    THAT looks like an interesting project  🙂I guess what's needed is:- lots of elbow grease- the rest of the bike - lots of patience- understanding wife / partner  😀You can do it 🙂

    It looks to be extremely strong. How do you think you'll go with the weight? I was interested in the steering head area. That swing arm pivot looks to be way stronger than stock. What sort of tank will you fit?

    Alex, yes I hope it is strong enough. That was the plan I didn't mind sacrificing some weight for the extra strength After all I dont want any parts to fall to bits on me. All the flat surfaces are made from 3mm plate. The bottom pivot area is hollow of course. I am going to make a tank that fits inside the frame above the gearbox I have already made one out of custom wood and taped it together put a plastic bag in it and it will hold 15 Liters in there and I am planing on fitting the YZ tank on top which will hold another 7 Litres I am trying to keep all the weight as low as possible. Basicly that is the main frame finished Just a rear subframe to sit on and hold the mufflers (1100S) up.Just had a measure up on the old YZ frame foot pegs to top of the seat 570mm thats what I am aiming for foot pegs to ground 400mm me sitting on it should be around 850-870mm around about. Being able to touch the ground is over rated.boGSer

    Just looking at the angle the final drive is sitting at, plus the difference in angles between front and rear cross'ess (I think thats a word mate) lower link should be the right length as it is standard to the rest so my thoughts are is the front pivot for the link in the right place?Or I could just be totally on the wrong planet with the thoughts  😮
