the front end and swing arm are from a 1998 YZF 600. It was a really easy swap, they pretty much bolted right in.

tell me about it. I found this bike for 1500 bucks, I was going to use it for a doner bike for engine and electrics. It starts first kick and runs perfect, been riding it all over town freezing my ass off. Now I'm not sure if I have the heart to rip it apart:
