Well I dd get her out today, but I was unable to get a way to get the bike to my friends. So I had to make do with a few banzai runs up the street just to check the trans, which worked flawlessly. Being that it's -2 I used a hair dryer to warm up the motor, which still needed 6 or 7 good kicks to st...

Put together the rear brake rod I made to replace the old one, hooked up the chain fired the beast up. The empty lot beside John's shop was only big enough to get in second gear power band before having to slow down. Soon as the power turned on the front end lifted in the same manner with scary ease...

So after a ton of hard work from John with my help, Roosty who sent me a great PJ carb and still not accepting requests to send money, my Finner is running awesome. I went over the carb, John checked the float level and in 6 decent kicks the Finned Monster roared to life. It has never started easier...

Carb needed.
I have not had much luck in finding a carb for my 84. A new stock 84 carb straight from Japan is way out there in price and not what I want anyway. If anyone has a really good PJ or PWK style carb for sale I'll pay what it's worth plus shipping. Cheers.

Thanx Bob. I debated on posting this pic because of it's poor quality, but here it is. John was impressed with the machine work, I was relieved because I have close to 8 bills into the cylinder alone. Poor machine will ruin your day, but the boys did a nice job with the bore fitting the new Wiseco p...

Easy now guys. Keeping the CR and rebuilding it has always been on my list. At least I still have it after all this time. Paying for a house and all the bills because I choose to live by myself means money has to be prioritized. Other interests like buying the Hog and women tends to set you back qui...

So here are a couple pics that I do have. In these pics john has just finished installing the bearings and crank along with the trans gears. Since I've never worked on one of these before and wanting it done right with no mistakes, I was glad to have Johns old school ability in putting this together...

The reason my CR has sat for so long
Ever since I was a kid and saw a group of bikers I knew that some day I would have to have my own bike. So after many delays like divorce and roofing the house I finally got what I wanted. Hell I bought the bike before I even had my permit! https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/5847e368d1bdaeb3d...

Air Cooled rebuild
Finally after a few years of sitting in pieces I am rebuilding my 84. A good friend of mine got me motivated when he mentioned that his Dad used to race dirt bikes professionally back in the 70s and 80s for Honda. If you followed racing in Ontario Canada you may have heard of John Lake. He had the s...

Nice Torino! I was going to say that you should add the Starsky n' Hutch stripe, but I'm to late :D .
