does anyone know who does gen 4 conversions? im about to get married and have no time. plus my frame is street legal. cr500 on the street. im so going to jail again. gotta 94 engine on the way soon i hope. it's a 05 crf450x frame. thanks guys and : bling :

I'd love to help, but I'm like most Hoon's here, and very short on time.

If you can find a good welder on your island, thats 80% of the battle.

The actual fab work takes a minimum of tools and skill.

Look through all the different posts ....

Chachi and Teem Trouble Mike are your best bets on getting it done for a price.

hamilcrf also lets not forget.

I dont think Kenny has done any Gen 4's yet.

what does hamilcrf charge? no gen 4 first time for everything.

bob you could have it for 3 months

well i found a machine shop that has done a conversion before and if ya dont mind bob could ya email me as many pic as you can on your gen4 conversion so i can print them and take them to the machine shop thanks

Its all in my thread.

sweet. that should be plenty. i sent a pm to graves about the motor mounts.

won my motor on ebay yesterday. super nice 91. new rebuild boyesen intake and carbon fiber reed. anyway i have read bob gen 4 several times and have the engine mounting under control i think. my question is where to mount the coil and the cleanest way to do the head stay. please post some pics for my guys. thanks

The guy that did my conversion was able to use the original coil mounting spot that came on the frame. I don't know if it's the cleanest way to do the headstay but I like it......



I thought I had some better pics of it but I can't find them.

well im on my way to my conversion. convinced someone to do my frame. and got my motor the other day. with airbox and all. was looking at the airbox and boy do i have an idea. i removed the retainer,filter and boot from the 500 airbox. removed the retainer, filter, and boot from my 450x airbox. obviously the boot holes (airbox side) are completely different. im gonna cut out 1/4 inch plastic and fill in the hole on the 450 airbox using a plastic bond and cut a new hole to replicate the hole on the 500 airbox. i will post pics as soon as i find black 1/4 inch plastic and the plastic bonding agent. it's called mat 7. this is gonna be factory as it gets.

Something like this?

no im actually filling the 450 hole with the same thickness plastic and bonding it. so now there is no hole in the front. then tracing the 500 boot on and cutting the hole out. so basicly it will look like it came from honda like that.

cool idea..... but factory? damn man its a street legal supermoto CR500..... what is factory about that? just givn you crap, glad you are going for it, you will be so stoked!!!

haha. good point. well it would be factory if i worked at honda. im getting borded at home staring at my engine on the table in the garage. i can only clean it so much. lol i will take pics of the airbox as soon as my woman gets home with the camera. im soo ready to run from the popo on this beast. haha

not really what i wanted to do but i guess it will work until i can find a cleaner idea. and yes ill paint it black.

its ok guys I have been here long enough for you guys to poke fun at me.

hey man, if it seals, its ok by my book we'll poke fun all day long at each others work, but the cleanest build in the world doesn't mean shit if it doesn't get ridden. the sooner it sees dirt the better

well then you guys are gonna hate me cause its a street legal supermoto. lol the only dirt it will see is the occasional golf course running from the pigs. hahah

hey man, its all the same, a bike getting ridden is a happy one!
BTW I tried that golf coarse thing once on a early '70 sl125 (I think it was an sl). I got away, but it sucked giving it back to my freind missing all the parts I lost, the main of which was the kicker of all things!

yeah my bike gets mad at me cause I ride it like a hooker. hard!!! maybe beat it up at little here and there.

Ride em like a hooker on cowboy payday!!!

hahah your a clown mike.

do you guys use the engine mount bolts from the 5hundy motor or the donor frame? also will a 450r airbox fit in the 450x subframe? or about the 2000 cr250 boot does it bolt right up? does anyone have a pic of it installed? thanks
