It all slides together like Peanutbutter & Jelly... Any idea if this would work on my 02 450 swingarm? Move the right bushing (54mm) to the left side and then order a 52141-KZ4-J40 Bushing (59mm) and use it for the right. That's my set-up and it lines up great on the 03 450 frame; no need for w...

If the welds are solid, I'd run it. Trust me, by the time you get everything on it, you won't see much of the welds anyway. I know we all want everything to be perfect but sometimes you just have to accept it and move on. I know when I had the engine and expansion chamber on I could not see any of ...

Got this thig back from the guy welding it up, I guess you get what you pay for and when it sounds to good to be true... LISTEN!!!! The welds are good for the most part, some way better then others; I would say two people worked on it! He never got the rad mounts on either, I think he just bit off m...

-on an 02 450 is it better to cut the inside mount off the Y and then reuse the Y like Eyesky did in this thread? http://bannedcr500riders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1170 Balaclava I got my frame with the Y and cradle already cut, when the original builder changed direction towards a CR250 build, ra...

Me too!!! Right now I just have a 100 piece puzzle

Well here it is all ready to go back to the shop... Took the rubbers out of the rads so they won't melt, then I mooked it up with the mounts for them to tack and then remove the rads; then he said they will run it thru some bath to strip it clean for weld :?: I guess it will save me time when it com...

Alright, welder has had it for a bit and finally finished tacking it up. I can't complain as it is not costing me a dime, they are a small family machine shop and got a nice order for some type of aluminum carts so they have been busy making money. Anyways got it back to pull the motor and finailze ...

Why Yamaha? Sure you can still get the ones for the CR from Honda parts direct or worse case from SH???

I think Bob has a crossover on the top and bottom just like the original CR500, it allows for the most water flow between rads; where mine just has the small hose on top for equalization (is that a word :lol: ) between the tanks. The 05 and up CRF's already have the top cross over just need to add t...

http://bannedcr500riders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1170 I took a little bit of my case mounting bosses and just put plates inside the rails. The frame is at the welders getting finished, word is he will be done Sat :roll: Oh well he is a busy man and one should not be complaing about free labor :D

Here is what I came up for my rad setup for my 03 CRF450 conversion, left rad is stock 450 and the right is a 02 CR250. Both rads are identical in size and mounting locations; the right already has the outlets in place and for me the left only needs the outlet rotated 90 degrees up. I did however ha...

Ouch... Glad u ok! Diggers suck!

I bet it is because you did not post any pics of your build

Looking thru the fiche, looks like the 02-04 CR250 use the same radiator, which looks similar to the 01 only a different part #. Anyone have a 02-04 CR250 rad and a 02-04 CRF 450 rad to compare mounting locations; maybe post measurements??? I already have a new CRF450 left rad that I need the outlet...

Off to the welder today, exhaust mounts, coil mounts, radiator mounts all ready for a bead! Went with a different design on the head stay, copied King Okkies from the other board; plus the other one was just too cheesy :lol: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff317/eyesky2002/headstaytop-1.jpg http:...

Do I dare say 3

Great job! Going try the 02 CR250 boot idea on mine!

Looks great!!!

How much for just a set of the engine mounts?

All I can say is sweet job my friend, that is a work of art!

Getting ready to buy myself a Christmas gift, gonna be new complete exhaust for my conversion.

What should I get, FMF, Pro Circuit?? I live in Iowa so it will be trail and short MX.

Since I do not have mounts on my frame and have to fab them anyways, will I have to mod the pipes at all?

Why? The manifold will determine the "Y" placement. Everything lines up good, but being that I have to take it out and have it welded I just want to get it all done in one trip to the shop. I will need to have the expansion chamber mounts welded on once I get them fabed and I can not do e...

Holding off on the welding til I get the exhaust and with x-mas just around the corner I may wait til after the first of the year to get those. I will post it up once I get it welded.

Very nice work, might have to try that coil location for mine!
