The kids are enjoying it. The wife...well she's getting skeptical that selling my YZ covered all this stuff.

I hear ya on that. My wife has been watching me like a hawk since I bought my last one.

Finally got back to working on this. The axle carrier and brake stay were very nice fitting parts. Mounted up the bars, fenders, and grabbed a seat from the stock pile. The black bumper has been replaced with the AC from my 400ex. Someone was smoking something when they built this frame....lol. 250r bumpers don't line up at all. 450 bumpers are close but require some mods. My 400ex is a perfect match except the bottom needs spacers. Here's a couple picks from today....

Looking good!!! Glad they made it there safe, I didnt have a chance to package them, so you can thank Ups for the peanuts, LOL!!!

They worked out for me since my frame from hell doesn't have tabs to mount the lower fender braces. Just another thing on the list to deal with. Hope to get those shrouds mounted up some time today.

He got it from me, its a Polaris Predator bottle. Walsh also sells them, although more expensive due to the Walsh sticker on them..lol

Came with the shroulds that Eric 05450r sold me. Polaris predator bottle. Dime a dozen on ebay (usually). Walsh sells it complete....not sure how that compares to buying the parts OEM...

Man, every time I think I'm getting close to having everything I need to finish a build, I see something else I need!!!
Thanks Higgy

I love those wheels just way out of my price range.

bnau267 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 13, 2014, 10:16:42 PM »

Me too....

. This build was supposed to use parts laying around the garage. I'm down one nice Yz250, a truck cap, and my 400ex is probably next to pay for the engine. This thing better be worth it!

once i got my 250r my 400ex sat around collecting dust and eventually i sold it. a 400ex for a 76x76 250r engine is worth it to me.haha

Fourwerx in the house! New seat and CF flat hood for Maier/OEM fronts. Picked up a near perfect 89 seat pan....now all I need is foam. Guess I'm gonna try Quad tech foam. The hood is my first CF woven part and I can't stop looking at it...
