No. This is just a spare motor. Last time I did a conversion it didn't go well. Scared to do and ride another one. If I did offroad only I probably would but not since I would ride it on moto 95% of the time. I was lucky enough to walk away from it once don't know if I would be that lucky if it happen again.

Looks like those lower welds had poor weld quality and then took the upper frame tubes with it. That's a damn shame.

Considering you can barely see those welds idk how you would be able to tell that from the pic.. But I can assure you that the weld wasn't poor quality. Do some research, you'll stumble across more of these frame just like this. Cr's as well. Was even told by a very reliably source at kawasaki that the Af 250's they built did the same thing.
