Hi,
I am René and I live in the south off the neterlands near the belgian border.
I have KTM Supermoto with an engine from a FJ1200 3CV.
If there is any interest in the build process I can make a project topic with the pics I have.
It has been fitted with Mikuni RS38 smoothbore carbs and a Sebring 4-1 exhaust.
Here's a picture of the bike.
It wasn't ready yet on this picture, this was on the day of the first testride.

And you can see the first testride on this video:
Greetings from holland, and I hope I don't upset the FJ purists :flag_of_truce:
Welcome Rene, we would love to see your pictures on the build. We have a saying here, Old FJ's don't die because we modify! I can only imagine that big FJ lump of an engine makes things interesting on a super moto...
Cheers, again welcome!

Holy hell! Awesome! Looks like it could have been factory - well done! :drinks:

Thanks, it dure is interesting to ride. I need to build a bit of exhaust so I can fit a muffler on the original KTM spot.
After that it will be jetted on the dyno.

It was a lot off custom work, I will post a new thread of the build soon.

G'day and Welcome René
Nice project, will be waiting for the build thread
This looks really fun, looking forward to seeing the build.
Welcome to the forum :hi:
Your Super Moto build looks insane.... Awesome job.
