Rooster67 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I picked up a frame earlier this week, picking up trashed cases and cylinders for mock up next weekend. Ive put LS motors in BMW's so except for the pipes in fairy confident the rest will be ok. I'll post pictures later. Marks and front shocks will more than likely be stock R, rear shock will be a remote reservoir unit to allow more room. I might try to go with a narrower radiator to allot the pipes to clear.

Rooster67 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I picked up a frame for CHEAP! im going to put Six5Designs arms and swinger on my current R and sell/trade my JB front end for a stock front end then I will almost have a roller - will be on the lookout for an axle. I already have Baldwin Honda front conversion hubs and will source some cannondale rear hubs so it is all Honda bolt pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster67 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I had 2 sets of Honda tires and wheels from the KFX $250 for a set of hubs was a lot cheaper and less hassle than trying to trade wheels for Yamaha pattern and Honda is the most common bolt pattern. And the front hubs are dual row outer bearings so they are less likely to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster67 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Both will have Honda bolt pattern all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 What are your plans for the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster67 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 No clue, I have a mock up motor to go in for design, then if I can reasonably make it work I will probably try to find a blown motor to put in it or a stockiah quad to buy cheap and part out.

ZillaFreak Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Take a lot of pictures of this. I think it will be the first yfzr hybrid. Just don't let david around it with his hobart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster67 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 First step will be get a swing arm on it, the radiator bolted up and start gabbing motor mounts to get the motor as far back as possible. I want to see if it would be possible to put a bolt on each side of the swing arm to leave the center open to get the motor to sit back even further, I could have 2 swing arm bolts machines to work. If the kicker will clear this could be an option to give a little more room for the pipes. ITF pipes are a must and it has to be functional, I don't want to be melting pants.
