So here is my gen 2 that Mxdogger fabbed up for me. Finally got it together and took it for a ride. All i can say is why did i wait so long to do it.
gen 2 cr250 frame
crf450 front forks
Suspension sprung and valved for my weight and riding style
Gen 3 dezert tank with gen 3 radiator shrouds
Thanks to dogger and everybody that helped me out. Also if your thinking about having someone convert your bike Mxdogger did a great job for a even better price and was always willing to talk to me and answer my questions.

Its a clarke 3.2 gallon for a gen 3 cr250. I had to heat and move some spots on the bottom of the tank but it was minor and pretty straight forward. I used a cheapo harbor freight heat gun and just heated the area around where i wanted to push in until i could smell the plastic and then pushed on the tank with the handle of a hammer and then dumped cool water on the area to keep it from popping back. The shrouds bolt right up to the tank and the radiators but i made a little bracket out of aluminum to connect them to the frame. Well worth it in my opinion. The tank is pretty low pro and the shrouds look better then the gen 2 as well. You can do the back plastics too.
