Check out Johnnymoto's build "Gen 5 CR500 supermoto" on the first page a couple threads below your build. He is in the Netherlands and he has some billet y's machined up forsale.

Snatched this 1992 up on Saturday for $900. Fresh engine with an hour on it. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/e505fd4f9b79e5e4736954d73f2d9ef7.jpg DSC00988 by fmikhele , on Flickr https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/9d06480074939cd7dec954a7aed6cb42.jpg DSC00990 by fmikhele , on Flickr

Here is DZ's air boot adapter with a little tweaking to make the airbox door for the X chassis still functional. Still needs a bit of clean up, but fits nicely: https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/6905465bd892baa88928a498d080e5cb.jpg DSC00981 by fmikhele , on Flickr https://bannedcr500riders.c...

Thanks DZ. Still have to clean up the plate a little. I test fit the side door and it seemed to work at the time. I've yet to re-install the pins for the door and try it. I will post photos and let you know...

Found someone willing to take the CR500 rolling chassis off of my hands for $500 and another guy that wants the 18" rim for $100. :woot: Started working on the adapter plate tonight for the air box. It is from Dzitting's kit, but had to be modified slightly for the 2012 airbox https://bannedcr5...

No, can't use Argon gas. Didn't really get a good explanation. Argon is more dense 0.58 (Nitrogen) : 1 (Argon), I understand that it is only a reservoir about the size of a pop can, but racers are always saying ounces lead to pounds... :P Also took it a bit further with the ideal gas law PV=nRT, th...

Received Dzitting's kit today... https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/41ec7de654c7f82d2e192cdb40c2c99f.jpg IMG00163-20121212-2002 by fmikhele , on Flickr https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/e27a57286380c11c1897e399b74e3902.jpg IMG00165-20121212-2002 by fmikhele , on Flickr https://bannedc...

ok, ok... I can take a hint lol. If I am spending that kind of cash on a tank (would like to get a black tank) I will probably send it your way for the mod if that is cool with you Bob?

Does this tank still require the heat treatment thou Bob?

Upload your picture(s) on a site like Flickr and copy and paste the BBcode(s)

Thanks roosty... Wish these guys would make an over-sized tank! Is my memory bad or does the oem tank not have a top mount that is molded into the tank? Is the picture shown on the website just a general picture or does it come with the mount? Or maybe lack of sleep has gone to my head haha :doh: ht...

Anyone running this tank for the CRF250 conversions? Apparently will fit without heating/reforming of the tank. Reading that the shroud bolt location on the tank are a bit off and the petcock is abnormally large :wink: If so will the OEM Petock fit this tank? https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/aut...

In the mail from dzitting...

Argon is more dense 0.58 (Nitrogen) : 1 (Argon), I understand that it is only a reservoir about the size of a pop can, but racers are always saying ounces lead to pounds... :P Also took it a bit further with the ideal gas law PV=nRT, the volume on what you are filling and the pressure you are fillin...

Thanks Roosty, just seeing what the options are right now. You have any nikasil coated 500 cylinders kickin' around up there? Also (as you are probably are aware) of this PDF on Eric Gorr's website: http://www.eric-gorr.com/incl/pdfs/modeltuningtipsHondaCR.pdf. More specifically about using epoxy to...

Has anyone used frame rails/mounts from "speedandcycle" in cali? any feedback would be appreciated!

Spoke to Roosty today, really nice knowledgeable guy... Going to pursue a complete CR500 that I stumbled across and hopefully (upon purchase) sell the rest of the donor chassis so I am not out a huge amount of $$$. But I will be picking Roosty's brain in the near future for the 250 clutch/shifter up...

Nah I did post the bike on Kijiji just to see what the interest was... Everything is forsale for the right price, but just like I thought a bunch of tire kickers...

Thanks Bob. Do you have the contact info for Roosty's?

Hey guys, So things having been slowing down recently at F*** Motor Company for the holiday season and I've had a bit of free time to surf the web... I came across a deal that I could not refuse; it is a Gen 5 2012 CRF250X rolling chassis with only 3.1 miles on the bike!!! The bike was purchased by ...

Sorry to hear that man! Hope they catch the wanker(s)!!

SOLD for $6000

Thanks, little pissed you can't find decent graphics for these bikes anywhere... let alone what I had to pay for them from Senge Graphics. Yeh 250 kicker suits the frame better. It is currently "clocked" one notch off the indicated marks to clear the FMF pipe, but since I decided to go wit...

Thanks man... Not quite finished with it yet... the bike is definitely in need of a digital ignition upgrade!
