Man I love the 09's. I recently sold my CRF 250R to get my CRF450. I like my 450 but it's too much bike for me. I like to race and I feel like i'm riding "too much" on the edge when I am on that thing. So I picked this up for new for $4500 OTD sweet deal!
Going to the track today to break-it-in.

Working on the door post today. I had to re build it after the suicide doors. So I just had enough time to mock it up and will finish it later. Still gotta trim the outer sheet metal.
Before I close it up I will sand blast and epoxy the inside of the door post. Oh yea, wife bought me a bad a$$ helmet.

Steve Kelly · 05-29-2009, 09:24 AM

on the windshield,the 41" would you have been lower if you went the 1/4"lower on the botom? that we talked about earlier.
Thanks Steve

gottwake · 05-29-2009, 09:59 AM

I dont think the rake would change just the height.

**N2TRUX** · 06-07-2009, 11:47 AM

Awesome project. Keep those pictures coming.

Looks like I will be picking up a rust free LWB for free to start a roadster build in my spare time.

gottwake · 06-24-2009, 11:53 PM

Started the passenger side door today. Soon as that's done I'll be ready to sling some serious mud (bondo)!!

**88JRFAN** · 06-25-2009, 12:00 AM

Looking awesome. Will be one of the best looking blazers.

gottwake · 07-26-2009, 12:05 AM

Just had enough time today to install the latch and make the linkage.

sandking · 06-11-2009, 10:47 PM

Black with yellow and orange flames. Flames will be at the upper body line, real streamline front to back.

gottwake · 06-21-2009, 11:41 PM

Here is a few other pics. One is the inner door and the door post re-done. One is the inner strike, and the door shut and latched. The last ones are the windsheild and cowl that was requested.

gottwake · 06-22-2009, 10:54 PM

I had to clean under her so I moved it.

smbrouss70 · 06-21-2009, 10:30 PM

Spare time you say?

gottwake · 06-21-2009, 11:08 PM

Okay, finally got some time to make a little progress. I had to completely re-do my door posts because I made them a little too square and they need an angle so the door clears at the rear. Anyway, I finally cut-in the door latches and strikes. This was a total pain in the butt because of how the door is shaped. But actually, the placment of the latch is kinda cool because it sits even with the edge of the inner door. The strike was easier.
I found these door latch releases. Here
