it is pretty frickin cool. Sharing the experiences of "The Process"

ive done four bikes, my 05 the latest, this 02 CR250 is my first bike, just hogged and welded the stock Y and put top gussets on, modified the radiators and pics of where i put my coil and box so i didnt have to lenghthen the leads....stock 500 airboot glued to my stock 250 airbox.... your carb shou...

Congrats on the build...and the win! It really blows me away to see how far the whole conversion community has come. The things some of you are doing from a fabrication standpoint is second to none...including anything that could be done from the factory. Simply awesome work man! YOU STARTED IT! :l...

Chachi's is beautiful, and probably the same amount of work as dickin' around and trying to rework the oem parts to fit. Thanks Bob, and you too Richie... i wasn't trying to "steer" you to my style of frame mod as much as let you know about my two stroke chassis conversion.... i can send ...

finished it up saturday at 10 pm, raced it sunday, got 3rd after falling on lap one, ended up winning the STARRS intermediate points title on my 500.... in a sea of thumpers. Gotta love it! Still a few little details (graphics & handguards) to iron out but it rips! :twisted: https://bannedcr500r...

heres the link to my 05 CR250R... http://www.bannedcr500riders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1451 the 2 stroke conversions are a little different than the 4, the Y being a bit trickier on the 2 stroke, but everything else is pretty straight forward. i just found it easier to make my whole lower frame se...

yeah you guys are on it... im sure it was the piston skirt too, but as far as anyone saying cast is the reason, ive had much worse luck with forged pistons as far as failure rate, not necessarily broken skirts but ring and heat issues... this obviously is due to either a blown out of round bore or s...

unless you put the green sticker from your green sticker bike on a piece of plastic and zip tie it to the suspension of whatever youre ridin with a sparky. i finally photobucketed the deal so heres what i got..... http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m88/chachi243/forsale020Small.jpg http://i102.photo...

okay, hole in bottom of cases means the rod went "see ya"
so now for sale, one 450 roller modded to accept a CR500 motor, with carb, stock reeds and intake, all electronics, pipe and silencer included.... make offer....

i got the motor from astroman, and the kid rode the bike 5 times....now there is a good rattle... piston? wrist pin or rod bearing? we havent even looked but the kid says maybe he just wants a 250 and some dough ... this bike scared him a bit (he is throttle happy) SO 2004 CRF450R clean title, with ...

thanks again for the compliments, i just don't get the satisfaction riding my other bikes that I DO get from the 2 coversions i own that i gave the "works".... funny how STOKED riding these bikes makes you feel when you build them from pieces...

i cant get as side ways getting in the corner with that lack of engine beaking you mentioned... less engine braking lets me enter further inside and ride a tighter line with the wheels more inline, not way crossed up but just a bit, but off the corner, well , speedway it is. not stopwatch friendly b...

thats exactly right Bob...... and iv'e been lucky so far , thanks Iggy (he suggested it to me on my first build) and since i rode the wheels off that bike and it never failed me, i never fixed it, .... the design i mean... ive done 4 frames now, but the last 2 with handmade cradles, and i have run i...

dude you guys rock... that boot was leaving a greaser, like a turning brake... SLower corner speed but usually the drag race champ to the next corner, if you can steer on one wheel... :D that shot is buttonwillow kart track, very slick so its easy to get loose there, the track in apple valley is ver...

i know you can build one cheaper than buying it so that should figure in to the resale equation, if you do it clean enough, you can still resell it fairly quickly, plus the satisfaction of owning a bike you built (mostly) is un describable, specially when it works bitchin'. AJ builds beautiful bikes...

Well 3 days into it (not full days damn business calls) it is almost done, needs my boingers, controls, fuel, and my supermoto clutch... when i originally did my first 02 CR250R, i had hogged out the Y and ran batwing gussets..but i still had to thin out and box in the leg of the frame right by the ...

Whaddup brethren. i build my own aluminum frame conversions and ride supermoto in southern california. i have a street plated 02 CRF450 (plus 41cc's and half the strokes) and i just finished an 05 CR250R conversion for my full race bike for next year. I like the 2 stroke conversions better, but that...
