These Builds make the gears in my head turn. What years of bikes have you used? I have been doing some part number searching on line today and seems like a guy could easily build one of these out of a yz250 as well. Looks like they both seem to use the same swingarms. WR seems enticing to me being street legal titled. I know your a busy dude but details please? I'd love a winter project and some incite on which parts to start looking for would be cool.

wow...they just look so friggin clean.. such a great job converting these. i wish i had your talent!
we are moving forward!!!
Kasey I would like to know who is making your trees?
I know about the VTX triples just wondering about the custom units he has on the new machines?
ok close ups of front brakes time,,,
Hi Kasey
I'm putting together the parts for one of these machines. I've got a doner yfz, an extended yfz swing arm, extended axle, hubs, wheels, custom atc250r ten inch rim, and a set of raked vtx triples.
I was looking at doing a steel frame one because I thought it would be the easier conversion, but I noticed you've use an intermediary bracket between the rear sub frame and the main frame on that alloy frame yzf.. Is that a custom bracket or is it a cut of a yfz frame?
Also I've managed to pick up a set of raked 3deg vtx triples, this will reduce the trail of the completed machine. This should lighten the steering a bit. Admittedly, I won't know the resultant trail until the whole thing is bolted together. In your experiences do you think a raked triple clamp will cause some handling problems. Regarding Your conversions thus far, using standard VTX triples, how's the steering? Heavy like a standard tri z, our light like an 87 tecate 3?

I'm really eager to hear how the steering feels on one of these machines as well
