Your link is kind of broken. I think you forgot brackets in the first part of the BB code. Anyway, welcome to the forum.

Cool. The matching painted heat shield looks good.
I'm more of a VW fan, though.

What sled is the Ski Doo engine out of? Fan cooled, or a liquid? Here's my thoughts on it-
If it is an FC, it is possible to overheat easily, since the engine is designed for winter. If LC, where is the radiator going to go? You'd need a different radiator, since it would be a long radiator that is in the tunnel, and it wouldn't work out too well for swapping into a scooter. If it is an LC, my suggestion would be to buy some used radiators off a dirt bike of similar size (450, 500, 600, etc), and use air scoops with them.
Another issue would be the frame. It'd have to be beefed up to handle the torque, and made larger to accept the large engine.
One more issue would be the clutches. It'd be a pretty big thing hanging off the back when that's done. My suggestion-
Get an old street bike or enduro engine. Anything is bigger than a scooter. For kicks, find at least a 250. It'd need to be liquid cooled, since there isn't much airflow where it would be located.
With a motorcycle engine, it'd be easier to transplant, since the transmission is contained in the engine, and it wouldn't be as tough to make work. For a real thrill, get an old KX 500, CR 500, or RM 500 2 stroke race bike engine.

My '86 Sprees ride very well despite the fact that I run with 30 psi or more, aespesially aft for hard cornering and trail-braking (!) into corners. I find the drum brakes to be amazing for the weight & speed of the bikes as they are, but it would be fun to make a Rod out of one. SOme serious structural work would need to be done, and I am not sure how much more weight the suspension would take, but I weigh 220, and it takes that, driven hard WOT all the time. I have heard of front fork weakness, but have had no problem in 20 years.
M. Mazda, you are lucky to have the model with the kick start as well as the starter-motor. I ran one of mine for a few years of Summers just using the kick-start as I had a charging problem. It feels good kick-starting the little mothers like a Harley!
