Here it is. I saved from long ago when I was going to do this. But that's a story no one cares to hear.

"The rear motor/swingarm pivot mount is the same width on the LTR450 as it is on the LT500....the only difference is that the LTR450 swingarm bolt is a larger diameter so the rear mount on the 500 will have to be bored to the same dia as the 450 swingarm bolt. The front sprocket on the 500 seems to line up in the stock position on the swingarm as the 450 sprocket did. The kickstarter looks like to have plenty of clearence to miss the frame. All of the other engine mounts will have to be fabricated. I still have some other clearence issues to check out when I get some of the other parts installed on the frame.
I have a new set of 500 cases that I am going to get the pivot mount bored out and do a complete mock up of the 500 in the 450 frame.
I got the cases back from the machinist the other day and had to find out if I was right about the engine/swingarm mount....slid the swingarm bolt thru the frame/swingarm/engine/swingarm/frame....tightened it up....WOW! Perfect fit! One down, more to go.....
Found out real quick that the rear stock shock will not work....will have to use a aftermarket rear shock setup w/remote rezzie so I have the clearence for the pipe and the carb. The stock rear shock has the "built in" rezzie that interferes where the carb needs to go.
I also mounted the radiator.....plenty of clearence between it and the front of the QZ engine. Thinking about using the 12v fan on it too.
The airbox will have to be custom made. The stock airbox has the inlet hole (carb) and the pipe offset that is formed on the airbox.... both on the wrong side.

I had thought about doing the extended LT500 bolt and making bushings to fit in the LTR450 swingarm to fit the LT500 bolt also.....problem is that I would have to make bushings for the LTR450 frame too. It can be done this way if one wants to do it that way."
