Gday, because everyone here seems to love the build pics, i thought id share some pics of a gen 3 250 frame i have been working on. i was aiming for the factory stock apperance.........
a mate of mine was able to get his hands on some 6061 tube and even bent the main radius for me(thanks juddy) all i had to do was put in the second small bend back near the pegs.

very nice, does the Y beeing that high up bother the rads?

I think doing a complete cradle is the 'right' way to do it.
Looks great!

If stock looking was the goal, you've more than reached it. Looks great! I'm also curious about the rads. Any clearance issues?

Thanks for the comments guys . yes the stock radiators clash with the y in that position, but im using a set from my first build that have had the lower tanks modifyed for clearance.

Don't give up your secrets I didn't, and that still has the sticky stuff from the tape I wrapped together with.
