  1. Will post more pictures tonight. Still need to sell the frame before any other part. Make an offer
  2. Sent you a pm, check your messages
  3. 100 plus shipping, yeah they are good, no leaks.
  4. Frame is 250 plus actual shipping cost. Red sticker Plastics are 150 plus shipping Make an offer on other parts, worst I can say is no thanks Frame must sell first before any other parts ship
  5. I have an 03 rolling frame for sale, used the motor for my Yfz conversion. Basically all stock, except for the chrome a arms Willing to ship if buyer sets up shipping. Willing to part out if frame is bought first. Frame is titled and registered through 2016 Asking 1000 for everything Located in Modesto CA Call or text for fastest response 209-404-nine7zero6
  6. Got the bike running and put together. Thought I was chasing a jetting issue while I was in Pismo with it, but turns out it is most likely electrical. Misfiring and dying when the bike gets up to operating temp. Will have to tear apart when I get the chance, but for the little time that it was running, it ran like a raped ape. I'm really happy with how well it handles and I would do it all again if I got the chance. Just a heads up for those that plan to do this conversion, do your homework. It takes hours and hours and hours of measuring cutting and fabricating on the frame to get everything to fit just right. Here's some pics of the night I got everything assembled. Stay tuned for some videos and also paint and Powdercoat. It only has some shitty paint and primer so that it wouldn't rust in Pismo. Hope you guys like it!
  7. Found it on eBay for like 180 bucks, custom cnc products was the guy's name I think
  8. Yeah I agree it needs to come down about an inch or so. The mounts were only tacked on so it won't be too hard to do. Sprocket center should be even with swing arm pivot center correct?
  9. I currently have a stock one, is there anybody on here that could float the ground for me? I've read up on the conversion and it doesn't completely make sense to me. I don't want to ruin it
  10. Anybody have one of these setups they would part with? Can't get ahold of race tech and he hasn't been on here since May. Pm me a price. Thanks
  11. I'll be running a tto temp guage so I will do a comparison between having the rad scoop on and off. If it's too hot with it on, I will cut the plastic lower. I might even figure out a way to mount a fan in front of the radiator if I can't get enough airflow.
  12. Starting to finally come together. Radiator mounted and plastics cut to fit the radiator in them without raising the plastics from their normal mounting positions. Also bought a steering stabilizer and I think I am going to mount it upside down behind the steering stem since it normally goes where the radiator is. This will also bring the point where it bolts to the stem at lower than if it was not turned upside down. Getting a custom upper a arm made to clear the pipes, it will look similar to a banshee upper arm. That way I can still run a different set of pipes down the road with no modification. Motor is being mounted this weekend, planning on finishing this project before thanksgiving to make it to pismo!
  13. Rather than modifying the head pipes what if I modify upper a arms to mount 1/4-1/2 inch further forward? Is this safe? I also found what filters you were using cam, r 1082. The inner flange is too small for my 34 pjs but I am going to try to find a similar cone filter.
  14. Question: what is everyone using for air filters on these? I only have about 4.5 in of clearance from the carb to the shock. Could i run 2 4in k n filters or will I be losing too much power and hurting the motor? (2 6in k n filters came with the bike). Or should I run an adaptor from the carb around the shock and then have the filters attach to that. I think a green ice bike did it on here, but I'm not sure of the results. Question 2: if I shorten each headpipe by about an inch in order to clear the a arms and tuck in tighter will I be losing horsepower or changing the dynamic of the pipe? The left pipe sticks out further because the motor sits a little to the left in the frame to get the sprockets to line up
  15. Started grinding and cutting shit out this weekend. Started by cutting out the yfz motor mounts and bottom of the angled support. Judging by how far forward the motor sits the head pipes might need to be shortened an inch closer to the cylinder. I zip tied the silencers on approximately where I think they will end up. Should be plenty high enough to clear the sprocket and brakes but what do you guys think about silencer placement? I also cut out headlight and front fender mount to get the radiator to fit. Wish I could get it about a half an inch lower but I think I will make it work since the plastics fit together decent. Not sure if I am going to cut into the front fenders or not yet. Going to have to relocate my front brake lines mount to behind the steering stem since the radiator is in the way. Progress is coming slowly but surely. On a random note: I put a picture of a yfz 450 steering stabilizer below as well. Since my radiator is exactly where this normally bolts up, is there any way to put it behind the steering stem and face the arm that holds the steering stem the opposite way? I'm looking to run one down the road but if I need to make any extra mounts behind the stem, I would rather do it now.
  16. Yfz front motor mounts and raptor 700 40 mm radiator just came in. The radiator is a tightttt fit but it should work no problem without modifying the upper frame rails. Thanks for the recommendation Cam. Plenty of cooling capacity too compared to banshee stock radiator Where is everyone mounting their cdi and coil at? I was thinking about building an Ebox so that I could mount everything in one location including hid ballasts and then have a custom length wiring harness made. I might even use a box similar to the Yamaha Superjet Ebox and mount it above the motor to the upper frame rails. Just a thought, I want it to be clean and organized.
  17. Yep I've looked over every thread in this section probably two or three times and have been taking notes on what works, what looks clean, the steps I have to take in order to do the project, and parts that I will need to purchase that will allow for an easy conversion. I think I am going to go with cams route and use a raptor radiator mounted in front of the steering stem. I'm not sure yet, but if it raises the plastics too high I will cut out the top of the front fender and put a maier hood scoop over to give the radiator that extra inch or so of clearance but to keep it looking clean. Also, the current plan is to utilize the stock yfz headlights in a somewhat stock mounting location (might run hids though) but I'm not sure how im going to make that work yet. Basically, when looking at the bike from the front I wNt it to look as close to a yfz as possible. I won't worry about making the bike all shiny and pretty until after testing, but planning on going blue powder coated frame and parts with burnt orange plastics and blue graphics
  18. Been doing a lot of research on these and finally feel confident that I will be able to dedicate enough time on this project to do it right. So the platform: Bought a stock roller for 600 bucks, took all the stock shit off of it, put it on my 04 yfz 450, and sold it as a stock 450. Then kept all the aftermarket parts for my roller frame. As it sits now: Stage 3 Elka LT shocks with +2 a arms and fireball racing +3 swing arm Lsr +1 steering stem with flexx bars blingstar nerf bars Itp holeshots on Douglas rims Used the money from the yfz I sold to buy an 03 banshee for basically the same price I sold my yfz for (great deal!). Specs: 4 mil long rod with 66mm pistons Coolhead V force reeds 34mm Kehin pwks Trinity stage iv pipes and silencers Here's what the two look like. Can't wait to get started next week. Stay tuned for more updates. Open to advice from members who have done the conversion! I know it will take some time but the results look worth it
  19. Hey cam what radiator did you end up using? Is that the raptor 700 rad? Looks like a tight fit but plenty big enough

    yfz 450 roller

    Looking for any year yfz 450 roller, no paperwork is fine. Needs to have at least frame, a arms, shocks, axle, and steering stem in any condition. Preferably located in California. Shoot me a pm if you have something along these lines. Even a blown up complete yfz would be fine. Let me know. Thanks
