I actually didn't find it frustrating at all, thoroughly enjoyed it especially the pump mod .
I haven't played with the jetting as yet but its going on a rolling road once its finished so i can make a desision on which carb to use, YZ426 or CR450

Nice. The last set I did was a rack of four and I spent most of my time looking for little linkage springs that kept flying all over the shop.

Quick update, was going with a Brembo caliper but unfortunately there was no way this was going to fit and miss the spokes so had a chat with someone that recommended VMX calipers. Took a chance on it and pleasantly surprised when it arrived, quality is very good and its so slim and already chamfered at the rear to miss the spokes

Definitely coming together now

That is a nice looking unit. Does it take the same size master cylinder as the Brembo or are you going to have to change it to match?

Been told it is the same but im using a brembo master cylinder anyway and with the ASV lever you can change the ratio.

Perfect. You got it covered.

Well things are moving on, all new bearings and bushes and any bolts that are out of spec have been replaced with genuine new items

Later 450 master cylinder.

Rear subframe and air box test fit.

New wheel bearings, bushes and spacers from Talon .
