450 Honda.

Post by Exmoorsuperstar »

I am thinking of building an outfit using a 450 Honda with the 500 big bore conversion that has the extra cooling. Has anyone tried to do one??

sorry i can't find my photo's of how i alterd the frame, but i have raced the bike this season in the A.M.C.A championship without any problems or mechanical faliures the engine is standard and has gone very well. the main single spine of the frame had to be cut and made into a double spine to get the carb in and i managed to get the same tank and seat unit back on hope this helps, the frame was a 1998 BSU,
