Grom CRF450x Engine Swap

[O.T.]

Just thought a few if y'all would like to see this. It's Doug Galls new pit bike. Pretty free king awesome.

 

[SLOWREX03]

im having a hard time finding the words to describe how awesome this is....

Does that make it freeway legal? Woot!!

 

[Shaggy]

This thread is worthless without pics video!

 

[redtail]

Pretty cool. :cool

I'm thinking one must be judicious with the throttle whilst executing 5th gear wheelies given the shortish wheel base, eh? :wow

Paging Bigchris to the white courtesy phone...

Now if he can figure a way to add a under seat exhaust to this it would be even better

 

[Beauregard]

VIDEO!

 

[FXCLM5]

WOW, i should up this and bolt a turbo busa into my grom.... naw jk

but i bet that shit would be fun, however the suspension sucks balls and riding the grom over 60mph = death wobble

wonder how safe that grom feels with all that HP xD

 

[jimboFosho]

I wonder if it'll wheelie.......

This is the nut on his turbo busa. I'll post vid when he puts them up.

I'd ride it....on the freeway.

i saw someone one one of these on central expressway during my morning commute. i give him credit for riding it like it's a real motorcycle... but holy slowness batman. 450cc sounds like a safety modification

I wonder if it'll wheelie.......

i wonder if it'll ever need another new front tire?

 

[corndog67]

I wonder if it'll wheelie.......

I wonder if it won't wheelie.

Must be fun watching the frame flex every time you goose the throttle. Just like a crf50 with the big motor or a 883 roadracer.

Now if he can figure a way to add a under seat exhaust to this it would be even better

agreed that the exhaust needs to be mounted different...just not undertail. bring it up just enough to get you some ground clearence for when you do need to lean it into a turn:laughing

 

[O.T.]

The radiator is under the tail. He started doing this thing yesterday and said it should be finished by this morning. He'll just be pushing around a 200mph dragbike and maybe a little playing. :rofl

 

[ALANRIDER7]

The low hanging exhaust looks to be a problem for turning and leaning to the right.

 

[Entoptic]

lol kick start on such a tiny bike.

 

[mototireguy]

Great build but it looks to be quite running yet with some head scratching ahead on where to mount the radiator.

But I like where this build is going. :thumbup
