    Sweet nice work. That 450 is in better shape that I would have guessed going by the toasted engine pics in one of your other threads.

    yeah that engine was totaled ,guy was wto when the engine locked up.also said that he bought the bike new and rode it very little for 3 months.i was like wow man,that sucks.7k for a bike you only get to ride for 30-50 hours.i think the best thing about this project was that i spent less than $100 on it.and now im going to sell it and buy a mint tecate 3 r 4.lol.

    your fron mount vibrates loose becuase of the design. the bottom needs to be welded or trianglulated to another spot.

    nice looking conversion!!

    I am really impressed by the speed and (from the looks of it) decent quality of this build. That engine looks like it belongs in there. Nice job.
