96=jakaxve1-TA015001
95=jakaxve1-SA011001

so the s on my frame is 95?

how hard will it b to stuff the engine in a 250 as the frame as been snapped and welded where the seat meets the tank, is tht a common fault?

its not that bad stuffing the motor in a 250 chassis. i'm working on one right now.
it would be a lot cheaper and easier to get another k5 frame. i have not heard of them breaking there.

doing the 250 chassis has fab work- motor mounts, head stay and pipe, cutting swing arm and spacers, and rad fitting.

also looking for a kxf frame so whichever comes up first
