Title: IT490K Outfit
Post by: chippy on July 06, 2014, 05:40:35 pm

I went around to a mates place last week to do a small welding job and spotted this weapon.
An all new frame coppied off an ''EML'' outfit but to suit an IT490 motor and plastics and all the
road going rest. The engine has an IT bottom end with a fully worked YZ490 top end.
The overall plan is to have it road worthy and get rego, maybe, maybe not.
The motor was fitted to a normal IT490K bike and my mate had a quick squirt.
Some other blokes were watching and said let us have a go, my mates reaction was
no f--king way, that bike will hurt someone. So the motor came straight out. ITs a weapon.
Brian Stewart, ex Australian mx outfit champion, has had quite a lot of input into this build.

Nice and neat! ;) should be OK to rego in SA, QLD and Vic as an "Outfit" provided you do have required roadworthy equipment. Oh in Vic it is eligible for "Club Plates!" over 30 years old.... ;)
