I guess you could fit the engine and run it with stock 748 TBs, airbox, ECU etc. Not having done it I don't know if there are any litle details that might present a problem although the obvious one would be getting the fuelling to work properly. You'd almost certainly be into the realms of custom mapped chips and/or Power Commander.

To be honest, it's not really that big a deal to mod the lower part of the R airbox to get it to fit other frames. At least that way you'd know everything would work right off.

Basically involves cutting a slot in the bottom of the bottom half of the airbox to fit over the "X" section of the frame and then fabricating an aluminium tunnel to cover it which you then rivet and bond on to reseal the airbox.

You could of course cut out the stock "X" section and weld in a 748R replica section. Bit more work involved though!

Cheers, Neil
