I picked up a 2004 CRF 450R complete bike that's stuck in 3rd gear. It runs great but I got it to swap my 96 motor into because I want a modern chassis for the motor and I'm going to sell the crf motor and cr500 chassis to pay for it all. I see the frame kits on ebay for rails and mounts and I see the kit for crf250 which have airbox item.

Airbox

Can I use the Y from this kit to make it easier?

I've got a few things on the way like a new engine jig, ordered the air boot from a 99 250 and a already modified oversized tank.
I'm hoping to document this build and hopefully make it repeatable

Jerc's adapter plate with the CR250 boot will do the trick!

Update,
After trying for several months to get the title issue squared away I purchased a frame on ebay this week so I'm hoping to get this started. I'm going to have a lot of parts to sell to offset some of the cost.

I'm back on track. Between dealing with military orders and back injury I just put things on hold till I could figure out a few things. I've finally made the first few cuts and now there's no going back. I'm debating now how I'll be proceeding on the Y section and head stay. I'll post some picture later with progress and thoughts so I can bounce ideas.
