I took the OMF shrouds off, they rubbed the brake lines really bad. I put a set of PRM shrouds on it. They have a bigger space to run the brake lines through.

Bad news. Turns out my 03 CRF450R engine does not fit this frame. If anyone one knows what engine fits in this frame I would greatly appreciate the info. Frame and sub frame will be for sale when I figure out what engine fits in it.

Width and length. To narrow on the bottom motor mount and pivot bolt to lower mount to far apart, front mount to narrow also.

That sucks it don't fit. I would  have waited on the powder coat for the frame  just to fit the motor  first in case of modifications.  But it a very nice build  good luck. If you  were to sell the motor  pm me a price.  Thanks  rich

I didn't have the motor at the time I was building the roller. I just went with what the guy I got it from told me. Last time I do that.

With the help from Flp, I think we got the chassis figured out. Turns out it uses a 88-89 swingarm, and doesn't use the pivot bolt through the engine. Uses a 03 CRF450R engine. I checked the serial number on my engine and talked to the guy I bought my engine from. Turns out he changed the cases with some 05 cases. There is hope that I can use this chassis after all. Here are some pics of my chassis back in the day.(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/39_7176_2017-04-18_7279.jpg)(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/39_7177_2017-04-18_4446.jpg)(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/39_7178_2017-04-18_9490.jpg)

Finally got the engine set in the chassis. I got the sprockets to line up. It is not bolted up tight yet. I couldn't find any bolts long enough for the front mounts and need to weld a piece in for the lower motor mount. I also got the 88-89 swingarm on. I need to do a little trimming on the back of the motor. It is rubbing the swingarm. I at least I am getting closer and know my engine will work in this chassis.

I have fired it up 3 times. Still have not rode it yet. I have a week off with no MX races. I will finish getting the sway bar hooked up and the rear shock reservoir mounted. I need to order a Fourwerx seat cover for a 86 seat for it also, I don't like the feel of the 88 foam on my Quadtech seat that is on it now. Feels like I am sitting up too high. A few other small items need to done to it also. Like number plate backgrounds and numbers put on it. I can't decide if I want to put black number plate backgrounds on or blue backgrounds on. Hoping to ride it this weekend if it ever quits raining. I want to race it on June 4th.
