Glad you made it here.
Built myself a 500 hooligan and love the thing. The ultimate wheelie machine.
Sure you'll love a sumo'd 500 as well.
Good way to draw attention and get busted in the process, but surely a fun ride.
Be cool, and post up some pics.

Re: clutch
a brake light switch would work perfect with my hydraulic clutch, You have a hudraulic clutch? I had one on my CR250................ used a Nighthawk master, a Mazda slave and a custom pusher rod. It worked great, w/a light lever. Maybe your cylinders are mis-matched and making for a heavy pull. I'...

What's up Matt? Thanks everyone....... you too Greg. It was a brutally hot summer. I actually just brought the bike out of hibernation as of today. We just had a cold snap (mid 70s), and fall is finally here. Winter time is the best time to ride here, so I haven't had a whole helluva lot of seat tim...

2nd gen finished........ finally posting vid.
Sound is crappy................... vid seems like it's in slow-mo. Could'a done better but maybe it was camera jitters...........

Seems like a waste, to rip apart 2 running bikes for 1 conversion. I've built complete bikes from scrounged-up parts. It takes time, but well worth the effort in the end. Score some cheap parts from other members and assemble a 3rd bike. It'd be a helluva collection to have a 500 steelie, the 450......

Thanks mate. I like them I have been trying to buy stuff that will keep or increase value and is fun to own. Your CR480 looks awesome! Thanks man. I only made minimal changes....and didn't hack on anything. Since I have the 500 on the road, I've only ridden the 480 a few times....for short bursts. ...

I know where you're at w/the lighting system. Instead of jacking w/the tuna can ignition, I decided to just install a rechargeable NiMeh battery and 100% LED lighting. It passed the state inspection w/flying colors.....lights, mirrors and street legal rubber. Your road/track 480 looks oddly cool. ht...

It started from a donor unit. . http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/44409/2661539680102045454S600x600Q85.jpg Had one of the Acerbis cyclops light kits, but it was cheezy and wouldn't fit the forks......and the low-wattage stator wouldn't have been able to power the thing. The headlight on the 500 was ...

I had thoughts of installing a t'stat, but summer days will be here soon and cold weather riding won't be a factor. If coolant temps are in the 180* range, I won't worry about it. One less part to fail and less to clutter things up. Did you make some sort of pressure by-pass system? Any pics of your...

Radiators in series........
I was to the point of making up my cooling hoses when I had a decision to make. I had a choice of jacking around w/making T/Y fittings to splice the hoses together...... or just connect the return hose to the top of the left radiator and have the pump feed come from the bottom right. That same quest...

Each of my bikes has a different personality. After a learning process, I finally have a routine for the 500. It can be cool in the shop, or down-right cold, it starts really easy. W/o the decomp valve, it'd be impossible for this old man. I snap the decomp, pull the choke, roll through the kicker 1...
