Adam, I also sent you a pm. Please hit me back when you have time. Thanks.

I recently bought a 2012 crf450 to convert and I am looking to sell the engine. It was rebuilt top and bottom with Honda parts (crank, bearings, piston, valves, seats and gaskets/seals) right before I bought it. I requested and received an invoice from the shop that did the rebuild. Hasn't even been...

Got my forks. They look great. Thanks for dealing straight.

Agreed with Hoofarted. I cut mine and raised the Y, and I am quite happy with the results. My fab man put some serious effort into blending the joint on mine and you can barely tell where the work was done. But, I'm sure there are plenty of excited frame stretchers out there as well, so happy buildi...

Man, she's a beauty! Just curious, will a standard CR500 pipe of any variety bolt up with less extensive mods?

98, you're happy with it and that's the most important thing. There's some decent info on the kxrider.com site....not NEARLY as much good info as on here, but plenty of good tips nonetheless. I'm currently watching my fab/weld man build a KX conversion (07 KX250F frame) for a mutual friend. I loaned...

I'll take them if you still have them. PM sent.

Welcome, Norton. Have you considered doing the same generation conversion as your running 450, so that you can swap parts along the way as you progress? Buy a 2005-2008 450 frame, airbox and whatever radiators you'll be using. As you do your mods you can swap everything else over and ride your conve...

I have an 02 conversion and love it. Everybody who rides it comes back grinning. The young guys who grew up on fourstrokes are always in awe of it's brute power. The old guys always (ALWAYS) come back with comments like "It does everything right" and "This is the way a bike is SUPPOSE...

Cool. I figured somebody on here would want them. That's a pretty smokin deal, but only if you're into Kwackers. I dream of findin a deal like that on two (or even one!) CR500 motors.

http://jackson.craigslist.org/mcy/2478962443.html Called this guy about the ad. He says cylinders need to be replated and probably need new cranks. Has enough electronics for one engine. Two complete motors with good cases and gearboxes is a good deal for $300. The guy sounds pretty straight. If I w...

Sweet. Way to go, Flunkie. What's the starting grid look like in that class? Is it made up of mostly 4strokes or 2strokes, 250's, 450's? If you voluntarily started in the back, then you got to romp all that ass on your way to the front, eh? Share some details. There's nothing like a 500, but we all ...

OH....MY.....GODDD!!!!!!! That is the finest sumo CR500 EVER! I'm not into the sumo thing, but I would totally own that one. I'd plate it and rock that bish up and down the coast. What a badass bike. And I'm loving the dual cans...awesome. Your soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tuqjJQJEWA&...

Sorry, you posted your last reply while I was lazily (slowly!) typing my own reply. I see that you are aware of the debris which piles up in those passages. Replace that left crank seal. If it fails, it could fry that motor again. What was the original cause of the melt-down? Was it just a wide-open...

I know that you are probably aware of the downsides of this, BUT.....you really need to make sure that your buddy knows that his bottom end is questionable if done this way. If this were a mini or even a 125, I would say never, ever go this route. A brand new top end, with like-new compression, will...

If Clifford Adoptante rode motocross and freestyle back in the day, then I guess John Desoto, THE REAL FLYING HAWAIIAN, must have ridden way, way back in the day!!! By the way, that is one superfine, badass sumo right there. Great job.

Sweet. That project was a good idea....just bad execution. It looks like the front motor mounts actually line up, but there's nowhere for the exhaust to go. Just as well, since it probably wouldn't have run very well with that fourstroke FCR carb on it!!!

And.....exhale. Parts made it today. Everything as pictured. Pipe looks even better than pictured. Thanks.

Still no parts.

I'm relieved to hear that. I'm still waiting to hear something (anything!) on mine. I get no replies.

Bought a set just like it years ago from a tool truck (Snap-on or Mac), only mine aren't color coded...that's pretty cool. Anyway, I love the drivers. I prefer the aluminum ones because they're gentler on cases and such.

Has anyone else been in contact with this seller? Anyone know him? Anyone else buy anything?

Paypal sent for pipe, radvalve and kicker, which I am sincerely hoping is the 89+ style (I got no answer to that question).
