIPS would be the sticking point...but that could be an economical way to switch to a 225 for the E series bikes...
