thats a Tweel.. been around since the late 90s... Michelin makes/made it...

its an exercise on a non-pneumatic car tire. production versions have sidewalls... this proof of concept model does not.

that'll work just fine. its sealed... so you can mount it anyway, and it wont leak anything into your airbox. its a lead acid battery, so it can be charged by a stator once you get one. and its 12v, so it can run everything. plus.. its cheap.... and thats important because if you discharge it more t...

i cant see that from here at work, but a local friend of mine is in a wheelchair..... and used to drive a heavily modified 2000 transam and later 2002 transam..... he now drives a modified vette. it was kinda funny at car meets... we would meet somewhere, and all cruise as a group to someplace to ea...

i'll look to see if there are any markings molded into it, but theres no stickers on it.. its not a "motorcycle battery" a quick google turned up this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049668 its similar to that, except i believe mine is 10Ah.. thats size seems about ...

i thought that was an eline. coouldnt see very well e-line is an external stator. it bolts some magnets to the outside of the flywheel, then uses a big billet cover to house a nice huge streetbike like stator around it. an e-line makes something like two 100w outputs... so you can run your lights p...

look on ebay there is an eline on there right now!! either it just ended, or im blind. i cant find that sucker... lil help? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-CR500-1987-CR-500-LIGHTING-STATER-FLYWHEEL-RARE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a895Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp32...

heres what im doing right now. i have a nice battery in the airbox.... the crappy "25/35 watt" coil, an AC regulator, and a cheap diode bridge rectifier..... it powers only a headlight, a vapor gauge, and a LED tail light. at idle with the battery disconnected (its switched) -- the headlig...

btw, after tons of research, i think the best thing you can do is to put a CR250 igntion setup, and then run an aftermarket stator for a CR250. this puts real wattage behind the stock cover. plus you get the CR250s better timing curve. however, you also get the 250s lighter flywheel.. good if you wa...

if its there, im sniping that sucker.

fair warning..... **runs off to ebay**

flowbench works to tell you the flow. I however only use a wet flow bench which prints on the port where the fuel is getting knocked out of the air, pooling behind valves. The neatest thing was when john, (the big ford guru some of you will know) sent my customer the biggest best 460 style heads he...

heh, i only read the very start of the thread, and stoppped, but i know what slow is talking about... the 500 needs more power, and when you have tires that hook everything, and gearing for a hair over 100, you the stock 500s hit is easy... throttle response is great, but it doesnt snap like it does...

after working on drag cars for years, $3800 for a full race motor seems really really cheap.
i have owned heads that cost more then that.... and thats without valvesprings.

yes, I couldn't agree more, but the point I was making is these bikes were designed as MX bikes to be ridden on MX tracks, that is why honda detuned the hell out of the thing to keep it rideable in the application it was sold for. If honda built bikes intended for sand drags, we'd probably see a de...

ading displacement is not what a cr500 motor needs, it doesn't even come close to taking full advantage of its existing displacement. compare it to a cr250, or yz or rm, it isn't that much faster for having twice the displacement. if honda tuned a 500 the same way they tune a 250 it would be an unr...

I really hate to do this, but i dont really have a choice.. My other vehicles are currently broken, so i kinda need the cash to buy reliable transportation for work. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/d180d9897c5cdbf6dd57d888b70729ed.jpg Bike is a 96 CR500 supermoto.

kill CARB and several other special interest environmental sectors. this would then save several million a year. then kill the business credit system of tax credits for things such as crushing old cars. this raises taxes to big businesses that should be paying anyway..... however due to several othe...

I dont know if a depression is coming or not, but I know "is the grammar is be dead"

I rode my supermoto 500 all year last year and put about 2000 miles on it. No b/s. my daily drivers are broken, so i put over 500miles on the CR500 this week.. no BS.. lol i cant say it was fun the whole time though... interstate in traffic with a CR500 and a dim headlight... not the best times. i ...

A steel case saver is only as strong as the bolts that hold it on. :wink: you mean.. as good as the sheer strength of the bolt... and that should be significant.. anyway.. after breaking a maintained chain on a HawkGT.. ive determined that chain fate is determined by motorcycle gods, and thus, brea...

just wondering How many of you use a torque wrench,is it really needed,besides the chance of breaking bolts what are the downfalls of not using one,I bought one shortly after I got my 500 but have tried it only once,I tried it on my head nuts but they seemed so loose so I just tightened them more a...

will cali ever start doing controlled burns so that big fires like this cant happen??
they do it in other parts of the country, and it pretty much stops everything from getting too out of hand.

ok, east coast non-desert guy here...

when you guys say " used my truck as a pylon " are you saying someone is basicly driving toward your truck, then swerving around it at the last minute??
