Hey, I held strong and kept the 500 away from the Mrs grasp. Didnt have to sell it in the long run. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has made some air box adapters. Mine is a bit of a rush job and I want to replace it. If anybody has some or is going to make some for crf450 Gen III Please let me ...

Finally took the big girl out for a spin at the local motocross track. Bike went really well, i didnt really open it up but I could tell that I could ride the bike alot quicker with a bit of practice. The engine didnt really scare me even with my gearing. Really useable power, all the way around. I ...

will ya post it to australia??

Check out my photos on the topic Gen III500 Build, my welds arent as bad as the ones shown. Anybody wants some more upclose photos id be pleased to post them. Nothing was really to bad but wouldnt recommend it. I bought mine cause I didnt have much time for the build and thought I could just "drop ...

scooters dead right. Get a brand new engine from s/h and we can give you a hand finding the right bike and people to help convert it. im no welder, but if i was to do it again i wouldnt buy a rolling frame from MPS but buy a near new bike, and manage the build, outsourcing when i needed to. You can ...

Mate for about 6k i made a Gen III 500. Thats with paying too much for the rolling chassis from MPS in the states (should have just done it myself but didnt have the time). Buy a 500, sell the frame (i got over 2K just for the rolling frame) then keep an eye out for a crfx450. If you really want one ...

Scooter,
seems to be the problem with MPS. It could have been a fantastic build but nothing lined up properly. Had to cut and relocate or grind alot of the brackets. Still havnt taken it for a spin yet. Hopefully it will be ok.

Nearly finished, just got the airbox mod to go. Waiting on parts from the US to turn up. Dont think Ill get it done before christmas though. Pretty happy with it at the moment, started first kick after about six months of sitting there motionless.

Just finished re-lacing the wheels. I had the rims anodised and the hubs powdercoated. Wasnt that hard to re-lace either. Just took my time and everything lined up. Took a while to get it to run true.
Exhaust system in place now, but had to re-weld some brackets as typically for my MPS frame, they ...

Found out why the front wasnt lining up properly. I was given th wrong axle and spacer!!! Starting to wish I had have waited for a 450 roller to convert myself rather than buying MPS.

Rolling chassis for sale. Anybody interested its on ebay as well.

Yeah guys, its a victorian rec rego. Going to have to go through the process again when this is finished though.
Got some time to put some more parts on. Had to lengthen the wiring from the CDI unit and threw on some other parts.
Im up to changing the tank shape. Any hot tips wouldnt go astray at ...

Just put some time in on the bike in the shed. Took some time to locate a die grinder. One of the welds was stopping the motor from sitting in properly. Once I shaved the weld ever so slightly the motor sat in nicely.
Heres some picks with more to follow. BTW where are all the old ADB website guys ...

G'day all,
Just thought id post some pics up of my alloy conversion. I bought a gen III crf "rolling chasis" the other day and am in the process of putting it together. The donor bike is a 98 Cr500.

They look freakin awesome!!!! Wish I knew about em before I ordered my frame from the US!

Just wondering what the carby of choice was for the regulars on this site? Im freshening up my motor before an af conversion and want to do it right. I have read that a PWK 39mm is the way to go??? Any help would be awesome.

Turbine II sounds like the option of choice for those who know!! I reckon Ill get one. Will there be any trouble with it getting the noise below 96-94 DB with it?? The noise police are getting picky on some tracks in australia and Im pretty keen on keeping the bike as quiet as possible.

Alisobob, whats wrong with the 'Q'. Does it suck too much snap out of the motor or is it just too quiet???

Im pretty keen to get a standard pipe, being in australia I think it will be easier for me in the long run to stay with the non service honda pipe. Im pretty keen on having the quietest muffler available. Pretty sick of these bastard loud four bangers, i want to prove that you can have style, power ...

Just wondering if there is a pipe and muffler combo of choice for a CR250 gen 3 conversion or if they are much the same as each other in regards to fit. I was just thinking if some mufflers fit better than others. I want to keep noise down as much as possible so I was leaning towards an FMF 'Q ...

Just putting a shout out to all you aussies out there. Im in need of a 250 gen 3 roller (02 or up) or complete bike for my conversion. I got about 3k to spend. If you guys know of any around vic or south nsw give us a bell please. Thanks in advance guys. Im lookin foward to starting my conversion!!!

welcome to an awesome site!! where bouts in oz are you from??

welcome to another aussie!!!

Finally took the big girl for a quick ride last week. :D :D Bugger me!! The motor is a monster!! :twisted: It pulls everywhere and is no where near as scarry or dangerous as people have been warning me or that I had imagined. The motor is awesome. Pulls well low down. Haulls ass up top. Fat ass mid ...

awesome pickup on that roller g.s How did you find it on flea bay?? Ill let you have the 450 frame, its all the way with a gen 3 250 frame for me. Look foward to reading your thread when you begin the build.
