This project has entered HMT status. The first cut was the hardest because after that there is no turning back. KZ550 engine on yz125 frame.....

wheres the turbo

Its under "fabrication" for a reason.....J/K......Maybe next year but, for now i just want a bike since it seems like all by buddies are riding now.

wow going to be like one of those hill climb monsters where they put 1100 ninja motors on 250 frames

might not be a turbo, but it'll still be sweet when its done...

I like the fact its a Yamaha hate the fact it has a Kawasaki engine.

I bet its fast though :D

Slightly biased R6 owner here sir.

I got it mounted in the bike but, i need to remove it to do some final welding on the areas i couldn't get to. I also ground down my thumb in the bench grinder accident. So now i have blood, sweat, and i'm sure tears will follow some time during the build. Probably when i get my credit card bill for this past month will all the part purchases i made. I'll get some pics of the bike later today.

^this is where i finished....i had to remove the engine for final welding

I still have a couple more braces i want to make before i put the engine back in for the last time. Its sucks getting it in and out but, now i need to make new gas tank mounts since the stock one wouldn't allow me to remove the engine....Its getting there

are you planning on making this thing street legal?

yup..
