What kind of paint did you use on the engine and did you bake it?

I wonder if the pontoon under the engine area has a air bag to keep it floating in the event of a engine failure..

Nice.
Keep those pics coming.

If I ever figure out what I have then I can test it all and verify it works.
I don't want to sell if I can't verify.
I'll be working on it later this week.

I was parting out a 91 CR500 with a odd stator and flywheel combo. The flywheel is FP5135. The stator is a 9 wire. The CDI is a 6 Wire. Looks like someone wanted lights but none were hooked up. If anybody knows what this combo is for sure I would appreciate a heads up. I have a lot of flywheel infor...

Loved it!

I received a little heads up today from a reputable source (Thanks Roost) that the CR500 left engine cases may no longer be available. So I did some checking around and it seems that some of the major retailers are no longer offering a left case. I also heard that the back orders for these left case...

Wow!
That was quite the fab job...
I'm betting you'll get it sorted out.
Nice work

Did you test all the electrical components with a OHM meter?
What year are your electrical components?

Pics are worth more then a thousand words....

It's a 98

Beautiful welds... I think MPS is looking for lessons
Just curious, are you gonna heat treat your frame?

HRC = Hodaka Reject Club

Geeze....

Man, that turned out nice.
Now... Do a set of cases...
Roost has some cool idea's on that..

Not a big surprise considering the leverage that big swingarm has over the shock. Perhaps a new spring and valving would fix you up... Then again, I'd love to see you custom fab something. You might want to PM others here that have been where your at or, contact one of the suspension companies. No d...

Either material will work fine as long as it is correctly designed. Assuming the current shock linkage and shock is working fine I would design around that concept for ease of design. That being said, if you just want something different and you like to fabricate the sky's the limit.... What can you...

Just curious, what is the main reason you want to replace the swingarm?
Is it a mechanical reason or just for looks, or both?

Personally, I'd clean it up, weld it, paint it, and ride it.
I've done it a few times over the years with no problems.

Wow!
Like what you did.
Thanks for posting.

Hi XTREMIST and welcome to the forum.
Sounds like you have done some interesting projects.
Post some pics when you can as we all love pics
You found the right form for anything CR500.
There are other forums out there but none better from a technical side.
