This is some old footage i had on my cam, got bored so i thought id throw it together. Shows me getting on the YZ unassisted though i did have someone pass me the helmet and gear after i got on.
Got some footage of me driving the backhoe too and jumping the table top before and after it took on another few tons of dirt.
Joined up with the local MX club the other week so cant wait to get out on a real track again
Anyways enjoy

Hey mate,
For now there are some pics here of my first attempt...

That didnt work very well and bent up after a few crashes, the seat works a treat though. We made up some stronger bar work thats holding up really well. (the seat has an extra cushion not shown that attaches by velcro to stop the bolts from giving me pressure sores)
I will take some more pics and close ups of the new bar work for you over the weekend and post them up, with the battery setup and all. Feel free to add me on MSN marcel(at)10fx.com if you want to have a chat.
I used the kliktronic shifter from here
http://www.kliktronic.co.uk/
With a 2 stroke MX bike not having an electrical system i bought a lighting stator for the YZ and then fed that lighting output through a regulator to charge a small battery in the air box which runs the shifter.
Oh BTW when considering a 2 stroke MX bike with kick start only defiantly go for a 125, my mate can pick me up of the ground with bike and kick start me all by him self when i stack.... something that would be quite difficult with the extra weight and compression of a 250. Electric start is ideal if you have the funds to do a enduro/ MX hybrid conversion, i didnt have the money and didnt want the mushy handling of an enduro bike.
Good luck! Theres nothing like riding 2 wheels again, once you get used to it you wont want to ride that quad anymore and the 2 wheeler is so much smoother. Being T7-8 you should have no problems riding at all.
