Well, I have actually changed my own oil and do have a pair of vicegrips available but the Y/cradle look to be the easy part of the mod.
All the little dodads [pipe hangers/airbox/coil/etc] look like a PITA unless you're "fab man".
With 2 "extra" engines sitting around all I need to get in well over my head is a roller............

Thankyou Mr. Stiles!!!!
I have too much to do, and still get my alloy tank made in time for all the rides that are coming up.... Redrocket nicely loaned me his S/H modified OEM tank to see if it would fit, and a 3 gal ACERBIS ( unmodified) if I was feeling a bit cheeky to modify myself....
I slapped on the S/H unit.. it fit..... so Icalled them to order one... Spent 5 minutes trying to explain it is a CR500 AF X... finally gave the fuck up....
Called Graves..... he confirmed that more heat is your best frind when modifiny tanks.... so I went out and bought another heat gun.
Got that tank very warm.....smelled like the factory that makes Brits' dildos.... left the center relatively cool.... and with one push.... the 2" proud convex area became a 2" concave area..... tank fits like a friggin glove.. even with the standard sparkplug.
Big thanks to Mike and Danny...... tomorrow is my birthday, and now I can go ride with the boys.....
I'll get better photos when I pop it off...... Looks like I no longer need the alloy tank........
Thanks again guys!!!!!

Is there a difference between the CRF250R and the CRF250X fuel tank.
I thought they were exactly the same, if there is a diff what is it.
BTW Bob that was a very tidy build for sure. regardless of how clean the donor was, it is more about the workmanship that went into building the bike, BRILLIANT.
