I just got done making that same engine swap.  It's a piece of cake.  The only brackets you'll need to fabricate are the front motor mounts.  I made head stay mounts and took them off,  more vibration than I could stand.  I just got my FTZ Super Fat drag pipe on and recommend going that direction if you can spare $310.  I plan on extending the swingarm 12" and going hunting for stroked Banshees.  If you have any "tricks" you've come up with, let me know!  The vibration is bad, but I think I can stand it for 100 yards at a time!

man that is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have two t3's but both are rough. do you have any of the stock t3 stuff you would get rid of? i have seen a kx500 pipe fitted with a little work. on my honda 500r i managed to use the cr500r pipe with minor mods!!!!!!!
