The 300ex engine is bulky cuz its an air cooled 4 stroke. The 450r engine is more compact looking to me. I posted something about this one time.
And yea I wanna see that 426 in that 300ex frame.

Looks pretty sweet. I like how you used the dirtbike radiators to make it easier to mount on the frame. Looks pretty good, can't say I'd want to ride it though unless you spent some major $$ in the handling department. It also looks like you could use some new radiators, some major fin bendage going on there.
One thing about the radiators though, are the plastics going to be able to fit over them or are you going to custom make a hood? I think it'd look bada** to have a nice air scoop right there for the radiators.

Those are honda 250 radiators,the yamaha ones are too big to fit underneath the fron fenders.Why do people always talk about handling?Im not trying to race nationals,with the 450 swinger set up and the wider a arms it handles just fine,just more motor thats all,just like having a 330kit or whatever in the frame.Its not done yet but who knows im already missing reverse like i have with my 385 motor,it could be back in soon...

It sure looks wider then a stock 300ex. I bet it handles fine.
