Picked up an 09 YZ250 late last summer and starting my build on it. This bike was previously owned by Broc Hepler.
I did the 15 plastic conversion on it already. Going with the theme of Emig's US Open bike.
Starting off with this:
Got it down to this last week. Acid washed, and scotchbrited the frame:
Had the skid plate tabs welded to the frame to make it easier to pop on and off for cleaning. Also had all of the welds checked on the frame:
Picked up a used set of gold on gold talon hubs laced to excels with bull dog spokes:
These pegs came on the bike, they are stupid light and appear to be custom machined. Over a .5" wider than the IMS I had for the build, factory Yamaha?
Some light speed carbon items:
Motostuff 280mm ran to a crf master cylinder and braided line.
Had Primal MX make me up a custom set of graphics, here's a little teaser:
Having the engine built by DH1 mods, same company that helped stankdog out on the 125 this summer. Having the fork tubes swapped back to stock to match the original a little better. Just need to pick up a set of clamps for it and I'll be good to go.
Stick around, hoping to have it wrapped up mid to late January.

Also you'll need to newer fork guards, but will only work on 09 and up forks.
I ended up buying mine off a forum member that was local to me.
The Shop
Only question... Platinum pipe or factory?
Anyone running a different offset of clamps on these newer YZ's. Thinking of going with Applied's 24mm (stock is 25), Can get for just under 300. Ride engineering is a little too pricey for me at almost double the cost.
Still have my eye out for a DEP.
I dig my fmf factory fatty
Once it get it stuck together you need to head west so we can ride ram jam
