Nice work! I've never seen anyone replace the front end on a 450 yet, so good to see what can be done with minimal effort.

Can I ask why you replaced the front end though? Was there something wrong with yours or is there something in particular on the 550 front end you're looking for?

Gotcha, cheers for that... and I like your final answer "cos I could"... sort of like why I'm doing my 450 now

I crashed mine and bent the fork. Black Adder, that thing looks awesome.

Thanks Mike, it's a work in long progress but that's what actually makes it fun - you get to try out different ideas and dump those that are impossible to do (with decent costs).
