I tried something a bit different for the front exhaust mount. Some may like it some may not, but I liked the simplicity. It bolts to the front motor mount and works really well. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/0d4860b5346392594c943ee363b45919.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/...

Ya, but my mom had a saying: ＂its like leaving your virgin daughter to the Hell's Angels. 500 ridin hoons probably ain't much better

Making the airbox adapter.

Black, I hear ya on that. I guess I first saw the pockets and it really appealed to me and stuck with it. The designing over the phone caused the rub. But you bring up valid points. One difference about your inserts and my y is that your tubes will line up. If I make inserts instead of pockets I nee...

Ya. I got a cool wife. She suggested I build the bike in the living room so i can see the tv. When I was bitching about my coolant lines she picked up the box of hoses and went to work. Wasn't right but gave me an idea. Plus she makes the best Chinese food you ever ate. (She's Chinese). Also encoura...

We could probably make one for ya. The only thing is we need to change some dimensions and I want to get rid of the front motor mounts so you can be more flexible with position. With that said, I would probably want to try it on another frame before I hook anybody up with one. I don't want you to be...

I started the build thread in AF forum. I just realized I didn't take enough pics so I will take more tonight. You might dig the Y we made

Time to weld





Well, I guess I need to take more weld pics. He did a really nice job so I want to make sure and show some

My Y is put it as you have seen before, but fits the 2002-2004 frame. If I ever make another one I am not going to integrate motor mounts. That part sucked and the down tube holder at the bottom rubbed the motor so I had to sand it down a bit. Also the down tube slot was a bit wide so I had to put i...

Well, you all have probably seen this done to death by now, but I would like to share my build. I started with an 04 CRF450 roller with Warp 9 hubs and wheels, pro taper (and renthal twin wall) bars, factory connection suspension (not set up for me), tall seat, decent plastics for $450. https://bann...

Ok. Got it. Now I can start a build thread of my build.

Ok. Well that didn't work right. Let me try again so I can figure out how to post pics directly in the thread. I'm new to the message board thing.

Hey folks. Glad to be here. I'm from Oregon and am down here at UGA trying to finish my PhD in plant genetic engineering, but most importantly, trying to finish my 2004 CRF450 to CR500 conversion. I was a machinist/welder in the Army and formerly a farm mechanic. I have learned so much from reading ...
