I had a yfz frame, and still haven't sold my 2007 yzf motor yet so I decided to start a little project. I chopped out the motor mount tubes, and vertical supports tonight. The plan is to narrow the whole deal and have it running down center since the yz motor has no oil tank. Should clean it up alot. Haven't decided if I'm going to change the front geometry yet but we'll see. Going to do a scratch built swingarm forsure.

Nice sounds like it will be a cool project to watch. Whats up with those rock crawlers? Or maybe buggy's? In the background.

Stay tuned won't happen really fast but I'll try to do a little every couple days. Bored with the R stuff. I like how the yfz body works is really narrow should be fun.

Sorry I forgot about your question. The truck to the left is a class 8, the utv in the front that has half the front chopped off is a custom chassis with a yamaha apex 1000 motor, and xp900 running gear (trans axle, front diff, power steering) the utv won its class last month in the baja 500 by 3 hrs. ( it was the first time it had ever been driven.)
