I found a sweet deal on a complete 03 CRF450 Roller. I cant wait to get started. Ill snap some pics later this week when I get it somewhat hosed off Its been sitting in my buddy's shed for 5 years.. so its a little dusty.

NICE!!!!!

hell ya thats cool man . them barn finds are nice, thats what i got too

see told ya it was a bit dusty.. dont mind the crappy blackberry pic lol.

What did you pay for it?? Looks like a winner.....

sweet piece, congrats on the find!

bout 600

sweet just like mine it had been sitting for 2 years

Im debating going to ca and getting my new compressor or starting on this thing next weekend.. HMMMMMM decisions decisions get a practically new 120 gallon compressor or start on the bike. Im thinkin bout the compressor and stealin some of my moms pnuematic tools to ease in the work to be done

Good luck with the build. I have a AF in a Gen 3 450 so if u need pics or anything, let me know. I got the frame and headstay done by MPS, but everything else I had to mod,,,,, radiators, airbox etc.....

I think you got a top bargain for the roller.........

Best of luck mate

I think those gen3 450 AF conversion look pretty SWEET.
Enjoy the build man.

Your mom's tools?????

Sweet score man.

She worked on the flight line for 15 years after leaving the military as a A&P mech My dad worked rebuilding bomb trailers and other misc military equiptment under goverment contracts.. His toolbox is bigger but she has a sweet snapon box as well that is coming home with me as soon as they get their new house She has since retired to a desk job buying all kinds of new toys for the Department of Homeland Security. Its weird tellin folks ya my mom was a mechanic and has a gnarly toolbox full of expensive shit but hey she worked hard for her money and got every thing she wanted out of life so i cant knock that

There's an old lady down the street that I know pretty well, she's in her 80s.
She did assembly on B52s. Later on she was head of her department.
Her husband used to tell me stories of his time in the OSS ((secret service/FBI) he was in Germany after WWII). He runs a big ranch just out of town. Some jack ass would mouth off to him and he'd whip out his pistol and tell 'em to shut the fuck up.

It's pretty cool to listen to the storys that some of the old-timers tell.

That's pretty cool. My mom just sits around, does her puzzles and watches TV (and the neighbors) all day.

ISBB your Mom sounds pretty cool, lucky you have got her.
Mom.

G/L on the build! Take that thing over to Danny's and get er done! (well after he moves anyway)

hellz yeah!
dude, all you need for an a/f is a sawzall and a angle grinder w/ a flap disc just DO IT!

neither of which i have which is why i wanted to go raid the tool box in cali and get the aircompressor. I can acommplish both with a die grinder and some diffrent disc's and wheels

don't use a cut off wheel to cut where you are planning on welding. It contaminates the weld, use a sawzall.

You can use the wheel, but use a file on it afterwards....

Good advice Danny...
