Corrected http photo should work now.
Are you going to elaborate? I am pretty sure AJ did not build that? The AF logo gets a lot of abuse on fleabay from an entity in Ohio, frame kracker. But this is the DRN, and that is 1 pretty yellow bike! Vintage Bob

Bike was built by a company in Pa. Bike is a 2009 RMZ250 chassis, with a 2006 rm250 engine. Major modifications had to be done to chassis, more than we know anyone else performs. It was almost impossible to place the engine into chassis, it is tight! After all fabricating and welding were performed, frame was annealed and heat treated.
Initial testing has been good, handling traits of the RMZ are still there. Bike truly feels like your on the 4stroke. Bike vibrates slightly more than the steel frame at idle, but is not noticable at riding rpm. The bike seems to hook up better than the 2stroke chassis does, and I thought the rm actually hooked up great. The springy rear and twitchy front end feel of the rm is gone.
This bike has been done right! Now we need to finalize suspension settings, graphics should be in this week, and we would like to compare some different components on the bike.
Don't know for sure but we are talking about taking bike to Budds Creek this weekend. A couple of our customers are willing to race it, with no seat time, so we will see.

That is the meanest looking yellow bike, I have ever seen. It looks ready to rip now! Vintage Bob
