most 250cc+ bikes would be easy enough to convert,
 The yamaha looks easy enough cos/
STEEL, easy enough to tig weld the Y section
CHAIN rear sprocket is on the same side
AIR BOX should be pretty near
EXHAUST , use cr500to make up your pipe /yz exit same side 

Even the easiest conversion still takes alot of time and effort :-D
