Quick winter 2005 RM-z500 build
ddashb:
Well I'm new to this whole forum thing so this will be crappy but I have a complete 2005 RMz250 that I'm swapping a newer generation k5 motor into. In a few days I'll have some pics up on where I am at and any input would be greatly appreciated!
Foxx4Beaver:
welcome to the site ddashb!
looking forward to seeing some pics.
ddashb:
Well I figured how to post pics! Shouldn't be too long before it gets blown up by more!
ddashb:
This is where I'm at now. With a few links to other builds I should have cut the bottom rails a little further back but I think when we get ready to finish cut and weld we'll be about to figure out what we need to do for some good support.
cmotodad:
If I remember correctly, I split my bottom rails a part and slide the K5 rails into them. I cut and sliced in the top and put the cradle up into it by a couple inches or so. Since it is sq on the 250f, i cut a wedge out and tapered in back together. If yours is short, you can put sleeves to get the right length.
