It has been some time since I posted on here. Unfortunately my next post is regarding my prized 02 AF for sale. Good for you, bad for me! The build can be seen under 'Justins Gen 3 build'...Heres a description of everything...Im asking $4500...located in San Diego.

I built this bike in february ...

Okay maybe my response is too late but this is what I did....

The exhaust flange can mount 3 different ways allowing multiple mounting positions of the exhaust spring lobes. In MY case (because I didn't have ample clearance)..and I can't emphasize this more...I rotated the flange to the right one ...

If this is already up I apologize. I was just browsing and found a bitchen photo of some guys airing out a 990.

Finished up like I promised.

In the process of having black excels laced up & black fork guards put on. She'll look pretty sweet after that.

Nice input guys, thanks. So I assume I have the stock aluminum plates? Ive been running the 15/40 rotella and it has been working alright. I did have a false neutral inbetween 2nd and 3rd one time though. It revved to the moon and slammed into gear :cry:

This only happened once though. To me it ...

All three times I have changed my oil since I have owned my the 500 have yielded a grayish tint to the oil. It kind of looks metallic :? .

On the last two trips to Glamis it did drink a little bit of water; just enough to dip below the start of the cheese grater looking part inside the radiator ...

Oh nevermind, I get it. Ya sounds like a chore for such a little improvement. Maybe I'll do that when I need a clutch.

I tried moving the kicker toward the pipe more. This won't work in my situation. The kicker will contact the pipe because the spline, not the kicker mechanism, has a little play in it. This configuration works better for me.

What I meant to say is the kicker MIGHT wear the frame. When the kicker ...

Everything went together pretty well during the build. No major hiccups or re-gringing on the welds. Tolerance is very close in some parts but thats how these things go!

Here she is...the lady in red.

Project Started 1/21/07

Finished today, 2/1/07.

...Not bad for working out of a short bus ...

The only thing half-ass about any Gen 3 conversion is the exhaust, (unless you wanna pop for the SH setup). I tapped a hole in the sub-frame and used the factory 250 rear pipe mount for my rear-most silencer mount. The front silencer mount is a direct bolt-on.

Yes, there is no rear pipe mount. But ...

Here is a good shot of the rad mod.

I didn't like how it came out the first time. Originally I salvaged the stock 90 degree downspout on the rad thinking it would be nice to save the outlet with the lip on it. But the 3/4" outlet and 7/8" water pump inlet didn't match, nor could I find a piece of ...

Only one coil mount was welded on. The top mount was an existing tab used by the servo mechanism for the CR250's powervalve.

Not pictured, I painstakingly extended all the CDI wires. Each wire lengthened 8" to mount the CDI behind the numberplate in its stock position.

Every solder joint was ...

If you're wondering why I kicked the gussets forward a bit, it was to make room for the rads.

After 10hrs. of beating, grinding and hooning on the frame, I finally have it all welded up. The engine jig was very handy in this process.

The tolerances between the frame and water pump and exhaust flange were the most tedious to perfect. Tedious to say the least!

To make ample room for the ...

The engine mounts and head stay came in today so it was back to work. What a bunch of filing, cutting, marking, bending and guessing today. I worked my ass off for another 6 hours today and feel like I'm spinning my wheels going nowhere, but it's progressing...

I had to make one of those handy ...

Yesterday I started out the day by tearing down the '97 CR500 and parting it all out. This took me oh, about 1.5 hrs. Later in the afternoon I started wrenching on the 250 and by the evening I had the front engine mounts whacked and the 500 sitting in the cradle. This is where I stopped at 10pm ...

The extra rear wheel has already been sold. I still have the rear wheel from the bike itself though.

I have most of the bike semi-sold now. We'll see if some people pull through. Really, All I have left is the:

I Love it!
