well im doin it again this time i got a gen3 crf450 i was planning on cutting out the frame rails and replacing the lot because i personally believe adding some alloy pieces isnt the right way of doing things ! but since the standard "Y" piece on a gen3 is simply horrible i was thinking ab...

well boys and girls i have used the bike quite a bit and i frickin love it, and i started wondering why i didnt do it sooner ??? the handling is amazing and its just awesome to ride ! no problems with it yet and the engine mountsare holding out very well i do regular checks on the "Y" sect...

i got these back from powder coating on saterday http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo111/binks199/the%20project/148.jpg then this happened http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo111/binks199/the%20project/153.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b3f3bda74ebc90453ec13aa71bdb93ea.jpg https://b...

the skid plate stops 30mm befor the sump nut, i might have to start using a funel when i drain out the oil.

im pretty sure the mounts will be fine ! the "Y" section is butt welded but the frame/sump guard i got is going to be welded to the frame and it will also cover the butt joints and strengthen them up. i also changed the headstay its a 1.5" square bar with one end shaped to fit the sho...

can anybody sort out the pics ?

just a bit o an update, i got the engine mounts all welded in and i have done a new head stay which had been tacked into place. i also made a new air box spacer out of alloy as i wasnt keen on the plastic one.

just a bit of an up date, i made up the new "Y" section out of the alloy and have dropped the frame off for some welding. the guy who is welding it used to be in the royal navy making planes and helicopters for 20 years and now he owns his own shop, he said it would be done by the end of t...

cmtodad amazon do have them and pstoffers those part numbers a good ! you can get both for $84.16

is that a good price i figure it is cos its on amazon !

i cant seem to find any where in the uk which sells these. can anyone out there tell me where there hiding ?

just a bit of an update, ive had abit of time off work so i got all the alloy i needed and have started making the "Y" section, i have also made a head stay which i will have welded to the frame by the top of the shock mount. here's some pics.....

how did you get the 450 air boot to fit the 500 carb ??

well done on the build mate it looks sweet ! im building a AF with a 07 450 frame and i hope it looks that good !!

thanks for the reply guys. i didnt think about using the 7 series alloy but im pretty sure ive seen that stuff about in the uk. ad i like the thought of using different thickness alloy when making the "y" section. as for the sheet size i think 1mx1m would be mre than enough !

thanks for the reply ! but im goin down the flat sheet "Y" route so im after 3mm thick alloy sheet !

well the project has pretty much been put on hold due to me being called away to ireland to work for about 8 weeks. i brought my rads with me and there s a "fab shop" next to our compound so im going to call in and see if they do tig welding so i can get my rads sorted out. and hopefully t...

here's some pics https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/3d995b6116b8fa1949152cd54742e68f.jpg i have taken the "Y" section off and also cut about 65mm off the main frame. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/38e17010f2f7ba519d3065915757182e.jpg bit of a side view, i also made up my ...

bit of an update, i got my 500 motor ito the crf frame and cut the "Y" section off along with about 2" off the main frame. i also had my rads delivered, i go them off ebay they were from china and i only paid £90 for them, i honestly cant knock them well worth getting some if you need...

the problem is over here in the uk cr500 engines are rare as rocking horse shit to buy, i didnt think that the old engins were that bad i thought they were ment to feel faster due to the lack of porting in the top end ?!

i havnt got very far in the conversion, ive been away from home working and i got home last night so now im gonna crack into it. i have ordered some new radiators so when they come i will be able to see what needs doin to the rads. there is a cr500 86 engine for sale on ebay and im thinkin about get...

am i right in saying that only the R/H side rad needs to be altered ? does it need an out let welded to the top facing down and another outlet welded on the bottom facing the other rad ? also can anyone tell me what size alloy i need for the outlets. another thing can anyone give me the designs for ...

Carlsberg don't do friendly fire incidents...... the fucking Yanks have cornered the market.

i was wondering about the rads as some people use the cr500 rads on there AF conversion, but i was thinking that the 450 rads cant be much smaller than the 500 ones ! as for the "Y" section it is a lot of work and welding but i think its worth it partly for the strength and partly cos it l...

this is what im planning to do !
