What are you talking about? You don't have to mod/cut anything to mount a 13b into a first gen Rex. 1985 gslse models came stock the the fuel injected 13b. The only thing you would have to change for an s5 motor would be The engine mounts.
@20vTony1 yes. u'll need the front cover off the 12a to get the front mount. but u'll need to either modify it slightly or the mount on the frame since the 13b is like 3/4" longer.
@31compton13 no, nothing to cut off. but the oil metering pump is different between the s5 and the first gen covers. so u'll need to use the first gen pump unless u plan to premix.
You already know this, but rotary engines burn exhaust gases so freaking hot that your CBR 900 mufflers will be completely toast in no time. Sounds good at high revs though.
Haha. Which is totaly what you said if I had read it properly the first time. Oops

it actually doesn't sound bad. I've heard some a lot nastier sounding rx7's running around.
