[tjguthrie16]

I'm 6'0" and i want to do a dirtbike resto...wuts gonna b better 4 my size?

 

[Dan151]

im 6'0" and i just got a yz250 and i sit comfortably and i have good control of the bike, the only advantage of the yz125 is its a little lighter but not by much. i would go for yz250. tons more power and would be a fun restore! just my two cents.

 

[tjguthrie16]

thanks bro...im gonna start completely from scratch and the first thing im gonna get is a frame off of ebay haha...any color scheme ideas?

 

[Dan151]

blue frame, OEM blue plastics, and black rims... kinda like mineI:I i think black rims look good on just about every bike.

 

[tjguthrie16]

urs does look pretty fly but i think im gonna get a different graphics kit for it...

 

[Dan151]

yeah that would be cool!

 

[tjguthrie16]

does anybody know the best way to get your frame powder coated?

 

[tjguthrie16]

here's a link to the graphics i like...
Yamaha YZ450F Boner Graphics

its the graphics tht go on a 450 but they the 250 graphics and they look exactly the same

 

[Dan151]

man those look badass. i guess take it to any paint shop. most shops do powder coating

 

[tjguthrie16]

ok do u know how much prices range for?

when you say you hope your 250 you buld looks like this and you show that bike, you know thats a 250 four stroke right? not a two smoker.

 

[chris61988kb]

125's are alot lighter, and a little easier for not so tall people like me.

 

[chris61988kb]

and if your going to do a custom build you should put a 490 motor in the 250 frame!

 

[tjguthrie16]

would i need to alter anything or would the motor mounts b the same? and that pic is just wut im going to have my colors be like

 

[tjguthrie16]

u no i might b going with the 125 and me being a student, cash is hard to come by and the 125 stuff is alot cheaper
