Are you sure that your Chinese frame can take the stresses of a 15KW 250cc engine? Knowing every corner would have been cut in the manufacture of a frame made for a 125cc bike, I know it should technically physically fit. I'd be looking for stress fractures every 1000kms.
Actually it might be an idea to have a bespoke frame built up from proper cro-mo steel and start out the right way.

It is logical and rational choice. However, at least from the point of view of those of us who read this thread, it would be very interesting to see step-by-step progress of your project, something like Odyssey with a guy from our local moto forum and his '81.

BTW, is the black paint on the tank and side panels from regular paint cans? I ask this because, as far as I know, this color is not resistant to gasoline. It might be a good idea to spray another layer of petrol resistant clearcoat.Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

Quite a lot has happened to the crap bike, I got a set of donor wheels from Pikey tom, had a special triple clamp engineered, put on bigger new front forks with disc brake etc.. and the awesome new seat has arrived!

And what? You're not going to take the opportunity to reinforce your bike's frame and swingarm? I would say that the standard frame is rigid as much as week old pretzel, so it will probably be the weakest link on the entire motorcycle.
When you invest so much effort and passion into this bike, why not to you make it "as God commanded"?Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

Here's a picture of the bike as it stands, it's 90% complete, some small things like mounting the headlight properly (K-wire doesn't look good), sorting out the rear brake and finding the correct accelerator cable are in order, oh yes and some sort of very small cute LED brake-light needs to be sorted too.
