Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
Another 2008 Kx 450 to Kx 500af build
jholt:
Just thought I would go ahead and start my Topic to show the progress on my kx500af Build. I will try to keep this updated as I continue with the build. My plan is to have it completed by end of Jan but I am being realistic and End of Feb is probably the more real date. SO Everyone enjoy and if anyone else is doing it and Has questions that I can answer just hit me up...

Wow, your jumping in with both feet.
I'll be lucky if I get mine done by Jan 2012 :lol:

haha Well I kinda Planned this out I ride the 450 on most weekends so I didn't want to be without my bike while I built this monster. So I ordered a new frame on Ebay 2008 450 for $250.00. I bought JFAB rails and started from there. I Figured I should be able to just get everything ready and then swap all off the current 450. This should help minimize the down time...
I am currently waiting on my cylinder to come back from Mellinium plating and then I can finish the frame mock up and take to welder. If I was to have this back this week I might possibly be able to completed the mock up this week but we will see. Also as you can see in the other post I ordered the service honda FMF exhaust today, they said I should have it in 3 days this will also help me to make sure that my frame is right before welding...
sandblaster:
Good Idea.
I ordered my pipe, arrestor and hoses from them today.
Thanks to all here and AJ at Service Honda :-D
