here she is almost complete. still need some hwd and odds and ends. 91 motor powdercoated, 2005 crf450x frame converted by TTM. mind is scattered been sleeping in the garage building it and working the kinks out for the past few days. got the first real ride on her today. FUCKING awesome. smooth as butter and had slightly more vibs than my crf450x did. i gotta say the decomp is the shit!! starts eaiser than a cr250. oh yeah she started on the first kick!!!! this thing is the most amazing bike i have ever ridden. PERIOD!!!!! any question ask away there is no way i can go threw the whole bike on the forums. i would be typing for a month. haha
something about the 24oz in the paper bag with that hairdo.....
Bike looks sick Frank and frankly (now thats some funny shit there), probably one of, if not the nicest, street legal aluminum 500 ever built....
you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for some black marchesinis....
although now i sound like one of those kooks telling you how to build your own bike..... im not a big fan of gold, but those hubs look pretty bitchen with all that black and the Brembo definitely makes my cheap ass motomaster shit look gay, thanks for that buddeeeeeeeee!!!!! BRRRAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP!!!!!
Just so I dont get the usual hatemail, that I only criticize S/H bikes...... Hey Frank, wheres the gold master clip?
i just spit my drink all over myself, that is classic shit right there..... you're such a hater Bob.......jeez!
its not gold so you can make chain/gearing/wheelbase adjustments in record time.... do you know how long it takes to spot a gold clip on a gold chain????? your beer could be warm already by then, sheesh!
I cant believe you even spotted that bob...With the ability to pick out things like that i can't even imagine how much s/h bikes must make your brain spin!
god damnit chachi that's the third time this has happened to me in the last 2 days! I wanted to tell bob he's a freaking weirdo first, now it looks like i'm just copying what you said...
That looks phuckin great! You better carry a damn thick cable around with you, I'd hate to leave that unattended in a parking lot for too long. So the decomp worked out eh, I might have to do that on my current build. My twice reconstructed right knee should appreciate that...

i see a few questions.... this bike is STREET LEGAL!! i just havent put lights on it yet. i can still ride around during ther day due to local laws. I had the silencer already. the motor fits super tight and hardley any vibs. soomth as butter esp with my rubber mount bars. few prob lems i had are i had a new r tank and there is no way it would because the spicket on the bottom of the tank hit the plug (br8ecm shorty) so i had to use my x tank and removed the long spicket from it and replaced it with the r spicket thingy. next little issue was the left rad and the water manifold. the diameter of the manifold is one size and the rad is another. so i had to take the crf250 hose and a cr500 hose and cut it and put a reducer so they fit nice and tight. as far as the pipe i modded it as well. the fmf was 1.5 inced too long. it needed to be shortned to "come down" to meet the stock 450x mount on the subframe. all in all i love this bike and is killer. smooth as butter and is nothing like i expected as far as vibrations go. mike did a killer job on modding the frame, building that work of art headstay, and making sure the swingarm was aligned properly, an did the head water mainfold. i handled the rest. the intake was perfect from chachi243. he was super cool enought to send it to me off his personal bike to make sure that if my airbox didnt fit, that i couldf still ride. as far as the decomp goes.....well that shit is on a new level. push it down...2 primer kicks....kick it riiiiing ding ding. it resets it self as soon as it fires. im gonna post a video of the wife starting it.....in a bikini
