250r aftermarket frame

[88mxR]

I keep cracking my frame, so I am looking into getting an aftermarket frame. What is the best frame without spending a ton of money? There is a laeger narrow frame on ebay, but I would imagine I should have +3s in the front and I don't know what is needed for the CR500 link.
Right now I have LSR+2s and standard travel elkas front and back. I would eventually like to get long travel all around, but right now I have to scrape money together just for the frame. Please let me know of any personal experiences with an aftermarket frame and if any are available.

I bought a gusset kit for my 1986 frame and it has held up pretty good go far. Really strenghtens the front end and up at the streering block. Only problem i saw with it was that it didnt have any thing for the motor mounts, but the other gussets seem to hold everything together better, less flexing. Cant think of the company I bought it from at the moment, found it on this forum froman early thread, only about $80.

i've gusseted my frame awhile back and haven't had any problems with it.
i did one last year for a buddy that races and no problems still.
i found the biggest thing that helps is too finish welding all the guest's that the factory put on and only weld 2 sides of.

i'm just finishing up welding one for another racer . i should have it done at sum point tomorrow. i could take sum pix and post so u could see exactly what there is.

I already have a few gussets. I've cracked the front by the shock mount and the bar by the gas tank. Both have broke multiple times and have been gusseted. Last week at Little Sahara I broke my frame by the right foot peg. That is completely broke and the left side is cracked. I am tired of welding and gusseting my frame, so I am looking for an aftermarket one that will hold up a little better.
If anyone has experience with any aftermarket 250r frame, I could use your opinion of it.

the leager narrows are very nice... when and if i ever build an R thats what i want.. and your in luck member 8686 is sellign some +3 long travel housers in a different thread rght now for $400 shipped.. buy those sell ur arms and look for a frame..

I would but I have standard travel shocks and low funds. I know it's a good deal, but I want to take care of the frame first. It's looking like I may need to convert to a CR500 link and that won't be cheap.
I have LSR+2s with elka triple rate piggy backs and a laeger swing arm with an elka dual rate rear shock for trading stock if necessary.

if you weld the frame gusets wrap the weld dont leave a tail, it will make that the weld a weak point..
