Well after seeing most of the posts on here my project seems minuscule! But when I asked my buddy if he any old 2 strokes he wanted to get rid of, he said no, but he had a 2010 450R he would sell me for $1200. So my next question was, what is wrong with it?? He sent me a couple pics and didn't look too bad, but then he sent me a video of how it got "a little damaged". Front handlebars looked bent, but digging further, turned out to be the bolt in the triple clamp got bent! And of course the subframe was way off. The only thing I really had to do was buy a new subframe and I straightened that bolt myself. Got myself some new plastics and decals and ended up with a pretty nice 2010 450R with less than 2 hours ride time on it. So FF the video to about 1:07 and enjoy!! ha
