My Grandfather trying to stay alive and survive on a fixed income by eating dogfood died because he got a hold of some of the imported dog food from China. The same stuff that a lot of people's pets were dying from a couple of years ago! Can you honestly say anyone here has died from eating USA made dog food?
Everyone knows the Chinese put lead in their dogfood, sorry about your Grandfathers misfortune. I personally stay away from California spinach, it is laced with poop. They say they fixed the problem, it is also known to the state of California to cause cancer. :-D
It's a joke!

AZracer,
I own a Service Honda 500AF. I can tell you what they did right and what they did wrong especially where clearance issues are concerned. They stuffed the motor in a 2008 frame. You got any questions let me know. I can also provide pictures for visual aid. Good luck with your project and I did not mean to highjack your thread.
That being said, China still=crap!

I used an 06 frame. Probably going to build a second one using an 06 frame. Buddy of mine is eyeing a used 06 bike that has decent suspension and parts on it. We can sell the motor for a good $800 or so and get half of his outlay for the 06 back.
