[factoryX]

now you did see the other thread where sombody did this right? he had to mess with the rake, and also used a trx450r swing arm.

[xmode]

yes i know that...i saw all the work of jason...mine will be a litle deferent from jason...you will see in next pics...

[factoryX]

sweet, post these pics!

[Aka_am]

Awesome!! Saving all the pics, take lots! I got 800 saved up so I can do this. :D

[xmode]

factoryX I WILL POST THEM AS SOON AS I TAKE THEM...THIS DAYS I AM MAKING THE FRONT FORKS BASES.(TRIPLES)?

[xmode]

THIS IS MY SUBFRAME FROM EBAY.....


http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv11/anttrogadas/75b5_1.jpg

[The Goat]

are those the lonestar billet hubs? if so, how tightly do they fit to the axle...I've heard some reports they are slightly loose, which leads to spline failure...

looking good so far...get the whole frame polished when done.

[atc500x]

I 've heard the same thing,a friend install them on a 400ex and axle nut was always loose and cut the cutterpin.heck this if you want to keep your wheels.

[xmode]

THE billet hubs ARE G FORCE AND THEY FIT VERY TIGHTLY TO THE AXCEL...SO TIGHTLY THAT IT IS DIFICULT TO PUT THEM IN....

[300rman]

hmm, nice project.....but a 500 would look WAYY better in that chassis ;)

[xmode]

What Do You Mean With That?

[SYKO]

What Do You Mean With That?

HE could meen like a service honda AF500 conversion (cr500 motor) but thats a better conversion when smashed into a cr250 frame not the 450 frame.

[xmode]

but i have the crf450 motor...there is no reason to put a cr 500 motor....

[factoryX]

It would be cool to see a 500 in there, but there is no point in locating and buying another motor... Have a swinger yet?

[The Goat]

And the two stroke bias continues to rear it's ugly head...

You're doing a fine job and that 450rx will spank most bikes.

[atctim]

hmm, nice project.....but a 500 would look WAYY better in that chassis ;)


And the two stroke bias continues to rear it's ugly head...

You're doing a fine job and that 450rx will spank most bikes.

I just can't understand the 2 stroke bias. I like 2 strokes as much as the next guy - but once you have a 450 4 stroke trike - you understand usable power put to the ground vs wheel spin. I have a 500cc 2 stroke trike also - and I can honestly say I can turn way faster track times on the 450 - let alone the composure you can maintain on the trails.

I look forward to seeing this 4 stroke build continue. Nice work thus far - keep it up!

[The Goat]

even still, if I ever hit a winning lotto ticket, you're gonna be one of the first people I call. I want that 500.

[xmode]

It would be cool to see a 500 in there, but there is no point in locating and buying another motor... Have a swinger yet?

My swinger is stuck into Customs for a lot of days now but i think i will have it this days.....

I will post fotos as soon as i do some progress...

[factoryX]

okay, what have you done for a swinger, on the other thread they used a 03 trx450r swinger it bolted right up..

[xmode]

i will use the 05 trx450r swinger....

[Jason Hall]

Lookin good xmode :beer

[SYKO]

i like it! did you put rake in the tripples? kinda looks like you did ( mean took out rake)

[johnny's X]

nice looking ride. Almost makes me think about changing my 350x convertion into this type of build

[xmode]

Thanks guys....

what is rake?
sorry for my english....

[sandpuppi101]

i like it! did you put rake in the tripples? kinda looks like you did ( mean took out rake)

Kinda look's like it to me also Syko.That machine's looking tite..

[Brad200X]

Thanks guys....

what is rake?
sorry for my english....

Do you speak Italian or Greek? Either way:

Rake è l'angolo che le forcelle anteriori sono a terra. Più rastrello significa che le forcelle sono più parallela al pavimento e rastrello meno significa più perpendicolare.

Είναι η γωνία κλίσης του ότι οι περόνες είναι προς το έδαφος. Περισσότερα γκανιότα σημαίνει ότι τα πιρούνια είναι πιο παράλληλο με το έδαφος και λιγότερο γκανιότα σημαίνει πιο κάθετο

Hope this is right, I don't think google translate is that accurate.

[Derrick Adams]

I dont think he changed the rake. Pretty sure the 05 and up CRF has a real tight steering stem angle, which explains why Jason has one hanging on his wall in the shop. lol Looks perfect for a trike! Great job so far!!!

[ATC-Eric]

Looks great man. Keep up the good work!

[xmode]

thanks guys....i didnt changed the rake....it is in its original possition...

[riverrat]

Nice job there. Good luck and keep it going, hope you found a place to keep your projects.

[Jason Hall]

Xmode, your frame Is a 02-04. The 05 frame has a different front engine mount, the bolt goes straight through the frame without mounting plate's. The reason It looks like he built negative rake Into his triple's Is because the CRF fork tubes are smaller In diameter at the top triple than they are at the bottom one. He Is setting his up In the beginning with the axle leading, so as long as he puts the top rear shock mount In the correct spot, he wont make the same mistake I did. I already had my rear shock mounted, so I couldn't tip the frame to set my rake and wheel base correctly. If he sets the frame up with steeper rake, the front lower engine cradle will be tipped downward slightly, but won't hurt a thing!!! Looks Nice Xmode!!!

I will be starting to hack on my 05 frame as soon as I get caught up on a few project's. Here Is a pic of a 05 frame. They're alot lighter, and have a bit steeper rake angle.

[xmode]

jason i didnt know that it was a 02-04...they told me that it was a 05....

[SYKO]

looks awesome man!!!

[ATC-Eric]

Good job dude!

[factoryX]

those tripples are bad ass.... The rake is a bit wierd though.

[audioworks04]

looks like your planning on using the crf rear shock, any worries abou this with the extra weight that it will be carring? Im using a peps valved 400ex shock with a custom mount somewhat like jason's. My big issue right now, the only thing really stoping me from riding it is that i cannot fidgure out a decent air filter set up and my rear brake. I am using trx450r pegs(move the mount foward and down from the stock crf placement) and cannot fidgure out how to get a brake lever to clear with out making my own. I know that when speedbump did his cr250 conversion he tried using the stock cr pegs and did not like them at all.
Good luck its fun and really exciting to watch come together especially after you can sit on it. just dont rush it.

[audioworks04]

Also jason is right about the frame, mines an 05 and like jason said the front mount goes through a tab on the frame(no plates). Also if you plan to us the trx450r exhaust it mounted up great on my head pipe and all, just have to use an 06 and up trx450r or er water pump cover with a spacer on the impeller to get the radiator hoses routed around it.

[Aka_am]

I'm liking this new wave of crf450r trikes :D Any one plan to get theirs street legal?

[RoadTrippin]

Awesome project. Drill holes in the corners of those triple clamp cuts though. You might get crack propogation.

450 trike, oh man that thing's gonna be fun.

[Russell 350X]

So hows the build going? Is it done? Ride report? Looks pretty bada$$ !

[alexandros]

any news on this project my friend?

Guys i have problems with finding a front tire...here in greece it doesnt exist...can anyone help me to find one in usa?

The dimensions are 23x9.00-11 and its a dunlop kt 731

can i use something else?
please help in that....thanks!

[MagicJames]

I tried calling around and I can't find anything either. There is one on eBay. Not the exact same size but it would work.

[MagicJames]

What is the rim off of?

[xmode]

i didnt understand your question about the rim....
can you send me the link of the tire on ebay?

[MagicJames]

330344547414
Is the auction number, I can't Link sites on my phone.

You said the hub was off a tecate, is the rim off of a tecate?

I guess I'm asking what the front rim originally came off of.

[xmode]

yes from a tecate 3 86' model....

[xmode]

i think that i cant use that tires.....they dont have the right shape...i think

[MagicJames]

I can get you a 24x9x11 tire. 1" taller tire.
Either a Chen shen, lumberjack. Or a dunlop quadmax. They run about $60. Plus whatever shipping will be.

[MagicJames]

I just looked and those tires suck.

The guy at the local parts place said that you could run a 23x8x11 and it would work, if anyone else can follow up on that and let me know, that would be appreciated.

[xmode]

so that means that we can change the 9 to 8 and it will feet?

What about that? That would fit your trike.

Nice job on the conversion, I just noticed that you used a 450x. How do you like the wide-ratio tranny?


thanks for the tires...i will check it out....


what do you mean with (wide-ratio tranny) ?

[xmode]

This build came out really nice. I applaud your, or anybodys fabrication skill to pull a build like this off! great job

thanks very much...

[xmode]

very nice build.chain looks a little loose though.


i will fix it...thanks

[devilman]

what mods did you have to do for the swingarm to fit the frame, any?

[xmode]

i had to do some...many i can say...it wasnt something easy...i can send you some pics...

[MagicJames]

the 450x has a wide ratio trans as opposed to 450r.
Or do you not even notice a difference?

[Aka_am]

Hey, you should put the pics on here. I'm sure everyone would enjoy them!

Damn I want a new trike so bad

[Hipower]

This is a great conversion. One of the best. I find your method of converting to be the best. I mostly lurk around this site but I have to let you know you did a great job. If you can show us pictures with the seat off so we can see how you attached the subframe and seat. Great job, Ed

[xmode]

I will post some later today....

Thank you all for your writing....

[xmode]

Nice job!
Personnally I would probably try to install an air box,especialy if you ride it in water and mud

[xmode]

i am building one this days....i will post pics when it is ready....

[Hipower]

Thanks for posting the pictures of your seat setup. I will be watching to see how you build the airbox. Ed

[Aka_am]

Xmode, great job once again! It's looking like things are coming together quite nicely.

[audioworks04]

What kicker lever are you using? Doesnt look like you had to trim your fenders at all. Also looks very short. Is it hard to kick? Mines pretty hared to kick with the stock crf450r kicker (13:1 compression doesnt help) and also had to trim my fenders back.

I didnt want to trim my fenders at all....so i fixed my crf450 kicker shorter (as it is on my kxt250).I dont have any problem to start the motor...(i dont know the compression).

[audioworks04]

just cut and rewelded back together?

[xmode]

NO! I will post some foto to see...i cut it and then i bend it....

Looks great man, but wheres the air coming from? It looks like you sealed off the factory snorkle spot when you made your front. Id run an outerware and ditch that lid or make your own version of the hrc lid.

[xmode]

the box has holes...but it needs one or 2 more to be ok....

[alexandros]

nice work

Now that it's complete I thing it's time for a good test ride!!!!
