nice bike, but you might want to look at how tight your chain is

I like everything but the graphics, but each to his own, nice work

Loving the radial caliper and suspension!

Danny Graves and M.F.D.P said they love the graphics!!!

Will the front brake line not fit on the correct side of the fork tube??

the chain is good its new and has not been used on the bike yet its got an inch and a bit of play in it so i will be good ,yes the graphics are loud but so is the rest of the bike how often do you see a plated cr500af sm.and also the brake pipe has to go that way or it rubs on the wheel as they are very wide and have a 320mm disc thanks for the comments tho

Nice bike you got there fella!
Where did you get those graphics?

As an ex-pat I can only imagine how much unwanted attention you are going to get from PC Plod...

...and how much fun you are going to have in the British winter (September to May).

...but nice piece of kit. Get some frame guards before your heels rub that powder coat off.

head stay is being made at the moment trying a few different types,may go with the type the matches the front spar like a crescent shape one.got a block mounted to the shock tower as well so could go both ways yet.still not been ridden yet.the graphics are from amr racing but do have another set of hart & huntington ones as no one or here seems to like them

This is the best 450 type head-stay I've seen.

do you think that will work well? it does support from the back as well as the top ,i can get that made up by my engineer who done the frame.one piece billet?

well done on the build mate it looks sweet ! im building a AF with a 07 450 frame and i hope it looks that good !!

how did you get the 450 air boot to fit the 500 carb ??

mustangboy17 · Post by **mustangboy17** » November 23rd, 2010, 10:04 am

it fitted with little bit of modding but the angle is wrong so im making another boot with a 99 cr 250 one and a airbox panel should look a little better.

my one peice headstay for my crf450 chassis looks trick since the pics ive slotted the bolt hole for the head bolt as you cannot get a drill bit into there and mounted a amr racing coil on the top looks good airbox mod is done now so its all finished apart from a want to put a set of yoshi carbon twin pipes on it [crf 250],it may work ok

100hp honda · Post by **100hp honda** » December 12th, 2010, 10:04 am

sweet. how do you frill a hole in the middle for head ?

mustangboy17 · Post by **mustangboy17** » December 12th, 2010, 10:24 am

i had to put a 8mm slot in the headstay so can have the bolt in the head first and then slide the headstay over it as you connot get a drill bit in there does the job
