That looks like an E-line stator cover to me . . . . . ?

You madman ! Have fun, and good luck. I'd come up to spectate, but I'm riding the Safari AT, and pushing my luck with time off work . . . .

I have one of Roostys decomp heads with the modified squish. It works bloody mint, with absolutely no detonation under load, even on crap 95 octane. I'm a fan !

I picked up a 380 KTM for free, a (still) registered XC model . . . . . with pretty much exactly the same plan in mind. You've done a beautiful job of that conversion from the looks of it, and the 380 is a sweet engine. Just gotta find nice new KTM chassis with a popped engine now . . . .

Sorry, I don't know how to post a link here. My thread is called "Gen 4 CRF 450 X build ", and the headstay stuff is on page 2. (in 'A/F's only', of course ). Groutaone is easiest to find on YouTube. You'll have quite a few vids to sift through, but it's an amusing way to pass an evening !

A combination of the 2 styles works best. See Groutaone's excellent effort, or my build thread. I love how smooth mine is with the new headstay, compared to how vibey it was with the original. (similar in concept to the second option shown above). Spent several hard hours on it today smashing whoope...

The older XL and XR 600's had the same spline too, and steel levers that are easy to mod. (KLX 650 Kawasaki fits too, but they have the weirdest pressed steel lever . . . ) Also CRF 450 is a bit longer than std 500 lever, but a slightly goofy bend . . . .

Without going into to much detail, even another 200 a month for me is out of the question, but in Darwin it is allot more than that a 100 a week just so I have the privledge of keeping my own bike, no way. Gregrobo said you might now someone who is interested, I wanted to give a couple of the main ...

G'day Warrnum. GMBond is right, a storage unit is a cost effective answer. I had a single car size lockup, with reed switches, and motion sensors, in a secure gated compound, 24 hour keypad access, for $180/ month. I had 8 bikes in it while I extended my workshop, so one half the size would be heaps...

WTF ,,, less power than a 500 ,,, but ya gotta love the airbox and air boot, must be there to suck up extra crankcase blow by I noticed the airboot too, PMSL ! It is the most basic chop, stretch and weld-back-together job, so much that they didn't even bother removing the redundant airbox ! The rev...

Bad news man, I feel for ya. I live in dread of the day I come home to find the same shit. Gregrobo tells me you might be moving the Gen 4 on as a result ? I hope you don't, coz then the cuntz have beaten you. Their low act has then robbed you of your enjoyment of your own bike. NO FUCKER has the ri...

Seen them fetch upwards of $700 on Ebay, and average condition one go for $550. I have a digital ignition with lighting coils and full wiring harness etc that you can have . . . . fuck'n Service Honda crap ! It all works, but the bike is SO hard to start with it on. I now run standard ignition, and ...

If we can see, all the way over here, how fuckin stupid that is, why can't the voting publuic of America ?

Fuck ! I'm going out to the workshop to check mine right now ! Cheers Greg

I passed up a MINT low hours example for $10K not long ago. This dude is playing with himself . . .

Ifd you're after the REALLY low profile plug and cap, (R 7282-7 and TRS 1225) I have both brand new. I didn't need them for my Gen 4, so can let you have em cheap. I'm in Perth.

Hey guys I am most of the way done this build and wanted to know what specific areas of the gen 2 build interests you guys and ill try to post up pics and a description of what I did All of it mate. We love these build threads ! I am about to do a Gen 2 to go with my Gen 4, and am very interested i...

The challenge is prolly' getting one with the right reserve capacity. Look for a XR tank the most resembles a CR tank , like a XR600 or something.... The reserve capacity is easily adjusted by altering the length of the main tank pickup tube. I have only ever had to extend one once, and standard cl...

Hey Torker, you couldn't be bothered with your PMs ? I'm seriously after this engine. Ya wanna get back to me ?

Hi, I noticed that my Cr5 has more power when I leave the choke turned in. My feeling is that I got around 2-4 hp more with the choke. I got a Sudco PWK 41 racing carb. I have to look my setting up can't tell you by heart. Needle is around DGH/J/K/L and as far as I know clip in middle position, I g...

For those of you guys that have a cracked, plated pipe, have it TIG welded using a Stainless filler rod. I have about 4 cracks on my pipe, and all look to have been Tigged with stainless. The welds dont rust a bit, and it didnt get into the plating too bad on my PC Platinum, you can hardly tell it ...
