Biconformal gravity is a 2n-dimensional conformal gauge theory with a curvature linear action that has been shown to reproduce scale invariant general relativity on the cotangent bundle of n-dimensional space time. We explore Yang-Mills sources for biconformal gravity. The questions we seek to clarify are whether the augmented field equations reduce the Yang-Mills sector to n-dimensional Yang-Mills theory and yield the appropriate energy-momentum tensor as the gravitational source.
