Thanks for the "thumbs up" guys, I really appreciate it.
What issues did you run into during the conversion?
Not too many. This build was a collaboration that brought together some
talented folks. Minor problems like shock spring to engine case clearance,
front fender to exhaust pipe, and relocating the shift lever pinch bolt are
examples that needed to be solved
This was my first attempt at a conversion like this so I decided it would
be wiser to "farm out" the frame modification, especially for a bike with
this kind of speed potential that I intend to race.
I guess the most satisfying aspect of this whole project was the cheap
and plentiful supply of brand new CRF250R parts. The frame, subframe,
swingarm, brakes, plastic, etc., all came from brand new 08 bikes being
parted out right out of the crate by dealers that couldn't sell them.
