I may do a combination of both as the Y came out pretty much complete. So, you're using a die grinder? Something like the one below? Sorry about the "DUH" questions but appreciate the help.

relieve the downtube so that the Y will fit once relocated? Do you use a bit of some sort? Can you post a link to whatever you're using?

Thanks!

:lol: well, if I blow a rod through the trans in mine, its getting a kx500 conversion, and I could probably pay for the whole conversion with my fuel setup, ign and whatever other parts are salvageable, so I'm not worried. I'm the same with my '08 CRF450R. I especially don't worry about it because ...

Belated Merry Christmas to all. I got the usually dad stuff (Old Spice, etc) then my wife surprised me with a Canon 120SX IS camera. Takes sweet pics and will beat lugging the DSLR around at Daytona, etc.

Best wishes to everyone and the families.

That's funny as shit right there.

Nice write up on this and the damper Bob.

Looked on a parts fiche for a '08 TRX450R and appears the thumper quads just have a single cable too. Oh well, it was worth thinking about.

Huh, I would have never thought of that. You know, that could help your form too since you don't have to drop your right elbow to get to full throttle. Do the four-stroke quads come with those? I was thinking about getting a G2 Quick Throttle tube for my 450 since my local track has some jumps right...

Why are you running a thumb throttle? Got a pic of that?

BTW, great vid highdezman.

I had always wondered how you guys got it all together with the 3/4" stock in there. Makes sense now.

Great work on those and thanks for the pics. They went straight to my "Misc Build Pics" file.

Thanks Danny. I appreciate it.

So maybe 1/8" gap then Danny?

I'll start a thread soon Bob, once I get a bit further along. BTW, what size holes for the plug welds on the extensions/cradle? Also, are you looking to get the cradle to extension joint butted tight together or a little gap so the weld gets to the 3/4" insert aswell? I'm a carpenter so I ask s...

Thanks man. I posted a reply last night but don't see it now. Where the heck did it go? No idea.

Anyway, I got started last night after the kids went to bed. Definitely, will put a sawzall on the "to buy" list.

Got my frame in today and it looks fucking sweet. Hardly a scratch on it and I paid $150.00 + shipping for it. :woot: My friends wife works at the DMV so I'm going to see what I can do about getting a title. I don't really need one but it would be nice (especially since taxes would be based on the $...

I didn't care for any of them. Not impressed. I see alot better shit than that at Daytona every year.

Very sad to hear.

I did, Bob's crusade are unbiased :lol: AJ is pretty cool and has made an effort to make good on unsatisfied customers. RJacks is still a dipshit, but I don't think he has ripped off many hoons lately, so he hasn't really been much of a topic. BTW dude, thats one fucked up story... shit, man, I'd w...

That frame dosent exist anymore, so neither does my crusade.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day....

I've been more shocked that Bob hasn't posted that Service Honda Gen 4 pic that he likes to pull out of his archives. Common' Bob, one more time for old times sake.

damn dude, thats one hell of a story... :shock: I was just talking about cincinatti earlier today, my great grandfather got into some trouble there. The trick is to just get some scrap of various ticknesses and play with it. on aluminum you need to move pretty quick, it goes from nice welding to bu...

Sadly, one is dead and the other lives in Ohio. Doesnt that make both of them dead? https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/1d5333baf111b3b42f936e38fe113bf4.gif Uh, no. I love Ohio, Cincinnati specificially but I met a sweet, at the time, girl and have been here since (she won't leave Florida, I ...

bummer about your brother... I think the argon including a tank was like $80, then every refill was like $30. I use that 4340 wire, its like $15 for a roll that will last you forever. I use my works account at airgas, so it might cost you a bit more. I use that damn welder about every week or two. ...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=55525 then I got a regulator for free from work, but they are usually $35 and a bottle of argon. Sounds great Danny. Is Argon pretty cheap? Sad, that I'm so fucking illiterate considering that two of my three brothers were welders. Sa...

serisouly, you have to have some local fabricators, it would suck to mail your frame back and forth, especially in regards to canadian customs. I have a harbor freight cheapo MIG and I used that to tack everything, then just dropped it off with my welder, didn't even have to leave a mockup engine i...

Yeah, really, not exactly my corner welder.
