He wants to learn how to build bikes. The only thing I've come across so far is to buy one of those Chinese Lifan motors and fabricate mounts. '82 GL500 Bleedin' Blue & White    Report

There is also a complete '85 that someone is parting out if you need other parts. You could fab up just about any year water cooled engine to work. 82 GL500 81 KDX175 If all else fails, read the instructions    Report

You can trim the case to fit or shim it. Then there is pipe fitment, but it can be done. 82 GL500 81 KDX175 If all else fails, read the instructions    Report
