So now that I have some time I figured I would get this thread going. this is my first supermoto build and I've been collecting parts and working on the crf450 for awhile now. I'm traveling alot right now for work so I have pictures of all the parts and what not, just haven't had time to put the in photobucket so I can upload them...should have some time to do it this coming weekend and i'll post them in a new post.
I bought it quite a few months back and road it as a dirt bike for a while, and they around the road in my development and the mountain behind me. here are some pictures on the bike as it was before i tore it down. limited work space haha (single car garage) and had to clear my other toys out to have room for it.
I was riding it like that but broke it down recently and had some powdercoating done and I'm going to clean some parts up.
I will get some pictures of the frame, swinger, subframe and all the little stuff i had coated. ended up going with a gunmetal gray color, but had the coater do it without the metallic flake, just to make it a bit different, because of this though it's a bit more gray then i expected but I like it!
I may miss a few things below as it's a long list and I tried to mention everything I have (from memory :headscrat)
Parts I have for the bike that are either on it or waiting for the assembly.
-Marchesini wheels
-Goldspeed tires
-QTMI bracket from a KTM since i run different forks
-320mm Brembo floating rotor
-Brembo Rear Wave Rotor
-Brembo Cast caliper
-Custom machined rear wheel spacers for my marchesini's along with rotor and sprocket spacers to gain chain clearance (have great pics of these that i will post up)!
-TRX450 master cylinder with brake wires
-Marzzochi 50mm shiver forks (black)..these thing are HUGE!
-Andreai upper and lower triples for the 50mm forks
-All new bearing for the stem, swingarm, linkage and so on.
-Stainless brake lines for the front and back brakes
-Supermoto front fender
-New plastics for the whole bike (black)
-Custom graphics from dirtdigits (mostly white and grey, I wanted a black background though)
-Acewell billet/LED gauges/temp adapter and sensor/mount
-Acerbis dual road hand guards and LED light strip (going to wire them for front blinkers)
-Renthal twinwall bars
-Twin Air filter
-14/42 road sprokets
-SDG step seat
-Aprilia RVX swinger/linkage/rear brake set up
-Lightspeed carbor fiber left/right frame guards
-Wave racing carbon fiber skid plate w/built in fluid tank...it's a frame and case skid all built into one
-TrailTech 70W stator/flywheel kit (going to run a different battery though as i don't like the idea of AA's)
-2002 CRF450r cam...this has the same duration as a comparable hotcams stage 2 cam
-Front and rear axle sliders...SME fronts and no name rears
-LED tail light with built in tag light
-MT-03 headlight with custom made billet brackets and fork clamps
-Full 35W high/low Bi-xenon projector headlight kit with LED white angle eye from the retrofitsource (their sportbike stage III kit)...going to need to shave some things as i need to gain 1/8" of clearance
-Complete new bolt kit for all the body parts
-Dual Jardine exhaust set up from a 250r
-DASA header system (with step pipe to mate up to the 250 y-pipe, there is a .5" diff in diameter)
-Racespec shifter and brake pedals from the UK...basically the same as hammerhead but cheaper....even with the shipping and conversion rate
-New handle bar combo switch that has....
-Two superbright LED turns for the rear
-Keyed ignition switch
-IMS 3.2 gal tank in black
-Head ported/polished with upgraded valves/springs/seats/guides/seals, and my 02 cam installed and bench slimmed.
-CRFonly's wide ratio transmission
PARTS ON THE WAY/BEING WORKED ON:
-Re-jetting due to exhaust change and headwork
-NEED to set sag on both front forks and rear shock, it's off badly
-Building a custom wiring harness since I don't want to drop $300 on one although that would be a lot easier!
-Cleaning and prettying up the engine thing
-detailing the engine as it's VERY VERY dirty
THINGS I'M THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS WINTER
-new ignition mapping
-Boyesen quickshot or modding my stock one to function better
-Hydraulic clutch conversion
Alright that about wraps it up for now, any questions or comments feel free....although i know i haven't giving you much yet :bannana: I can also try and answer any questions you have on the parts i'm using or where i got them :thumbup:
