1988 YZ490 —
Ex professional motocrosser, Arizona firefighter, and cancer survivor Justin McMurrich has worked with us on a few builds over the years. As his therapy in his recovery from continued fight with cancer. He builds these bikes to be ridden and raced not just looked at in someone’s man cave!
He came to us with an old YZ 490 that he found in a firefighters garage. He decided to tear it down to the frame and build it from the ground up. Replacing just about everything on it. With @dirtbiketv1 (Jay Clark’s) help, the bike came out absolutely perfect!
