Thanks bob, the tank does agree, at the bottom rear of the tank i have almost 1/4" clearance above the headstay and mounting block. The 450 frame has more room under the gas tank than the crf250 frame.

I think it was $175 for the ignition cover and $150 for the clutch, please don't qoute me. Im going to start out with the ignition covers then work on getting some clutch covers done and would like any feedback on the needs of the design, like oil capacity, size, shifter/brake lever clearances, anyt...

The more buyers i have the easier it will be to keep the price down.

Today i got my new headstay mount for the 450 frame and a crf250/500 headstay without the mounting hole at the head. take a LOOK :cool: https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b9eeca5e5fd23b985afe6d62599a2330.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/1ae874f82dad8132c2cbd2adfd3f5cf5.jpg https:...

Wow honda reinvented the 2002 crf 450 wye, pretty beefy. I love the looks of these new bikes, this thing should look killer.

Thats a very good point bearoso, maybe it would be best to do that or i decide and thats the way they sell. Do you think the cover should also offer more inner clearance for flywheel weights or ?

thats undecided as there hasn't been enough time yet for responses from anyone.

After talking with my mach. guy today i decided to make covers regardless of what anyone else does, he will do a run of 3, 5, 10 what ever is wanted. He wants a new gun and we want covers.

If shanman comes thru i will drop the idea if not i will be waiting for more interested hoons.

What would you hoons like engraved on the covers ?

The machinist said the simpler the better, i was thinking
Honda ,
AFC,
CR500,
Banned circle
?

I have found a new machinist, I talked to him today about making all my parts and looking into doing Ignition Covers from billet. Anyone interested please pm me about the covers, i need at least 10 hoons wanting them for him to do them. price is around $150-$200 depending on how much labor and inter...

A lot of nice work there but some how I missed that you were in competition with Service Honda and everyone else making 500AF conversions. I guess that explains why you are always so vicious in attacking AJ’s work. I think any attacks on the shops building these bikes and charging big bucks deserve...

I will be talking to a new machinist tomorrow about doing some work for me. He's in a small shop him and his dad own, i was told he has the capabilties, can do the cad and was interested in the work i need done. i will ask about the covers also, im in a dam machinist town that used to be the screw c...

Looks like same guy that did ridereds did yours !
take it back or get your money back. That bend is the wrong radius, angels down to far also. i dont claim to have 20 something years experience, I will do it right or not at all.

yeah blackz i checked the microfisch, 2005 crf250 and 2005 crf450 share the same clamps.

dubious it will be a couple weeks before i get more mounts and im not sure when i can get headstays again, dam machinist. if you want me to mod a set of stock headstays up i can do that but dont know if they would fit your build. Bob the silencer really doesnt look that bad, the bike is 3 ft. in the...

Today i sorted out the motor mounts, exhaust, headstays and chain alignment. the front motor mounts from my crf250/500 work with some washers towards the motor side, these will be remade with the correct thickness. the lowers wont work at all but i did save some lowers the machinist messed up and th...

hey bob how to i post my avatar to my name ? i dont like the blank look, reminds me of some of the people i work with. lmao

yeah bob yours has a nice clean look. on my crf250 frame i made a small bracket about 2" long to attach the rear silencer mount to the original mount as you did, it also came out nice. after more mock up today and alot of thinking im going to leave it right were it is, its looking like thats th...

I started this 450 lastnight, its about the same as the crf250 frame. my mounts from the 250 frame seem like they will work at least the heigth on them is the same my need to make them thicker towards the motor. Two biggest issues so far are the headstay and silencer mounting. headstay; do i do a ha...

knobby as said before use a stock style pipe, only the rear mount on the stinger needs to be changed. there are no mods needed for the silencer either, add 1 mounting boss about in the middle of the subframe side rail and use a bracket that mounts to the orignal crf rear silencer mount, thats it. if...

I would love to build one of these, the tubing isnt that big of a challenge. make 2 billet rails that incorperate the front mounts and match the tubing shape, use the stock headstay or fab a sheetmetal one as done above, just be sure to inclose it :roll: . These new bikes look so fkn cool, are small...

I dont know if you hoons have seen these before so i will post them for you.

hey ps those frames look nice, now i know why i cant find a cr250 frame on ebay.

do all pc pipes hit the tire?(on newer AFs), mine has the same shiny spot, anyone checked a gnarly https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b19e0f4e08e6253dde5482ec0d58f82b.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i6KkUAaY6Lo/TKdVxnR1QgI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/XhcOTmaf0AM/s1600/IMG_0521.jpg Thats what happens when the ...

Your build looks really nice,
if you use stock rads would there be enough room for the crossover to fit between the motor and downtube ?
