2009 YZ450F conversion??

Post by UknowDamright »

Has anyone considered doing a CR500 conversion with a 2009 YZ450F? I have a low hour 450 and I was thinking of pulling the engine and selling it, then getting a nice CR500 2 smoke and put it in the 2009 450 frame.

Just wondering if anyone has attempted this or not. I think it would be a sweet conversion. I don't know how to weld aluminum, so if anybody out there is willing to help I can pay.
