The tricky part
It was built by JB Racing and others the shock is from motorcycle res.body is angled which clears exhaust.There was also a very nice Aluminum gas tank.

It looked to be competitive.Has to be lighter since the yamaha motor is around 10lbs lighter.Stock swingarm is used just reversed carrier and used spacers to center the motor.I cant remember if it used a open filter or a airbox.It used stock plastic.
Dont go out and buy a Yamaha motor yet.This is a very custom quad there was alot of cutting and fabricating done to make it fit.Way more than a 400ex to 450 conversion.The weld and everything looked as good or better than factory but I dont know if it would hold up to MX or even trail riding.TT machines are all made very light the good ones I bet are around 250lbs but they dont jump them.
I am sure Big Winky and his son will tell us everything.
