However, I will say, that the KXF250 conversion that Dylan Cox rides, looked ok when I saw it. But, i hear he didn't do that one? It's a nice bike, overall.
I know that he has offered you a new frame, so all I am saying is you would rather be a hater, than let MPS make this right.

Or you can pay Fanelli 1300 (i think thats his frame conversion rate) to absolutely butcher your bike.
anyone who knows how to tig, would fall out of their chair laughing at Fanelli's welds. Period, end of story, the proof is in the photos, there is no defense.
be proud to own, probably some of the nicest out there. I really like that he uses the OE "Y" and replicates
the OE tubing for the cradle.
I went with Service Honda for my conversion and I'm very pleased with the workmanship and quality of the
welds. My engine slipped right in just as it would if the frame had rolled off the Honda production line. The
bike has been ridden hard over the past year and I have had no frame related issues or problems. Here's a
couple of pictures of a "cleaned up program" SH.
IMO, the shops doing crap work will eventually be weeded out as their reps catch up with them. That's a
good thing for all the rider/racers laying down their hard earned cash.

That work that "Paul" does, well that is how it should be done.
Lastly, if you are ever ready to ditch that Volvo for a new Kenworth look me up at Performance Truck in Buda, TX, USA.
I will gain nothing from what I'm doing here, my money is spent and long gone. The frame job sucks, and that won't change. Really just hoping to spare someone the misery of such a lousy experience, and workmanship that should come from a first year high school welding class. Not a guy who pretends to be in the business of selling conversions "done to above Honda and Kawasaki standards". When did those standards apply, late 1944, when bombs were rocking the factories at Hamamatsu? Would certainly explain the shitty welds, hard to lay a straight bead when you're dodging 500lb H.E. casings.

SO........what you're saying is, you are willing to settle for a substandard, hacked up, cobbled together piece of SHIT, simply because that's what you GOT, than insist on something a lot better in quality or at least something that met some reasonable standard. If that IS your definition of "reasonable" or "quality", then apparently I was accurate in my assessment that some have lower standards than I. Which is fine in some cases. This isn't one of them.
What business is it that your are in sir, I got the impression you are self employed. Is this how YOU conduct your business, basically hand people a shit product or service, than try to deflect blame and avoid dealing with the REAL issue? Mostly, YOUR inability to deliver what you advertise to be the best?
You call me a hater. What in HELL does that make you, a gullible buffoon, easily taken for his money, without the balls to do ANYTHING about it? Wow.
Pit Row
Also, I'm curious why you had him do the work when he started to back-peddle on doing the job in the first place?
Hell, man, for the amount of time you spend bitching about this and doing nothing more than stir up a shit storm, you could've learned to TIG weld and done it yourself. Hell, looks like he was practicing welding on your bike; you could've done the same.
So, back to my two simple questions (the TIG thing was more a jab at his workmanship than anything). Why did you go with him instead of Service Honda, and why didn't you walk away when he gave you the chance? There's no arguing the work was shit work....so don't think I'm trying to defend the job on that frame.
The AF was a serious decision for me, so it was either find a real deal on the cheap (mine was about $6500 with less than 20 hours on it), or do it myself.
Am I reading you right that you bought the Suzuki from him, with the agreement he'd build it into a 500?
Not sure who does the welding for him. At first I couldn't tell whether it was a shitty MIG job, until I kept looking at it and then started laughing visualizing some guy sitting there simply melting a big blob of aluminum with his TIG torch. I'll bet that was one hot motherfucking frame! Did he have the motor itself to fit to the frame when he did the work?
The guy I had mod the frame was doing the best fabrication out there at the time but turned out to be a thief and screwed a lot of people. I was lucky and got my frame after 3 months.
My decision wasn't based on cost, The guy who did mine and AJ were about the same for Frame only work (AJ did offer to convert my frame at that time, don't know if he still does).
I would be pissed and would NEVER accept work like that.
Even if he used a jig like the ones for sale on banned for CHEAP, the damn things would go together, ugly welds or otherwise. George just isn't that smart. He's cowered in the Dumbgeon, and now run away and hidden out of sight, because he knows he's going to get get his ASS kicked up here in this thread. Spineless.
