you could just get a 99-02 250 bare frame, and transfer all the 125 parts over and then sell the 125 bare frame

Similar in that they are both painted green :-D beyond that they are completely different where the motor sits in the cradle. I bought one years ago thinking they would be close enough, there were to many things that diodn't work for me, I knew it was going to be a huge job so I set aside the 125 frame and went with a 250. I'm now using the 125 frame for my KDX hybrid conversion. was it me I'd use the 250 frame and make life easy on yourself.

i thought it wouldnt even be close as well, but when i placed my motor in the frame the bottom mount as well as the swing arm bolt lined right up. if i cut the the swing arm it would bolt right up.

i was just thinking if it doesnt work out i would just part the bike out. whatever change i get from that i would put towards my 250/500 build.

theres no point you have all the parts you need apart from the main frame the forks, yokes, suspension, sub frame, brakes, tank, plastics will all fit on the 250 frame. theres loads of 250 frames on ebay, get 1 and your ready to go :-D
