To all the expert builder's out there and or forum hacks
like most Honda fans I like the 81 450 but they have average brakes and suspension so I was thinking of using up some parts that I have and building a blended 83/450 bike to race, not put in the garage and look good like most 450r's
I have a 83 250 roller with disc front end and would like to put a 450 engine in it (cause red is cool and the 450 would have less reciprocating mass than a 480 thus turning better) I would also try to use 450 plastics and seat.
Now this is just an idea so tear it too pieces if you must but it would look like a 450r only having better suspension/brakes and a detachable subframe (so that when I cartwheel in down the track its an easy fix).
Having the 83 arse end would allow me to run a simon's linkage and olins shock giving a great ride and the disc stopper well to stop good
cutting off or relocating frame brackets is easy enough too. but does any one know if 81 side panels fit onto a 83 subframe
Am i crazy?
I have a 480 that I raced for a season and would like to park now, and like I said use up some parts and have something a little different
