Wow I am glad I am doing my research. I see I can buy a frame for 1200 US +shipping.

but I am a fabricator so should be able to build one for less

. But I need the info about how it will change the balance and steering of my bike. A DR 650 . with all the good stuff here I should be able to wade into this project with no real issues . If this goes ahead I will take pics,vids and post end results. if anyone has really good leads info I will accept all info in a PM

onto the winter build season . but as I live in Victoria winter is more of an extended fall rain squall season.
