Hey folks,

I just moved to Boise this is a great place for a 500 rider. I've been to the St Anthony dunes a few times and love it. Are there any Hoons around here?

Nope,

Sorry, I just moved to the desert and this is a perfect desert/dune bike so I can't sell it now.

Here is possibly another controversial method: my headstay. I'm not feeling this at all... Search for the "Add a Block" method, then use conventional 2 piece headstay brackets. The one you created is a bunch of problems waiting to happen.... Bob, I know what you are talking about adding t...

Hondadug, Which adjustments did you make from our Y-piece? By the looks of it, you made it so it could weld nicely with the rectangular rails? Also, you had mentioned that the attached motor mounts didn't work out so well? We are starting to receive a lot of requests for this kit so depending on th...

Bob, I know what you are talking about adding the block. He wasn't making them when I did this. With that said, I understand the problem with using the side mounts for the original 450 alone will break due to lack if front to back support. In this case, I use the side mounts and a rear mount just be...

I'm negotiable BTW

I did it. The reason you can't find much is that the rectangular frame prevents you from buying one of those sweet billet y's. I got such a screaming deal on a roller I couldn't help myself. I was a machinist and had a buddy CNC a Y. Check out my build.

I finished this bike about a year ago and I love it, but I'm moving over to the four poke world. Every time I go to the off-road resort I have folks taking pictures of it. I have ridden it a little on the track and mostly on trails in the woods. The bike probably has maybe 20 hours since I built it....

I did a conversion with the same frame. As you know, the tubes are rectangular, so the other Y's for the square tube frames don't work. I'm not sure if anybody started making a Y for that frame yet, but a year or so ago, nobody did. A friend of mine made one for me and it is just like the other bill...

Well Hoons, I think it may be time to sell the 500. I hate to say this, but I'm thinking about moving over to the thumper world. Any thoughts on prices? You guys can see the whole build so you know best. I've seen prices all over the map, but I don't think 4500 is out of the question. It's a strong ...

What a buddy huh? I'm always telling people about how people in this sport are salt of the earth and pricks like this ruin a friendship over a roller. My buddies are worth more than bike parts. I woulda given one to a Hoon in need. You might want to post where the possible location of where he might...

I've got the same question. I looked at the Tusk as well. Last time I changed a clutch in a 250 I used Barnett, which I've been told is the best. When I was done I couldn't hardly pull in the lever so I put the old springs back in. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from others on this.

It's actually been done for a while, but I have been working out the bugs. I couldn't get that dang thing to start worth a crap and turned my foot purple trying while ruining my favorite riding boots. So I put on a CPW carb and compression release and much better. It still is about a ten kicker cold...

I reused an aluminum rear sprocket https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/4b21e2235ce6c1639ba2c9b7812f7844.jpg From reading other posts, I got that this was the correct spark plug cap. If I'm wrong please let me know. It runs good but it still seems to have a weaker spark than I expected. https:/...

Now for radiator and hoses https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b183d2b1661626c414ca18d9305a0b4f.jpg left side radiator with spout cut off. I used a 5/8 ac fitting with the end cut off for the spout and I angled it up past the cylinder https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/9316204b6a1a717b5...

I realized I had not posted anything in a while. I have been busy trying to finish my PhD, but I still made time to ride a bit. I am posting the leftover details that I have not posted yet. If I forgot something or you want to see something, let me know. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/f0a...

Here are my rad shroud graphics from a guy on that popular auction website. I know it's not an 06, but it he does different years.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not familiar with the term "squish". Could somebody fill me in?

Here is my attempt at a decompression valve/compression release valve install. My worry is that the welder, while welding, undercut the lip a bit and I'm worried it won't seal. The surface is flat and the head does not seem to be warped but I'm worried that there is not enough area for the seal now....

This is a really nice kit. I was one of the folks bugging you about a 450 kit. I have an 04 450 frame. I bought a 250 wye from you and didn't like how had to cut the frame (not complaining - wasn't made to fit) so I CNC'd my own. It's a lot like yours but fits the 02 to 04 frame and works with those...

Buy this stuff from lowes. Designed to take paint of aluminum. It's an acid so use good gloves and do it outside. Most of the paint will just curl up and fall off. Some areas u have to scrape or use a wire brush. I used gallons on a1950 fuel truck that I think was painted once a year looking at the ...

I cleaned off the black paint from the 1990 engine and ready to put in

Here is possibly another controversial method: my headstay. I really wanted to pick up the side mounts and didn't feel it was enough so I did both. I initially made it a two-piece design with a cross bar and a bar that bolts between two tabs welded on under the shock cross bar. I then decided it wou...
