this is some times why i shop abroard

s/h shows $327 for the crank. you think its $100 postage ?

that prox rod is only $80. cant imagine postage more than $40 if even that much. install is only 1hr deal. $100 labor at the most. thats what they charge over here anyways

I was using Honda Discount Parts.com they list the crank for $361 ...

I have looked into a genuine crank kit it will be about $420-450 delivered, the freight seems to kill the idea.

As for the Wiseco crank I haven't seen one for the cr500 do you have a link NightBiker07?

Thanks for the suggestions guy's

Pipe is from the states, from the usual site, It is the pc platinum, I wanted the works pipe but had trouble finding one for the right price.

Thanks Greg, was that $ including the rod or just for the work performed? Yeh have got the mounts and have sat it all together, was going to use the exhaust that i got with the doner but was a little out of shape so I'm waitin' on my new pc pipe to turn up for the final mockup.

worth a try for the price?

Thanks 100hp honda, I think I will take your advise and just rebuild my OEM crank with a Pro X rod (made in Japan right?) and try to find a good machine shop to do the job.

not sure about the manufacturer of the Hotrods crank kit. I have read that the Hotrods rods are a little hit and miss with quality control and that the Prox is a more popular choice, it is a little confusing as most of the piston feed back i have read is that the Pro x piston isn't very desirable ...

Hi guy's, Looking for some feed back on whether I should replace the rod on my genuine crank shaft (providing the bearing journals are still good) or just purchase an aftermarket Hotrod's complete crank? by the time I purchase a new rod for my crank and have it installed it would almost be the same ...

Well spotted Gravel Scratcher, I should have read the title better, my air box adaptor would no good in the 09 model gen5 crf450r correct?.

ps i still think stoffers does good work

Hi mikesmith,

I have an airbox adaptor from my build, I purchased it thinking that it would work for the crf250 but it is only good for the crf450 if that interests you?, I got some of my parts from a chap on our side of the pond, I'm not sure he is doing the parts any more as his kits (the ...

This is what we Aussies do with aeroplane engines, not sure if you guys have had the chance to see this thing touring the States but it is crazy in the flesh.

Sorry about the link I don't know how to post the vid straight up.

Hi tipfinchy,
Taffymoto from you neck of the woods has a similar system on his Black Diamond cr500 conversion, if it is the same Taffy from the Berg forum i used to go on he may have done something different, Taffys bike looked nice but that doesn't amount to speed, but in the Berg world he has a ...

Hi alcrook26, I'm in Western Australia, a couple of hours north east of Perth in the Wheatbelt.
Are you after the template or the crf450 air box adaptor plate?

More progress this weekend, sat the engine in and starting to work out the locations and clearancing of the radiators, exhaust and airbox boot.

Hi everyone, just gettin' started with my conversion, it's been a little slow to start with but I'm slowly getting the parts together. Thanks to Bean and Paul Stoffers for the rails and mounts

The doner, 1991 cr500 picked it up from the local trading post.

Cheers Gregrobo,

Cheers Gregrobo,
I would like to go to Kal for a ride and I'm sure the boys would be too , It would be a tuff gig to watch from the sideline though ( may have to borrow a bike), Thanks for the offer to do the frame, there is a welder within the company i work for that seems to have good tig skills ...

Yeh Gregrobo you are more than welcome,

We run the motto, the more the better in our area, have had some great day rides about 2 hr north east of town, head out friday and camp then ride single tracks for upto 150 km loop and then get on the juice. have had up wards of 14 riders of varying ability ...

Cheers Gregrobo,

Have been collecting bits for about 6 months now and finally got some cash together to buy a cr500 doner. i will try to post some pics of the build going forward but with 2 kids and a mortgage can make it drawn out.

sorry Bob haven't convinced my wife to shed the gear for a pic ...

Just a picture of the doner for you all.


and the crf250r 2006 model
