I can't remember where, but I read an article once about an Engineering grad student who built a super single around an XR650 motor. He designed his own frame.

There was a ton of pictures. Those motors are huge!!!!

Thank you!!!

That thing is pretty wild looking.

I'd love to take that for a spin around my neighborhood on a Sunday morning

can someone embed that or something?

For us non-members

That's quite an avatar

This is probably a vague question, but how much horsepower will something like that make?

That's a really cool looking and unique 500af.

The conventional forks only add to that

Damn!! That is a crazy looking carb/airbox set up!!!




Awesome bike!

So I got the airbox plate done: https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/3402636f6edf933e1907db891a449bb2.jpg Mounted up on the bike with a freshly oiled UNI https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/fefbed1f61af1ed0dd7b820b77aa6c01.jpg Got my silencer mounted up: https://bannedcr500riders.com/imag...

Well I finally got the radiators hooked up and flowing :D https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/0407098bb5370c06f5dc2a60a8f1f8c9.jpg I didn't like the way my exhaust was sitting so I relocated the mount on the back of the pipe and rehung it. The outlet is about 2" lower now, kinda like a Se...

More time in a math classroom than you apparently

if i knew how to upload the pictures of my fukin bike id let you go to town on it!!you ever flow tested a head? you actually know the thermal dynamics of it? the effect of kinetic energy vs flow in a cooling system? You know all that but do not know how to post pictures on an internet forum? :roll:...

Wheelies are why God invented motorcycles

That's a really nice looking bike.

You did some real nice fab and welding.



I stole your idea for the head outlet

Aside from those those fittings......

what is up with that huge weld around the spark plug?

Thanks for the edit, Jeff

So far the left side seems to need no modification.

I'm heading out of town for the weekend, when I get back I can measure the Chinky radiators to compare them to stock.

By the naked eye they are larger in every dimension.

I just bought a pair.
Quality is good.
They are a lot bigger!

Check my thread I had to modify mine to clear the pipe.

What bikes came stock with PWKs?

I'd love to find an eBay deal like that!

Can't wait!!!

I followed Lonewolf's lead on this one: https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/4a3d7110321b5f5da58154209e5409e7.jpg CRF450 outlet = 3/4" aluminum elbow If you look inside the head and really think about it, there is no difference between a 2 into 1 that ends in 3/4", or one 3/4" ou...

So last Saturday I worked on my bike all day. It was one of those days where you get a ton of stuff done but none of it shows. I did manage to get all the metal fab done so I could drop it of at my buddy's welding shop. Today I picked it up. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/7a51f34cae891535...
