i used the original Y-piece and frame rails from a GSXR1100, they measure 30x30mm and slip over the cut original 25x25 mm rails.

 I would love to hear more about this. So, you are saying that you used the Y section and frame rails from a GSXR, right? What year of GSXR1100 did you pull this from? Got any close up or build pics pics of how it slipped in place?

BTW, it looks sweet!

uncle-k:
thanks for the positive feedback!

i m from the home of VW: wolfsburg west germany. and even that is different to east germany.

i had a `94 gsxr1100w frame from a streetbike motor conversion. it was just an idea and good luck.
the welds really look factory, the man who done it does nothing but welding aluminium.
the pipe is very close because of the thicker rails but they clear a few mm. the pipe was also a great find and good luck. from damagedgoodsglobal usa btw

@dave916
not yet. but had to adjust the compression ratio carefully. after leaning the jetting my brother said. "its the first engine he rode with too strong bottom end"...

@SS109
i used the original KX250f Y-section and frame rails from a GSXR1100w `94
the rails are long enough on both sides, so you can cut just the part you need from the gsxr frame.
they are 25x25mm on the inside, perfect.
you can also use the original threads on the inside for the front motor mount. i build 2 adapter plates from strong material. i ll post pictures from that.
unfortunately, there are no pics from the buid, i didnt thought i would post it someday...

Thank you. I would love to see those adapters when you get the chance!

Hi Uncle-k, great bike.

Do you ride at Wolfsburg-Velstove? And do know if there are any tracks north of the Nedersaksen, near Amt Neuhaus

I'm from Holland just under Amsterdam.
A customer from works has his farm at kaar?en Amt Neuhaus. Would like to ride once in that area.

I was working in a town called Munchenburg, about 1hour east of Berlin, pretty close to Poland. Not a nice place really, especially at 30deg C on a huge pig farm and biogas plant :lol:
