Can I join the club?
gwcrim:
The head is one of Stewarts billet jobs. I sold it though.

hey gwcrim, im lookin into doing one of these builds when i get back and since i dont own a machine shop i was wondering how much it cost you to get the swingarm, bushing, and motor drilled out??
gwcrim:
No one can be wondering what happened to this build more than ME. 5 years later, I'm back on it. I could write a book about the BS that has happened to the engine. Many of the chassis parts have been scavenged to fix another 250 that my son has worn out. Been through a KLX450 and now on a KTM 300. Regardless...
Bottom end is done. Frame is powder coated. I'm going into full assembly mode before I die of old age. I'll try to take pics and document as much as I can.
Two biggest hurdles left: fuel tank and head stay. There is a plastic shop near my house and I hope to convince them to cut and weld the tank. Head stay ought to be easier.
