OK time for another update.

Got the frame welded up and started to re-assemble so I can place the engine in its correct position and fit the motor mounts for welding. There is quite a bit more to do mainly little stuff but that all adds up. The radiators need to be modified and new mounting points for the exhaust and electrical need to be welded up. One key thing in this build was to maintain the fit for aftermarket and OEM parts such as pipe, silencer, plastics and so on. That way if you where to crash and need a new pipe or plastics you just buy them from the store and bolt it on without modification

Below is a first look of what the bike is going to look like with the graphics.

Motor angle was changed some into a more neutral position to improve cornering but without affecting CS position.

Bike looks pretty sweet, just one question considering that the end result was basically just a YZ250 with YZF plastics why did you go the route of modifying the YZ frame rather than simply either buying the plastics conversion kit (either ufo or the one built in either sweden or finland, can't remember) or go the YZF YZ engine swap route? Would it not have been cheaper and still handle as well if not better than the home made frame you have made? Not saying your frame is bad but just that I would personally rather leave the frames to the professionals seen as there must be a million and one factors to consider when building one.

Great bike though the bike looks amazing.

It is built of a YZ250F frame. There are several reason for this conversion other then the obvious which is the looks and modernizing of the dated YZ250. We wanted to build something that will allow us to further develop new technologies into the bike (i.e. DFI and so on) and this build gives us what we need on order to do so.  There are also several key technical changes we made to enhanced handling especially cornering that is not obvious to the eye.

Ahh okay, I thought you had modified the YZ frame. So is this just a test bed for future YZ modifications? Have you made any changes to the air intake? Have you thought any different suspension set ups or variable pipe set ups?

Just interested in your plans.
