Deffinately...i wouldn't work on trying to make the 02 boot fit, the gen1 boot is much longer for SURE and will fit alot closer then that...I did the same thing, i tried a gen3 boot with no luck whatsoveer and the gen 1 was basically easy as pie...the only hard part about using the lexan sheet is cutting the lexan itself to fit flush with the airbox...dannygraves wrote:the gen-1 boot is a lot longer and sites maybe 1/8" to 1/4" away from the airbox and the 1/8" lexan made it close enough.
Not the prettiest airbox, in fact i have since trimmed it alot cleaner, but it works and looks aloooot better then alot of airbox mods i've seen people come up with...

slow old fuck wont help, wont contribute, wont offer any credible advise, and probly doesnt have a bike. i cant offer help with gen4 conversions because i havent done one but teem trubble could and will help you im surejuddy wrote:Please post some pics of how they are mounted.I have my engine rotated as forward as possible without notching the frame cradle and I still had to heat the tank and compress it.That is also with cutting away a section of the RHS of frame in front of peg (as pictured).I also end up with approx 3/4'' gap from airboot to airbox.Also the other issues Danny has mentioned.Posting some pics is the only way you will earn any credibility about your work from what I can see from other comments..... And it would be nice to SEE solutions to these problems if someone has overcome them.

Mine is a gen 4 450,I did not notch the frame on the clutch side but I did on my 03 450 conversion. Notching the frame is not a problem and will allow you to lower motor more so plug will not hit tank. if you have a x model the tank is Different ?juddy wrote:Thanks Danny.At the moment I have an 02 CR 250 boot on there as it has the correct diameter for the carby and has more room than a stock 500 boot for the shock,but my shock is away at the moment so I cant see whether it clears or not.My plan is to get some 3/4" black neoprene and drill and tap from both sides to make an adaptor flange.Check out the pic,did your boot sit somewhere similar ? No matter what.....the flanges are different so some kind of adaptor plate is needed,so how can SOF have a non modified airbox ?

Some of you guy's are just fag's! and require special attention like a 3 year old. NOBODY HELD MY HAND WHEN I WAS ABOUT THE FIRST TO DO A GEN 3 450 and a GEN 4 450! I have no pictures of my bikes because I do not care. I do have a picture of me with my some of my street bikes. I will see if I can get pictures going but it is not my main priority and you know why because I could not give a shit about show and tell like a 2 year old!100hp honda wrote:slow old fuck wont help, wont contribute, wont offer any credible advise, and probly doesnt have a bike. i cant offer help with gen4 conversions because i havent done one but teem trubble could and will help you im surejuddy wrote:Please post some pics of how they are mounted.I have my engine rotated as forward as possible without notching the frame cradle and I still had to heat the tank and compress it.That is also with cutting away a section of the RHS of frame in front of peg (as pictured).I also end up with approx 3/4'' gap from airboot to airbox.Also the other issues Danny has mentioned.Posting some pics is the only way you will earn any credibility about your work from what I can see from other comments.....

I can't speak for everyone, but I want to see your bikes to get an idea of how your conversions turned out and to see how clean you were able to get that gen-4. if you don't care to help the community your are part of here by snapping a few shot then fuck off!Slow old Fart wrote:Some of you guy's are just fag's! and require special attention like a 3 year old.

Posting some pics might help someone with a build or idea for another way to do something.dannygraves wrote:I can't speak for everyone, but I want to see your bikes to get an idea of how your conversions turned out and to see how clean you were able to get that gen-4. if you don't care to help the community your are part of here by snapping a few shot then fuck off!
Actually, I think SOF thrives on the attention.

No one held my hand either, but I didn't come here looking for that. I built my bike myself, but with the help of the people here, now that I am done, I will gladly offer any help or photos to anyone who wants them. I didn't know how to load pictures either but I learned. This site is not show and tell it is enthusiasts who are proud of their acomplishments and who are here to talk about and share ideas to help others wanting to do the same thing for them selves.Slow old Fart wrote:Some of you guy's are just fag's! and require special attention like a 3 year old.

The verbal jabs or insults as you call them would come to a screeching halt if you would just post some pictures of the bikes you point to as examples of your work or having a better way of correcting an issue.Slow old Fart wrote:That i can live with but I get tired of the insult's as far as Bob throwing me off the site do you think I give 2 shit's?

I take that back on my GEN 4 he made a notch by drilling the casting out a little to lower it to where the tank does not hit. I actually have like a half inch with the shorty plug.Slow old Fart wrote:Mine is a gen 4 450,I did not notch the frame on the clutch side but I did on my 03 450 conversion.
