Hi im new here and i bought my R 2 years ago, and about 1 year into owning it i got tired of pulling the top end for work or having some screwy little problem with the engine (counter balancer bearing carrier).

So about 5 months ago i decided to convert my R into a hybird crf450 quad but i said i was gonna do it without buying a chassi and without converting over to the cr500 linkage.

I was able to put the motor in the frame without cutting anything off the origional frame except the old bottom mounts. I dont know how you guys feel about ditching the 2stroke but so far ive had 5 awesome rides on it with ZERO problems, and i was just wanting some feedback on what you think about it.

thanks.
