I'm working on the pictures, got a new slr camera, I just can't figure out how to upload photo's from it.. I keep getting "file size exceeded" everytime I try to put my pictures on here.. I might use a different camera, I think my new one takes pictures that are too high quality..

I always cut the headstay block off the frame use 12mm or 1/2 flat plate for a double sided mount then weld the block back on after lining up the carb airboot & sprockets.. .. That headstay has a lot of weight pushing on it at full noise especially in motard with nearly zero wheelspin.. No flex in ...

I totally agree with Bob on this one.. The Gen 4 billet Y piece is the way to go.. CR's are used a lot in FMX & they don't break in half, the boys who use 250 2 strokes as jump bike are using 07 models with upgraded suspension but the frame is standard & holds up well.. Go Gen 4 if you can, it's an ...

I was just saying how when the cradle tubes break or crack at Y piece it can be caused by the motor rocking back from torque, especially in motard, so make sure the headstay plates are heavy enough to stop it so it's not pulling on the front engine mount under acceleration.. I've had this problem ...

I order mine through Ballards in penrith nsw.. You could always use a pro circuit pipe & move the mount on the frame.. I'm near newcastle nsw & have an aluminium fabrication & welding business.. You'll see my AF's for sale on ebay soon.. I'm only planning on selling them for 500 bucks more than it ...

Nice, the only thing I don't like is the big hole bored through the Y piece.. I know it will make the hose between radiators line up without any mods but why weaken a billet piece.. It looks awesome though.. I use Pro Circut pipes on 125 conversions & they clear the tire easy, once you have the ...

Nice Y section.. Ive done 3 of the AF conversions now.. The first one cracked at the welds from the tubes to the Y section.. I found that it was from the headstay flexing.. I don't have photo's to show but look at groutaone on youtube, he shows the same thing I'm talking about.. I'm doing 2 AF ...

I just got a new camera so keep an eye out for some pics, wait till you see my engine jig, scrap metal & bits of truck exhaust pipe to simulate cylinder & casings.. Works well, just looks ugly bolted in a frame..

Nice.. Here in Australia we have a shop called Ballards off road that sells just about everything an AF 500 nut like me could ever want, even custom made alloy bits that usually is only seen on factory bikes.. See that Jeff, I want a discount on tyres from now on..

I just started an aluminium welding business & I've done 3 af conversions now.. I ran mine for a year to see if it had any problems.. I use the 125 frame, cut the headstay, bottom frame rails & Y piece off first.. The headstay is welded back on the frame after the swingarm mount is aligned correctly ...
