the swap

I have seen several posts and looked at other forums concerning engine swaps on a rattler 110.
I haven't seen it, so, I'm gonna ask.....is it possible to install a buddy 125 motor on a rattler body?
It's not like I'm gonna do it (money), but "curiosity killed the cat".
Besides, it looks like my next scooter purchase will be a rattler.

You could put anything you want in there with enough time and money.
You'll need almost a complete donor buddy for the engine, transmission, electrical system, exhaust, carb and airbox. It probably won't bolt right up so you'll have a little fabrication in the engine / swing arm.

,, so i have to ask again after looking things over, the rat will bolt up to the Buddy(50). frame, but what is the difference in the gas tanks, i know the oil tank on the rat is larger, the fuel look like a 1.5 gal as a 50 is like a 1.2gal
,,the 110 is basically the long version of a 50 right, slightly larger. the frame for a 125 and 50 are basically the same.,, am i corrcet? or is the frame on the rat and 50 are the same?

The subframe (engine moumting frame) on the 50cc and the 110 are the same. The subframe for the 125 and the 50 are different.
