all PMs sent. Ruby Soho your box is full.

Again the price is $45 shipped to the Continental US

Alot of people seem to think this is some kind of "kit". I simply have a couple extra adapters. It is a fairly simple aluminum machined part that has a couple of different diameters. I had a local machine shop do a short run for me, consquently I have a lot of "setup" costs to recover. The above posts pretty much explains how to install it. Simply use a dremel tool to sand cast ridges on the outside of the large diameter of the carb until smooth. The apply a thin coat of RTV and use a soft jawed bench vise it press together. Allow the RTv to dry overnight, then remove excess rtv and install like a normal carb!

But as I described above, it makes the installation easier because the stock air boots can be used without heating and stretching. Also the airbox can be left in the stock mounting location, thus saving the time needed to fabricate a new bracket to move the airbox.

So the parts and tools needed to do this mod are as follows:
2004-2005 450R carb
2004-2005 450R fuel line
12-24UN tap
12-24 bolt
RTV
Adapter
Dremel sanding drum

I got zrpilots adapter and i can tell you it will make the install as easy as putting on the stock carb. The difference is also night and day just get ready with some big jets. I needed a 205 main and a 58 pilot to get my e85 mix tuned in.

I also got one of zrpilot's adapters and it made the whole installation a snap. Makes the whole thing look stock!

If your going to do this mod, get the 450R fuel line.. it is SOO much easier. I fought gas leaks for two days until I got the 450R fuel line.

No, the '06 and newer carbs are actually the FCR model and different. There is one guy one here that I know trying to get an '06 carb to work.

Everyone else is using the '04-'05 carbs with great success. IF I were you, thats what I'd use because there is so much advice and assistance available on EXriders using those carbs!

im talking about my 400ex... its a 38mm carb instead of a 35.5
