450rider's un-450 projects

Chad is his name, He's been in southern Manitoba for a few months working with the pipeline. He's got some interesting projects happening that he wanted me to post.
1st is his gen1 250 that needed modifications to have better handling. The rear engine bushings were removed and I made 5mm eccentric ones to drop the engine in the chassis. I also welded the other mounts closed and relocated the bolt holes to drop the engine evenly.





He was also instructed to make the swingarm 1" longer in adjustment.



Next we tackled his gen1 500 conversion and installed his track kit he purchased direct from 2moto.

He has alot of stuff on the go and gets very little time to be on the site.
The bike with the track kit has a 40mm carb and 250 ignition.
He's in the pursuit of horsepower for the tracked machine and has some cylinders in the works for aluminum sleeve and plating.
