Yesterday, this build wasn't even worth posting about. Now it is because it will involve a good bit of welding.

Since I no longer have my WR. It has been replaced by 2 KTM's.

One of them is a 07 SMR 450.

I think the shifter star is out on this one. It won't shift into gear at all. Unless I manually do it from the shift drum with the clutch cover off. So I ordered the stuff to fix that.

Then I bought a new frame that fits 08+ xcf bodywork.

Here she is as it sits:


The frame/bodywork I bought from it:


This week, on top of working on my trailer, I am going to attempt to swap everything onto the new frame.

Also, me being me, later this year, the bike will get Alpina's, Beringer, Ohlins, and custom duals.

Yesterday I had some time away from my camper to knock out the swap.

Stripping down the old bike..

Where I'm at when it got dark. I'll be done tomorrow. The graphics are coming off. New ones on.
