My AF was built by Service Honda. I bought it in 2009 and it was built on a 2008 KX450F frame. The bike is not a garage queen and I beat the snot out of it in the Nevada desert. No signs of failure yet! The picture you provided does not indicate that AF conversions are inherently faulty but that this particular conversion you show cased was.

kxpegger - agreed! I love some of those AF conversions. This one's a good 'un on YT: https://youtu.be/Kk9zAtONO_U
Funny thing is, the one that really stokes my interest is the BRC engine in the KTM chassis. Their engine fits the 250/350 06-16 chassis, but then again that's a SF too. I didn't mean to "showcase" either, just a bit gobsmacked. When something like that happens you can see the potential for disaster and just hope the rider got out of it without injury...

They are not all created equal is an understatement! It’s unbelievable how strong the service Honda frames are.
