Have you all seen the raptor that had the 525 put in it? The guy posted up a lot of pictures a while back.

bro u have to do the conversion. no one makes a frame that is especially made for ktm engines, unless u wanna spend the big bucks and have lsr make u a custom frame for around 3gs. ur best bet would be a 250r frame, and have someone make the motor mounts for u, and have tc make u a custom pipe. thats what my buddy jsut did and his quad rips.

Was it difficult to get the alignment of the countershaft sprocket with the swingarm pivot point right?

You can look at this side (http://www.eatv.de/engl/index01.html). This german company build up quads with KTM an Ducati engines an use an modified KTM frame. You can get this quad with an 250 SX, 510 EX, 625, 950 LC8 and the Ducati Monster 1000ie engine. And all these Quads are street legal :) (in germany...)
