Looking good Rob!

All good Scooter. Just waiting on what mods you have to do, then I will do the same. Thanks for your effort in getting these off the ground.

I was waiting to see what modifications are required and may just get mine done locally. I would also like to thank Scooter and Roosty for there efforts in getting these made.

Received covers in Australia today. Very happy with them. Thanks heaps Scooter5002 and Roosty.

Gmbond, The billet was about $400 Aus. Was enough to make at least 2 sets of rails and some other bits and pieces we need. Machining was done by a mate at no cost.

Bob, We made the billet frame rails 32mm wide, standard was 25mm. This allowed the front engine mount to be flush with inside of rails. We made them wider for extra strength. Hope that makes sense?

nmdesertrider, Yeh I think you are right. The original mounts were pretty much a copy of Shanmans, from his PDF file. His mounts have been use on a lot of bikes with out issue.

First Pipe was CPI.



Second pipe.

Ha Ha 100hp, not enough we recon.

The motor was only braced sideways when the first rails broke. We thought maybe headstays came loose. Which caused stay to brake and load frame rails with too much force. Rails held up fine for 6 months running standard engine. They broke on first outing with 80+hp engine.

I realise the engine mounts should have been a lot wider where they meet the frame rail. Rails stood up to 58hp engine for a good few months. They failed when we upped the HP.

Have now changed to billet frame rails after breaking two sets of box type rails.

Guys, I am wanting to fit an oversize gas tank to my 06 crf450 conversion. The standard tank fits without hitting the full size plug. I require a 3 gallon tank or there abouts. I am also running a steering dampner.

Is there a tank that will bolt straight up?

Is there a particular brand of tank ...

Ok Shaggy, Better luck next time. It is a very hard race, you need fitness and good luck as well.

Your head stays are rippers mate. I recon they help minimise vibration.

Thanks Shaggy and thanks for your help as well. How is your rocket going?

Thanks Gunption. How is your build going mate?
