Im glad you found that crack, that could of been really NASTY.

Very tidy conversion, well done.

Hope the next one comes out as good or better.

Mine was a gen 3 450 with the funky rectangular tubing which is impossible to source. It has held together but I dream of doing another one 'right'

Great job on the conversion, I saw a knuckle get broken in half last weekend, pretty crazy

Is that the CR250 kickstart, if so what was your reason for useing it over the CR500 kickstart.

Not trying to put shit on you, genuine question.
