2020 Husqvarna FC 250 270cc Big-Bore Garage Build Project Bike

A big-bore is good for a vet guy who wants the lightweight feel of a 250F, but maybe not the power of a 450. Also, for some less honest people out there, this could be a less expensive option, rather than building a full-on race engine. Jay Clark does a ton of these builds, but he wanted a bike he could use to beat up on his buddies on any given weekend.

[@vikingd3727]

Love this build can't wait tell he gets his hands on a 22 crf250r give it the 270 treatment see how they stack up against each other.

[@justinhawkins1159]

That bike would be awesome to ride at Mt View MX!!!!🙌

[@hudsonb216]

Sick

[@grecoconduris6716]

Very cool.
Would you get this over a 350?

[@crosskoj]

I wonder if it would be possible to do a stroker-kit, more torque if you are doing trails/enduro racing.

[@Glubberer2]

The frame should be black!

[@treyatchleyatchley2194]
