I've got to agree with paul. Did they forget to box in the enderside of the Y??

Looks tidy and those frame rails are pimp, wonder where he got the tubing??

All that bling and he cheaps out on a steel shifter???

Im happy to say mine will look nowhere near as nice but will definatly be hammered with regularity

Thats what happens when the motor is NOT clocked foward enough !

IS THAT A service honda ?

Shit, that Y looks like garbage ! Appears to bave been bent (using a vice and hammer, judging by the marks) from something really soft and ductile, possibly something like 5005 H34. Not boxed in beneath, and no structural connection between cradle tubes and downtube. You'd bet pretty heavy on that thing breaking in half if stressed ! BTW, did anyone else notice the radiator tank touching the Y ?

100hp honda · Post by **100hp honda** » December 12th, 2010, 9:12 pm

i noticed the Y is hollow underneath. not sure what thats all about

. wonder why the Y is up that high. guess he plans on putting his arm in there

Gravel Scratcher · December 12th, 2010, 9:46 pm

I don't think the Y is stock, heres mine straight from the crate

also unless he found a source for that tubing he has machined that up

Look at his pic, it has a smooth uniform bend. Have a look at mine it has 2 distinct bends from the factory.

ya its a service honda, but i think/hope it because the pipe is bent really bad, i need a few tire spoons and a hammer to take it off, and put it back on
i didnt have a mark there till i got my suspension revalved(softer) and i mashed the pipe at the same time, but i think i bottomed it before

I dont know if you hoons have seen these before so i will post them for you.

mxdogger · Post by **mxdogger** » December 29th, 2010, 12:11 pm

I would love to build one of these, the tubing isnt that big of a challenge. make 2 billet rails that incorperate the front mounts and match the tubing shape, use the stock headstay or fab a sheetmetal one as done above, just be sure to inclose it

. These new bikes look so fkn cool, are smaller, slimmer than the old 450's.

who needs a conversion done ? i need some fun money

I guess that's good if you are the size of Ricky Carmichael
