does it look safe, made the frame myself?

LOL call me nuts but I just bought a wrecked 750 Yamaha street bike from a friend for 100 bucks (still runs but the front end is totaled) I keep eyeballing the 4 cylinder in that, then sizing up my mountain bike, so where do I sign up for the "Insanity Club"?Stuffing far too big an engine into something never meant for the horsepower is the basic core of being a motorhead.
I'm surprised at you people.
This kid is going to go places or die trying so I say we help him go someplace rather than discouraging him. He's not gonna learn if he gives up now even if you COULD talk him out of stuff like this. He reminds me of myself.
You should realize anyone who could build something this gnarly has some skills. I seriously doubt this is his first overpowered deathtrap and he just needs some design help.
I say add some more tubing under the engine and some good brakes (VERY good brakes...) Maybe some large gussets at the tubing joints. You can never be to strong using a beast like the 212.
I say it's cool as heck! Just needs some reinforcement and fine tuning.
Good god man!, you've created a MONSTER!
