Thank you, I had called and left a message, but just wanted to make sure it was the right one. Any of those conversations concerning putting a 450 motor in one? Looks like he's in Oregon. I live down in Coos Bay and if I can be of any assistance I'd be glad to.

A frame for a cr500 and another for a 450fs would be a dream come true.

Unfortunately not, although he said he can make it so a modern 450 swinger will bolt right in with the proper linkage mounts (Which is the route I'm thinking of going) so I'm sure a 450 motor is not out of the question by any means.Originally Posted by socs28

that's what I'm thinking, by the looks of it, it has a good bit more room than stock, that's one of the reasons I want to talk. My next thing is going to be a 450 in a 250r chassis, I'd like to go this route, and I'd really rather not buy a brand new frame and then start cutting on it...I plan on going with the crf450x motor so I get the smaller head/cam cover, smaller carb, electric start, and same 1st gear as trx, then we'll look at what do do about the smaller valves.

Has anyone been able to get one yet? What is the best motocross combination in your opinion? (I am guessing 450r swing arm). Thank you.

we were thinking of asking about the 350x and see if he can do one for it, but with this kind of customer service, I think we will just continue as we are.

I don't know this guy nor have I tried to contact him, but my theory is he built it and its very nice, quoted a price then added up the steel, consumables and time and said this is not possible.
I was thinking around $1200-$1500 until I read Mr. Clean's post of $700 bucks!, I have seen stock frames go for $500 bucks.

I would be patient. I'll bet he got BLASTED with emails and PMs saying anything from "I'll take it" to "what kind of motor can I put in there" to "would you make one for an ATC185"....if he spent all week answering emails, he ain't got time to weld a frame.
I also agree with Milner. I personally think he is underpriced on those frames however the low price is exactly why I want one. Its worth 1500$ as long as those welds have correct penetration, however I'm not looking to build on a $1500 frame...$700 though is doable for me.

He said on a social media site that he is not taking on any work after April 1st so he can go to races and rides. He was going to go to the Invasion but had to punt due to work load.
His build looks pretty good to me

Catch me if you can
Why would he? It's a frame, not an axle, or a bushing. If anything you would stress relive it after welding. Feel to explain the process to us, or better yet post up a link where someone has heat treated a frame of any kind. I'd love to learn about this.

Q. Do I need to heat treat (stress relieve) 4130 after welding?
A. Thin wall tubing normally does not require stress relief. For parts thicker than .120", stress-relieving is recommended and 1,100ºF is the optimum temperature for tubing applications. An Oxy/Acetylene torch with neutral flame can be used. It should be oscillated to avoid hot spots.
From lincolns website. Ig it's not required on thinner stuff. It is done on the welds on thicker stuff to prevent it from cracking. On ultra4 cars and the like the majority is made out of mild steel DOM tubing since chromoly doesn't offer much of an advantage for the extra work and money it requires.
