Here are a few Pictures of the Tank:

Im interested in the desert tank, anyone know if it will work on my 86? I'm 99.9% sure, I'll double check Clarks website when I get home. Jeff, It will work on a 85' to 88' CR500 or 87' CR250. Here is the link to Clarks. PM me your shipping info. http://www.clarkemfg.com/cart/index.php?main_page=pr...

I will start a thread on the restro as soon as my Gen. 1 AFC is done. PM'd you the link from the guy I picked it up from.

Be sure and document your gen 2 build. I'm considering an AF and a gen 2 would give me a frame with handling characteristics I know and a spare engine for my 250. I would really like to know how the 500 changes the handling of that frame or any other gens. I sure will, I want to see how it compares...

Aluminum oxidises, ferrus metals rust. :roll: Sorry Bob I'm not a metallurgist, I did say I was a normal guy in the beganing of my post and thats why I went with a gen. 1 build. :lol: The roller came with a PC pipe and it was rusting along with the swingarm. Bearings are seized and rusted. I guess ...

I could'nt let that AF sit outside and rust any longer. :roll: I know, I know, Bob. You no Like the SH AF.... :? But I got it at a good price shipped. I can find a CR500 engine for it, enjoy it for a while and then sell it and maybe make a lil profit for my Gen. 1 AFC Fund: New Suspenders, Fund my ...

Congrats Raul! Glad to see its coming together finally! Hope all is well with the family! Post some pix up of your progress.... Thanks Hoofarted, I'm working on the tank mods now I'll post some pic's when I get it finished. My Gen. 1 would have been finished by now if I hadn’t picked up a Gen.2 Ser...

If you really want to run a two sided head stay on a gen. one bike I suggest getting two thinner ones made from steel rather than trying to run the thicker aluminum plates. I ran an FEA model on the headstay I designed and I got it as thin as it can be and still have a safety factor if 2/1. The ste...

You are signer #1315

I am about to start molding the tank so that it won’t hit the head stay. Here are a few before pictures. If anyone has any tips or if they have taken a heat gun to a tank and would do it a little differently a second time around please let me know. I don’t want to ruin the tank if at all possible… h...

Thanks Greg, How is Anthonys 500 build coming along?? He's giving the Nova some lovin'. We are going golfing later this evening we'll see if I can get him to fire up the 490 and go for a ride soon.

Is this really a gap, or just a photo shadow?? If it is a gap, DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOLT TO CLOSE IT!! Get a thin "AN" type washer to stick in there. If there is a washer on one side, and not the other... so be it. Pinching the frame to close the gap raises the natural frequency of it, like...

I wounder if she would let you lay the pipe, while she's on the job??

I think you need a 54mm and a 59mm. Something like that. Whats the combined legnth of the 125 bushing + spacer? The combined legnth of the 250 bushings + spacer are: Countershaft side- 55.98mm Clutch side-54.00mm The stock 98' CR250 both bushings are 49mm I don't think a 56mm would work, right??? I...

Thanks Bob for what I paid for the spacers, head stay and coil adapter I thought those guys gave me one hell of a Hoon deal. I know that it is quality hardwear and for those prices I couldn't pass um up. Bob wrote: 1. I think guys are now using the correct OEM Honda bushings as they are cheaper to b...

you won't be able to get the jug in there with the top half of the X still in it. Or anyway, i couldn't. I had to take the whole thing out. $.02 Yeah I will have to remove the entire engine to service the top end , I am going to leave it like that for now. I can always cut it off later. Thanks for ...
