How easy was putting the 380 in the newer chassis?

How is the 380 motor on the track? This was one conversion bike I'm considering doing. I want a bigger 2 stroke than a 250, but the 500 motor is too much on the track.
Weld Motormounts, new headstay and drill the swingarmhole to 17mm ;-)

Ha ha! Wrong bike! This one!

Thanks Travis. I had this bike for 3 wks and my wife thinks that I have an unhealthy obsession with it :-) I had Dean Burke install the Huck Valves in the forks 2 wks ago. The forks are just amazing now. I was super skeptical about them and could a truly awesome fork really be made to work better. The answer is absolutely yes. The fork are crazy plush now and the bottoming resistance is just unbelievable. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to improve their WP forks or make your Ohlins forks the best forks out there that anyone can buy.

Thanks :-) I love the way the 15 came out. I was shooting for kind of a factory bike look and I wanted this bike to be a little less busy looking than my last few bikes. We own a small pet supply business here in our town and my wife besides being super hot is definitely a very smart business woman. I barely do anything and get paid very well for it. I have her to thank for everything :-)

Nice! I had a 03 CR 250 (unfortunately not for long). I still think that generation aluminum frame is the best looking aluminum frame to date. Admittedly form should follow function but this is a thread mostly about aesthetics after all.

And look at those triple clamps! Who makes them?

The RMZ front end was also a nice touch.

$2400! She literally looks like she just rolled off the assembly line in 2006 with some added parts.

Agreed.

Of the numerous 2003 CR250s I've had, this is one I regret selling. I haven't been able to find that graphics kit since then. It made the bike look like it could float away.
