Hey JB  what bike was complete hopefully it is the 250F anything that bolt to it use it will make your build easier and see you have the old cradle in your new frame the top of the cradle looks strong enough but did you just butt weld the bottom. If it was me i would find a piece of tube off your 89 frame that will fit around where its butt welded about 2 1/2 in. long or so and split it and center it and form it around the bottom of the cradle and weld it across the the tube not around this will make a nice gusset you also could use a narrower piece on the top of the tube

Well have fun and good luck  JM

LOOKS NICE JUAN!  You need a proper kickstart lever though.

Nice Job, dont know if this helps but here in the USA that motor is a 1993 or newer model as it has the new style power valve & they came with different Kickstart levers than the 89 models & hugged the exhaust pipe alot closer and should fit underneath the frame.

Is that an FMF pipe meant for a KX250?
