hey danny, i was able to get my pc silencer to fit easily by heating and straightening out the bend in the stinger section a little. with a bit of a tweak it bolted up perfectly to the rear mount. the front mount needed repositioning though, definatley easier and cleaner than cutting up the silencer .

looks sweet dude. where did you find the tube?

great work! did you heat treat this frame? thanks mik329 i didnt heat treat it, would be nice to,but i dont know anyone in the heat treating game, let alone trust enough not to send me back a warped piece of shit :( but, it was fitted up right and welded right so i would be suprised if something cr...

thanks bob :wink: im doing another gen3 conversion at the moment, although not with a 500cc 2 smoke engine. :D Yeah Davo,its sweet as and you know it ! Why dont you tell the board about your next project :shock: It may be as contraversial as that fella thinking about the ally framed Maico 2 smoker....

is that a common place for the frame to fail on a gen3?
cant say ive seen that before.

thanks bob

im doing another gen3 conversion at the moment, although not with a 500cc 2 smoke engine.

[quote="robertg"] I thought it would be more powerful, maybe when I actually take it off road that will change. I rode my friend's stock CRF450, and the 500 feels tame compared to it. Ha ha,i thought the same thing when i first rode mine.... then i took it to a mx track :shock: anyways, sw...

the x subframe is different for sure. the left hand rail has a different profile to suit the x air box. id put money on the r subframe bolting up to your x frame, but you would have to use the r model airbox, plastics and possibly seat.

sweet job man!!!

guys can someone help chase up 4 lenghts at 3 feet long of 6061 t6 we have most of the bike done but no one brings the tube into australia the bike is a brand new crf450x 09 model so there is a bit of money riding on this. Shaggy i feel your pain, this material is way too hard to get hold of in aus...

......revalving for the bike? Fill me in a little. I have the 450 suspension set up for me, it's perfect. WHy would the conversion to a 500 require more revalving? Thanks! because the 500af is a lighter bike... im running the compression clickers on mine all the way out and its still too stiff with...

the triple clamps , forks and shock will all fit on you gen3, although you would probably need to revalve them for the 5 hundie.
im running stock 450 suspension on my gen3 and its quite harsh .

Thanks man, i spent the weekend punting it around a natural terrain mx track, bit of a hand full compared to my crf 450, need to learn some throttle control thats for sure

well it took awhile but i finally got around to finishing off my bike the other day. heres a few pics of her all finished off https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/ee7ff5ccfbe4cf6140b8733c0d9e7ec0.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/af97b8e09e295f846a2675becb062dbd.jpg https://bannedcr...

yeah just never tried to melt plastics into each other so a bit unsure of how to do it and how well it works.That way never failed for you Danny ? Got any pics ? just buy a new tank ya tight ass :lol: or build a sweet aluminium one. i would think any type of plastic repair would be a temporary fix??

See, that is another question. Does Honda Heat Treat the frames? I have been wondering that my self. i bought a brandnew 2007 cr125 frame form ebay awhile ago, and all the welds on the inside of the frame spars and generally anywhere you cannot see on the completed bike still had all the black sooty...

thanks for the feed back guys, im pretty happy with how it turned out. you really have to look hard to see its been modifyed at all.
it was actually less work than the first frame i did with a fabricated y section. ill post up some pics of it all bolted up. cheers.

yep the stock 250 mounts were used

Thanks man,

does that material look familiar mike?

Thanks for the comments guys . yes the stock radiators clash with the y in that position, but im using a set from my first build that have had the lower tanks modifyed for clearance.

plenty of pipe clearance. just gotta weld the lower rad mounts on and the pipe mount to the right hand cradle tube and shes done.

the stock y , now a little higher

a shitty photo of the result..
