Looks like you are jumping in head first! Glad to see another build getting started. Been rather quiet around here it seems in light of recent revalations.
I'm getting ready to post some on my 03 crf450. I would suggest you slow down and study before doing a lot of cutting. You might think of another way to do something and not be able to if you've cut some place you shouldn't have. Also, some might disagree but, I wouldn't be doing any grinding in areas that are going to be welded. Use a saw or rotary file and stainless wire brush. The abrasive grit can get embedded in the aluminum.
This has been the most helpful thread for me.

eyesky did a great job of putting his build out there and turned out pretty dang sweet if you ask me.

I used a cutting wheel for everything and then cleaned it up with a nicholson aluminum file (doesn't clog). Best 15 dollars I have ever spent.,

Good luck with that. That frame has the odd ball rectangle. I bought some oversize bar from onlinemetals and milled it to size. Left was the original size. Two on the right are the size of tube.

nmdesertrider, where did you get the file at? I'm going to be hand fitting my motor mounts and that could come in handy

If you dont file it, the debris from the cutting wheel embeds in the aluminum, and it welds like shit.

Buy the file. Good tip Dez.......
