Absolutely beautiful build. I never thought black frames looked good until now.

And people always told me how small the racing world is. I am starting to see evidence of that after only riding for 2 years. My girlfriend rode with Cade Clason 5-6 years ago in the northeast Ohio area. We now watch every race and cheer for him to qualify for a main. He is getting closer every race. We almost saw him qualify in person in Detroit. Would have been pretty cool.
The black frames only look good on certain builds man. Cade is for sure a stud! I have lots of friends in Ohio and they're all really, really fast! I think he'll do excellent outdoors, stoked for my buddy Zach getting the chance to wrench for him!

Super Sick man. I hope my YZ turns out nice. I have the restyled plastic in the package still , until I am able to afford a graphic kit for them. Now I am in the same boat as you and I am starting to think the front fender is all I needed ha. Anyways hell of a build maybe Ill see you somewhere this year. Are you at Casey in those pics?
Thank you man! I honestly didn't like the restyle kit. Was just a big fan of the front end. Maybe the rear fender would look good too. Who knows ill see on my next one I'm building a second one as we speak haha. Yeah that was at Lincoln Trail, if you see me come chat man always up for meeting new people!

I like how the powder coating looks thin and even, almost like anodizing. not all thick and chunky like it usually is.

The bike looks great

I read everyones comments just so I wasn't repeating the fork sticker thing. Sounds like maybe you did it, that'd be a major fail from a professional suspension tuner to not catch... Wink
Haha thank you man, it was me... Put them on while they were off the bike... Boy what an adventure lol

Beautiful bike. And going by those pics, it looks like you ride it very well too.
Haha thank you man. I do really enjoy riding the 2 stroke! Once I got used to it I have vastly improved overall racing wise. It's the way to go for me!

I am a Michelin Man, have 2 YZ250's. Great build. Is that track Casey, Lincoln Trail?
Can't beat the Michelin tires! Or the YZ's haha. Thanks a lot, and yes those were at LTM on the old track. Rode Crossroads in Mason, IL and then LTM's new track this past weekend it was chilly but fun!

WOW!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing man!!!
I thought it looked really nice at the start!.....But what you have reworked there is one of the finest specimen of YZ that I have ever seen!!!

Best of luck at those nationals and let that 2 smoker sing!!!Cool
My thought as well. Good looking scooter before the build. Good job on the new look.

I just received a Ms3 front tire, and I cant wait to put it on and see how she does. The only thing I don't like so far is that it seems a little skinny. The biggest size they had was a 80/100-21. Is that the size you use?

A VHM cilinder head would look great on your bike.

Haha thank you man. I didn't like the white front end on it at first. I really like the all blue now. Never again will I run a different colored front fender than OEM

Yes I use the same tire man. The do seem skinny from around the bead to the knobs but on top where all your knobs sit is about average lol. The height of the knobs is what makes the tires so good. And the rear tire..... Whew lol

Damn, that thing looks good! What's up with not letting us know about the soda blaster though? Seems like that would be something that would help a lot of people on their own builds.

Lol what a joke that someone is upset I won't clue them in to how I build my bikes. If I were like you.... I wouldn't have a bike like this. The Internet is a hell of a tool. Do your research and quit relying on others lol

Thanks man! I like the dark brown too but that shit is crazy expensive lol. The frame has not chipped yet I've rode it 4 times and no chips. It has a clear coat over top too so it should hold up great man

Hahaha the biggest mistake I ever made was trading my 12' yz450 and 09 yz250 for a 13' rmz450 with 2k worth of parts $$ from a dealer. What an ass cramming I took on that one HA

Lol I agree it would be cool to help everyone build their bikes, don't get me wrong is I knew everyone personally I'd give them all the knowledge I've learned over the years. But the Internet is a few useful tool. Google search does wonders haha

Hahahaha hey man it's not the first time I've been called a dick. Just interesting that I'm an asshole for posting something I built, and not telling everyone how hahaha. And trust me I'll be at LTM for the pro-am, #808 will be on my hit list lmao!
