Loads of work went into this restyle, but totally worth it.




And yes, you can take out air filter from side plastic removed (finally)!

2021 CRF450 air box-mud flpa plastic (OEM)
2021 CRF450 mud flap
2021 CRF450 Seat (I used Acerbis X-Air, cause cheaper than OEM)

what it takes:
Custom,scratch built ALU subframe
80% modified 2001 airbox (stock airboot)
Reshaped 2001 gas tank
Modified silencer bracket
Modified radiator-shroud bolt location
Built front fender bracket/modified front fender
Modified side shroud for shock adjustment
Modified radiator guards (2021)

Setup:
90% titanium hardware
Slightly ported cylinder
HGS full exhaust
Hinson autoclutch
Vforce3 reed cage
Lectron H -series
Talon hubs/Excel rims/Stainless spokes
Titanium footpegs - open loop
Protaper fatbar
Acerbis X-Air seat
Silicone hoses
Aftermarket radiators
DID ERT3 chain

WOW!!! That is absolutely beautiful!
I think the 2000 -01 CR's were the best. Really wish I still had mine.
Awesome work.

Damn that looks good, how did you reshape the gas tank? I want to see someone do a restyle for a steel frame cr500

That is absolutely magnificent. Has to be the best looking 2001 on the plant. You have some skills.

How's fitment? I never liked TX race fitment, looks like slaped together with double sided tape lol, another thing tx makes seat go up by alot, question is does it affect geometry when sitting

I normally despise how plastic refits look, but that actually came out spectacular.

Great job, dude 👍👍👍

Really like this retrofit! Do you have any reference material, tutorials, guides, etc. for how to perform a similar CRF plastics retro fit? I'm trying to complete the same for 2016 CRF R, converted to 2022 plastics.
