Hmm, sorry to be a bit dim, but how do I post photos on here? I only seem to have managed to attach a jpeg, how do I post the actual photo in the thread?

uncle albert, that is the d**n sweetest bike I've seen. Wow!!! When I get time, I will build one. I have not fired up a dirtbike or pretty much anything in well over a year. Poor offroad bikes are abused, sitting and absolutely rotting. One day when work settles dow, I'll have my hobby back, until then, I'll just dream on.

Thanks! I've actually changed my mind...I can't take that bike out and get it all dirty. It's a work of art. I'm going to park it in the living room on a rotating pedestal, so that I can admire it from every angle. If the wife complains, she can move out into the garage :-D

I've got that #49 bike as my wallpaper for about the past year. If I had the 10 grand or more. I would order the service Honda kx af for myself. Just think with 500 motor, no maintance (not like the 450 4 stroke), and the handeling of the 250. :-D

I have a question. Is that long silencer for the 450, and if it is, is it quieter then the standard one for the 500?

No, nothing to do with the 450, it was purpose built by FMF for the Service Honda KX500AF (although it may fit the CR500AF ???)

Here is a stupid question if I may so sorry?

Are the aluminum frames pictured the KX450F frames? Because I would like to duel sport my K5 and over here in N.S.W Australia we need to have a frame with a compliance stamp for our roads. So this would be the KLX450 frame I?m assuming(only road reg frame for 450 in AUS). Is this frame the same as the KX450F as well?
 
Here is the KLX450 for AUS

Here is the KX450F

2008 FE650 (KX500 but with manners and E-Start)
2003 KX500 Scares me! (Reminded me I couldn’t ride well)
1997 TE610 Arm chair! (Made me think I could ride)
2000 CT110 Fun!
1986 KDX200 SOLD! (But looking for another)
1970 AG100 Still makes me 😀

First of all, not a stupid question  :-D

The Service Honda conversion is based on the 450, and the KLX450 has the same frame as the KX450.
