the mounts you made on it in the pics.. are they strong enough what are they from?.. looks like if you did too rough a riding they would bend and throw in out of wack

The front mounts are the original 450 mounts just bent and cut a little, I am pretty sure they are strong enough... the rear mount I am not so sure about but it was meant to just be a beta version so I could test and make sure everything lines up going to make a stronger version this week and then hopefully soon tear it all down and have everything powder caoted and polished up nice and pretty!

Look great. I am planning on this swap into my YFZ450 spare roller chassis. I did a conversion before and put a Shee motor in a Tecate4 frame. My question is are you going to mount the lower engine mounts/struts. Factory they are rubber, just curious. My last project I ignored them and was fine but this one I want to be perfect.

if Yamaha offered that, I'd buy one!

I am busy making a mount for the lower mounts/struts I need it to be pretty strong cause its going to be used for MX too, I had a slight leak on the clutch cover the gasket wasnt sealing properly so I went a bought replacement allen key bolts for all the case bolts and waiting for the new gasket to arrive with one or 2 other goodies, should have some update pics tomorrow. I will take some close up shots of the mounts and stuff

Thanks so awesome dude.

That things definitely going to rip on the track. Especially with all the things you COULD do with the motor.
