$5200 seems a bit steep. really steep. its not original either. its nice bike though. should be able to step into a full resto maico or ktm for that much cash i would think I thought so myself, really had no intentions of selling it. But I must say, EVERYTHING is for sale for the right price! :lol:

LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!

Thanks guys, but it's not set in stone just yet. I'm kinda nervous about firing her up for the first time, anxious, excited, lost for words. :? :o :shock: :D :?: After all I have been through with this build, I just hope all the bad luck is beyond me at this point. :wink: I'm tempted to put the old ...

Shit like that really pisses me off!!! Yes, some people need parts and will benefit from "scrappers", but to take a nice machine like that and send it to the chopping block.... There should be a castration law.

Just for shits and giggles, scroll back up to the top of the thread and take another look at the before pics. It still makes me laugh thinking about all the Niguyver finds I stumbled upon going through this thing, didn't think it would ever look like this, and my wife didn't think so either! :lol: H...

Well boys, the wait is over! I was worried this was going to happen, I think it may be nicer than my CR! I have a few sneak peek pics to pacify the curious minds out there. I consider it 99% finished, only thing I plan to do next is buy new grips and bolt on the new DG exhaust once it arrives. Oh ye...

Much progress to report of! This crappy weather has assisted me greatly, giving me 4 consecutive days off of work, allowing for some quality time to be spent in the garage. I was going to post some sneak peek pics, but the garage is a disaster (as usual) and I didn't want anyone seeing it that bad. ...

7 minutes of my life I'll never get back!

This long weekend isn't seeming so LONG, as it seems I'm supposed to praise my boss for a day off! Sounds as though I might have 2, was hoping to be firing this girl up this weekend, but looking highly unlikely at this point in time, still MUCH work to be done before the engine goes into the frame. ...

My thoughts exactly, something about the old air pingers that makes me feel all fuzzy inside, like a young boy going on a rollercoaster for the first time

Well the "budget restoration" idea isn't going as planned, more like a "breaking the bank resto." :lol: I ordered my brand spanking new DG exhaust for her today, decided I wasn't going to bother trying to restore the old beaten one, pipe is bent, dinged, rusted, brackets missing,...

Finally put some fire under my own ass and got shit done! The engine is complete now, looking much cleaner than before, and should actually run now! :lol: I don't know how it ever ran before, with bad crank bearings, leaking seals, blown head gasket, etc. Must have been a super lean popping machine,...

Life will go on! :lol: I got the bastard off, finally. Used the f'd up flywheel puller, with a pile of dogshit weld to hold it on. The turning point was due to the discovery on my miracle penetrant, "DEEP CREEP", good stuff. I soaked it for a few days then tried the impact gun on the pulle...

I'm ripping my hair out at this point :evil: I got my flywheel puller and ATTEMPTED to pull the flywheel with it. Threads in the puller and the flywheel are now stripped, and the damn flywheel seems like its welded on. Split the cases with the flywheel still attached, as the Yami case doesn't have a...

This is my latest piece of work that I plan to revive. In case you can't identify this beotch, it's an 81 YZ 465. Needed a loving home, had been neglected and beaten to the point of no return. But life will go on, and the ol' YZ will breathe fire once again. Have a look at the poor old girl as she l...

If there's one thing you all should know about me, it's that I'm very prejudice when it comes to thumpers. I'm a HATER

And hoofarted, I must say, I love your little descriptive video of the "6-stroke". LMAO at that one

LMFAO, simple enough.

Welcome - and clean 85! That sure is a pristine example. :cool: Oh, there is one other requirement that needs to be met.... :P Ok, if this is what you're referring to.......... This is my wife and if she finds out about this it means castration for all involved :twisted: :lol: http://i1104.photobuc...

Nice 85. Hope to get mine looking good like that asap. Honda fork boots are still available, just got a set for mine. btw-Canadian, Busch lite? :lol: First off, I drink only "Canadian" Busch Light, LOL. After all it is brewed in Canada by Labatts, not in Milwaukee. Thanks for the complime...

Hey hoons, John here from Wheatley ON. Have an 85 CR 500 and LOVE IT! Somewhat new to them, had it since March and still grin ear to ear each ride! Here she is.
