Looks like you'll need to stretch it out for a drag bike or a hillshooter. That short ass wheelbase would be death on a hill, and would stand up too easy off the line in a drag race...and I agree with 370. The centermount silencer looks trick, if you could bend it up a bit so it's more straight out that would look killer, or custom fabricate a stinger tube....

that must be a yz490... the install is very clean

does yours vibrate alot??? cause I think ours is maybe gonna have a problem cause it does when you rev it. and the exhaust may also be a problem later on, but this is only gonna be a drag bike if it runs like we hope it does

The 490's vibrate like hell even in the bike frame, its Much worse in a Fangled 4 wheel Frame........Nothin you can do bout it Cept get used to it.

Thanks for the feedback. I may angle the exhaust up a little later on, but I want to ride it first and it's not in the way as it is right now.

Does it vibrate? A little, but I haven't really had the chance to open it up yet.

I'm still working on small stuff, like the rear brake. Sourced a brake line from my CR500 and rewelded the bracket so it fits on the left side.

Will I extend the swingarm? I guess it depends on my appplication. Longer isn't always better. I have seen 250R's with -1 swingarms.

I'll try to post more pics soon.

Thats a crazy project. I have 4 250x/300ex frames and would love to do something like that. I never dreamed that you could just flip the rear axle setup to make that a right hand drive. Thats crazy. Keep us posted with some more pics.

Are you going to fab another tube to replace the one you cut out for the exhaust?
