Looking for a set of the small 15mm crankcase/swingarm bushings. A friend is dropping a 1999 engine in a 2003 KTM 450SX frame that uses a 15mm swingarm bolt. So he needs the early model smaller bushings. Just thought I'd check. Thanks.

The track is 13.5" wide. I built everything except the Ezryde rear skid, that I just modified to 121" rails from 144 since that is the shortest they build. The tunnel is 3/16" aluminum that I cut using a router and a plywood template. Bearing carriers are from a Yamaha phazer chaincas...

The ski is a modified Simmons Gen II Flexiski, modded to be like the new Timbersled ski, tri-keel. The rear skid is an Ez-Ryde modified to run a 121" length track, used some old Skidoo rails and cut the Ez-ryde coupling slot in the rear. The fuel tank is an IMS 3.9 gallon tank for the 2007 CRF2...

Here are a couple recent pictures of my snow bike project. Homebuilt track system, getting the bugs worked out of it, should be ready next weekend. Still waiting on APT cast 38mm. Hope you guys like it. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/537aaaf5dd0620e2d99377abf1ba5a8f.jpg https://bannedcr50...

Pros and cons of turbo on a cr500? Just curious for snowbike application, more power more better. Can and should it be done? Turbo size, brand, etc... I've seen the one on a cr500 3-wheeler, but I think if have to go with an oiless turbo to clean things up, like the ones from Comp turbo. I'd love so...

I know you were thinking about pulsing a smart carb, but had expressed some hesitation. I am waiting on my 38mm cast version to show up and am curious about the pulse system in conjunction with this carb. My riding will mostly be with a timbersled snow conversion kit here in Alaska. Curious if you w...

I wish someone had built it with a gearbox attached, I'd run that in my snowbike conversion.

Here is something I found on craigslist up here in Alaska, thought some of you guys might find it interesting. 1000cc Polaris Twin Cutler Performance Center Engine - $900 (Wasilla) https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/20269145eaec17e448eb34efda0a3e85.jpg 1000cc Polaris Twin built by Cutler's Pe...

You are appreciated. God bless you and all our troops.

Finished my project and took it for a test ride. The thing runs and rides great. Will take some getting used to after being on a Ktm 525 4-stroke for the last couple of years. I hadn't gotten to ride the donor steelie much since the suspension was clapped out, but the AF definitely vibrates less. I'...

Are those polisport plastics? I've seen them for sale but the color in their pictures makes it hard to tell what shade of red they are. I love that look, it takes me back to when I was a kid dreaming of riding something that was way out of my league. DROOL.

What is the best rod to use when having the AF frames welded? I know I stumbled across it posted a while back, but I've searched around the forum and can't seem to find it again. Frame is ready to go to the welder, just need to know what rod to take him. Thanks.

Here it is all bolted together to make sure everything fits before the frame goes to the welder. What is the best alloy welding rod to weld these things up, I figure I'll leave it up to the welder if there isn't some super secret Cr500 specific alloy. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/febda2...

Here are a couple pics of a 2007 CRF250R and 1991 (that's what the seller told me anyway) CR500 conversion I'm working on here in Alaska. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/de550e929cd3c4be81aebdbafe386e29.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b69d733dc87ec8d3905aff01e46c9815.jpg http...

I have been lurking around this site for a couple of months, my membership wasn't allowing me to log on until today. I'm up here in Alaska and am currently working on a 2007 CRF250R conversion. My plans are to run it mostly as a snowbike, with a homemade kit. I've run a Ktm 525sx on the snow for the...
