    My Yamaha WR 426 conversion

    Just thought I'd share a couple pics of my WR 426 conversion, using VTX triple clamps and a YFZ 450 swing arm.

    Gotta be a pain to start with that little kicker. Those 426's were always hard to start. Good looking build.

    Fits the old 43mm WP forks perfectly, but the 48’s would need the bottoms opened up to 60mm.

    That offset would clear my rads too, in fact I was thinking that even 40mm would work. Any idea how far apart the forks are and what front rim they use? I recall Kasey saying it’s tight, but doable with that setup
