what is involved in building a crf 450 quad?

[duneittilludie]

i am considering building a crf 450 quad from the frame up if any one has taken on this project i would like to hear from you on what your costs were and what you would do different if you had to do it again.

lost of money:)

hn400exracer-i was hoping for a more constructive response than that .i know it will be expensive but if done properly with the right components nothing could touch it for a good all around quad.

IMO it could cost as low as 15000 or as high as 25000. It depends on what products you go with and wheter or not you purchase everything new.

You could prolly build one for no more than $15,000....Figure a whole rolling chassis is gonna cost about $7k,and then the motor is like $3500,then u got all the misc. stuff like bars,rims & tires,exhaust,radiator,plastics,and shocks..That will all add up to about 3-5k...Im currently building a YZF so i know somewhat what it cost to build a quad..

dont rims, tires, and shocks come with a rolling chassis

if you buy a roll, lonestar or laeger rolling chassis they don't come with rims and tires...and the lonestar and laeger don't come with shocks either i believe.

frame subframe aarms swingarm steering stem shocks and all hardware: $12,000.00 www.rolldesign.com shes a beauty, but that is at least a 27K quad when your done.

Best bet, and what i might do: Get your 400ex if you have one, buy an arens frame $1500, buy a CRF engine for $3500 and then swap it over and after you sell stock stuff your only out 4k.
