why did you go with an sxv swingarm? shorter? stiffer? Wondering if I could do the same to my 99 cr250r. what was involved in the swap? details please!! nice project too!

Awesome build looks like you do an amazing job!

Question and this is not bashing in anyway! Why are you using such a new 450 frame? I want to build a 500af but will probable use a 98-99 because you don't have to chop the frame. Again this is just a question I am not meaning to poke. And again that is going to be a sweet ride!!!
