Cheers Max,

Good luck guy's,

Grew up in the Top End and always wanted to see the Finke race. Polar opposites to the Kamfari but I'm sure it is equally fun, loved walking around Shoal bay as a kid waitin' for Jason Hill to blast past through all that mud.

Stay upright fella's

Hi Other,

how did your jetting turn out? I would be interested to know what jetting your running for future referance??

cheers Max,

Thanks Greg, I've currently got that set up on the bike, I did bleed a fair amount getting the plugs and the cap but fits with plenty of clearance, just hope they plug give some good life. I have a couple of spare shorty plugs but could be interested in your one, pm me what you want for them, Cheers...

Thanks for the offer Gregrobo,

With the way work is at the moment it's going to be a stuggle to get this this run in, never mind riding it for fun!. 2 day enduro this time of year out in Kal will be a pretty hard/hot slog eh??

Thanks RedBull,

I have had it running but not riden it yet, work is consuming me along with jobs around the house.

hope to ride it this week end for a little shake down to make sure all is good.

cheers Max,

That is nice work asteroid500.

I have to admit I'm a sucker nice looking work no matter what breed of bike it is even more so when it is equiped with a 491cc donk

Hi Redbull500, I got mine from the normal auction site most of us use. I just searched "silicone hose 90 deg elbow" and got the 19mm one with 150mm long legs as the fab'ed elbow in the head was made to suit the CRF250 left radiator top port (I think std 500 is 16mm), the rest of my hose is...

Thanks Redbull500,

looking at the post it took over 12 months, but it is actually closer to 20 months as i was looking for the doner bike/engine. so have had a bit of time to make some small parts purchases along the way.

thanks for looking,

Cheers Max,

Hi all, Just about done but waiting on a low profile plug to finish things off and couldn't wait to see how it would look. here a few picks of it almost finshed. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/71456d5bb4682e516e8060c170b2dd72.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/ca39d020aa7df822c...

Welcome to Banned, great to see another Aussie.

Hi Gregrobo, I did want to run the two outlet with the elbows but was having trouble getting the clearance under the tank and didn't want to weld fittings in to the head, this is why i wanted to keep the head std so that when i get the cash for the Acerbis tank i can go back to the std setup if I ha...

Don't know about you guys but i would be all over a 2013 version of the old school gear.




GO THE RAT

Thanks AngryShawn,

It's the least I can do concidering we are all on here using the site to build our dream bikes, There isnt a lot that hasn't been done or atleast discussed on here, that in it's self has made the project alot easier to complete with out to many mistakes

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the input Bob, I understand your thoughts. It is larger than the stock size fitting but still is only a single outlet and will likely fit a Vapor dash with the temp provision to keep an eye on things.

Cheers Max,

chipping away doin' some more to the bike. http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd511/GUSABERG/IMG_2427.jpg http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd511/GUSABERG/IMG_2428.jpg As i said Bob the fcuked up tank effort, looked easy on your sticky :roll: http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd511/GUSABERG/IMG...

Yeh, been very busy with seeding and the field days. keen to catch up when you have some time, i will be away at the Mingenew expo next week so i will likely catch you on the weekend.

Cheers Max,

always up for a beer Dan,

I'm still in the Ag industry, doing product support for Morris seeding equipment and Miller SP sprayers for W.A. The company I work for are the importers and distributors for W.A and S.A

Cheers Max,

yes it is Dan,

Sold the CR500 and my Ducati just before leavin' Wylie to travel around Aust with some mates, what are you doin' in Perth? still swinging the tools?

Thanks mr500,

The engine has been rebuilt top and bottom so i think the safe bet is to leave it as it was with the std rev plate. Its been a while since i was on a CR500 so I'm sure this will satisfy for a while.

Hi Champ thats me, but must appologise your memory is better than mine, I remember Pete and i think it was Adrian from the auto side, and worked with Craig on the Ag side.

Cheers Max,

Cheers Bob,

It has been slow going for a while!


Will have a pic soon of the fcuked up tank i tried to modify, that should make you chuckle

Thanks Roostius,

Does the the std rev plate really impact on the amount the new reeds can open or am i splitting atoms for no real gain.

Cheers Max,

Hi all, looking for a little advise, i have some new Boyesen Reeds that dont have the thin rev plate accross the mount holes, the paper work that comes with it called for use of the old plate if none is supplied. Is anyone using the std rev plate with Boyesen reeds or are you doing something differe...
