Very nice job!

That is real nice. Can i have on for xmas please?

As always another AJ work of art. You should sign each one on the bottom of the seat.
Nothing big just a little "Built by AJ.
There is nothing like a new bike. Yes they fall in price the minute you sign on the bottom line. I do allot of riding by myself. I like the comfort of knowing I will get back to the truck and not be stranded because the previous owner abused the used bike.
I know you can get stranded on a new bike also but the odds are greater that you will get back on the bike you know everything about. I can tell you about every scratch on both of the new dirt bikes I have bought.
Keep up the good work.

any particular reason for using the 250f chassis? more readily available? cost? easier?
-
Thanks all,
don46
its more difficult now.
We went to this chassis,mostly due to liking the new 09 KX250F chassis improvements/handling.(The 09 250F is all new this year)
i've been doing the very good ,solid, 450 kaw chassis a couple years now,and its unchanged really)
and yes partially due to availibilty.
and in some small way ,also to the ease of selling the take out engines.
a lot more market for 250F engines than 450F engines..
so that makes the project more doable.
( i have to commit to an awful lot of new units from kaw, (or honda) for a year,,long before i know anything how they will go with the public )
The fact the kx250F all new in design and look in 09 ,as well as 250F class handling , is the biggest reason to switch though for sure..
try to keep these great engines in the lastest chassis design that i can..
:)

:-oMAN, that is EXACTLY what I want, although maybe in the Monster Energy model, but EXACT otherwise!!! :-D :cry:
-
Awsome! I'm still waiting for my 89er to magically dress itself in aluminum this christmas :-D
-

lol Mick..
hey i know i guy trying to sell me a 07 or 06 KXF450 rolling chassis...

AJ,
Brother that looks great, The craftsmanship is excellent. I hope the guys who can afford your bikes appreciate what goes into them.
Maybe S.H. should start you a school to pass on the the trade.
When are you guys gonna make a Waggoner/Rouse Special Edition? You could market it as the AC Cobra of Offroad Motorcycles! 8-)
Thanks for sharing your stuff with us, there are only a handfull of guys who actually build these kind of projects on par with you and the rest of
us can only dream about it.
Pax Christi,

AJ, a bit of topic,but were do I buy this bended coolingtube of approx 200 degrees from cylinder to waterpump?
Is it made only for you and your AF-conversions or can I buy it somewere else?
OR can I order it from ServiceHonda?
Thx for reply!

Why do you use that 200 degrees tube???
More cooling or fitment???
On "older" service bikes its stock??

a special edition ummmmm :-). can't wait to to ride it . i think that is a good idea. the WR EDITION. all black would would be nice ( rims ,hubs , frame , forks , swing arm , triple trees ) or KX 500 WRS the S would stand for a little higher fith gear ( THE TOP SPEED MODEL KX500WRS) lets start a rumor that they will be avilable next week lol :-D :-D :-D :evil:
-
stiching on the seat of the WRS edition .WAGGONER on one side ROUSE on the other side and on the top back edge TOPSPEED EDITION at the front top of seat KX500WRS. on a non slip seat cover of course. :roll:
-
You've been sniffin race gas again haven't you...LOL !!!
You're gonna kick yourself in the a$$ if someone uses your idea....then again your buddy Stewart would prolly be the one to build the engine :evil:
-
doordie-
its a *hose kit* made for our bikes,,
and we use it for fitment..as a low boy style pipe is tight on the KX5's..
if your interested in a set.. ajwaggoner@servicehonda.com
K5abuser-

aj you better get busy . i sold like 50 units allready . no money down . 10% due at delivery , then pay 360 easy installments . i am willing to test each and everyone of them . ill break them in easy :-D :-D :-D :-D :-o :lol: :-P
p.s. that is a good looking bike but needed the swing arm black too . aj you build a serious product . good job man .
-
AJ,
See what you started! I Hope your proud of yourself!!!
Now everybody wants one of those contraptions 8-)
When you build the Special Edition Waggoner Rouse You might consider BIGGER BRAKES!
For that matter put a drag shute as an option on the order form.
All kidding aside, Those puppies are the Red Ryder Carbine with a Compass in the Stock for this 45yr old Big Kid with a paycheck...
P.S. I love K5Abuser's enthusiasm... but he told Stewart he babied his bikes on test rides too, I think that's how he got his username.
For Pete's Sake Dave BE CAREFUL. !! :-D

-
OFF -or- Balls To The Wall.... just how I like it!
AJ, you gotta quit posting pics of these bikes... you got me feeling like a crackhead. I'm ready to rob my grandmother to get one of these badboys!

I agree, with a stewart motor, that is exactly what I want, but with black fenders... :cry: exactly... :-(
