You know. It's as common a configuration as taking an SV650, installing Harley Davidson Fat Boy Dyna Bob forks, the swingarm off of a Busa, shocks off of a mid-80s GS750, and clubman bars. Standard stuff.

Do a belt drive conversion. That frankenbike could be slightly franken-er.

I can't help but think "maybe there's a $17,000 bike I could buy that doesn't have wheel-fall-off syndrome".

You could buy like 16 KLRs, by the odds one of them might not shed an essential part within the first 3500 miles.

Racing bikes need single sided swingarms for quick rear tire changes, so the answer is "because racecar".
