New KX250AF build

[silviocross]

Hi guys, I was looking for infos about aluminum frame conversions, and I just discovered this amazing forum!
I'm a 22yo student from Italy, and I'm modifying a KX250F with a CR250 engine.

The project is almost at an advanced stage, but I'm studying at about 200km from the bike, so I hope to finish it during christmas holidays.
Here you can see a log of the building:

I'd like to post here all the updates on the bike. Every suggestion is highly suggested!

Looks like you are doing a great job. The 2000 CR250 motor is a very good motor too.

Looking good! Whoever is doing the welding is doing a nice job!

Left radiator is almost completed.

It's 60mm shorter and 4mm thicker than the original one.

This weekend I made the headmounts and the bottom brakets:

Finally, I finished the welding phase, and after a complete wash the frame is finished!





Tomorrow there'll be much more news..

Good design on the head stay! Engine can't rock forward or backward because of the triangle design. This takes a lot of the load off of the frame rails.

Thanks a lot!
Lunch-time update:







This morning I finished welding the pipe, I hope to polish it later:
