Well got a few more things done this evening. Drilled out a broken bolt in the triples and installed another helicoil. Replaced the shifter. Removed the gawd awful number plate, the sticker is just not my style. I ordered a newer styled one, hopefully will make the bike look a little newer. Replaced...

I know right?!? That poor kicker was nipped and tucked and still blown out like a Tijuana street corner deposit box. Very unhappy about the broken case boss. It runs so good I hate to split the cases to get that fixed. My buddy had bought it to do a aluminum frame conversion, I was half thinking abo...

A friend of a friend tipped me off to this bike. Typical story, can't be started, too much to handle, etc etc. $1000. Well can't really beat a running CR500 engine for 1k so I had to go check it out. I get there, check it out, not too hurtful on the surface. Rear shock is leaking, forks are leaking,...

Hey guys, I need a reed cage from a 90s model year cylinder, I recently swapped to a 94' tops d on my 86 bottom end and didnt realize the reed cage aare different. I'm kinda in a bind and need one cheap and in. Hurry. I have new reed, I'm asssuming they'll fit the newer cage, does anyone know for su...

Thanks man saved me a lot of work taking mine apart, I really appreciate it.

Does anyone have a steely 2001 cr500 frame sitting around that they can get some accurate measurements of the head tube dimensions? overall bottom to top measurement of the head tube, and how deep the bearing race bores are? I'm trying to avoid disassembling my bike to get the measurements. Doesn't ...

Steel

I'm looking to try and find someone to make some CR500 style head tubes for a project I've been working on for a while. Was hoping to have 10 made.

Anyone have a friend who does side work or runs a hobby shop?

I pretty much want to duplicate the 01 head tube only without the step on the outside.

I'll definitely take the frame, pm in your box

I'd be interested in the titled frame. Pics please?

Didn't sell, but honestly I just bought two rods and was gonna rebuild them both.

Looking for a cylinder that's in good shape but on it's last bore, or has liner damage that needs a sleeve to repair. Would prefer no porting work done on it. Hoping to find one cheap.

Honestly I didn't run either of these cranks I got them in a lot of parts. I don't know history on either of them. As far as the journals upon visual inspection they look good as far as my knowledge. The one crank has some light surface rust on the edge of the journal. Otherwise no marks or burns or...

I have two short rod cranks for sale I think they're 86 cranks. One will need a new rod, the other maybe runable depending on how picky you are. The lower end rod bearings are decent on both but the one's piston end is rough. Threads and splines are in great shape. I have no idea what these are wort...

Honestly I'm trying to build the "kit" correctly for vintage/nostalga purposes. I don't want to modify the parts, in fact I want to figure out how to build the kit correctly to the era. I already have a trike conversion I build for the sake of building one, it's actually way nicer than thi...

I'm starting to wonder if this kit wasn't made for an air cool 500, or possibly a 480. It looks to be setup for the 84 atc250r fenders and seat, it would make sense that the kit was made for a bike of the aircool generation

I know this is an odd question but can anyone post up pictures of a 85 vs a 86 frame? I have an old 80s aftermarket kit to bolt on convert a 500 to a trike but i can't tell what year the kit is designed for. I have pics of it bolted up to a 85 frame but it's obviously not quite right because of the ...

I have this cylinder and piston kit for sale. I'm trying for $400 + shipping. This was supposed to be a hot ticket setup back in the day for Honda atc250r's in combination with a paul turner high-rev pipe and a 38mm pwk which is what my original thoughts where for it. I did bolt this on my takeout b...

Changing from trailing to leading axle will change the handling on the 250r pretty dramatically. The 350x was designed with leading axle. Changing the rake and trail, could possibly make steering really heavy. I've fought that battle on my conversion. Obviously mines a dirt bike frame and custom fro...

Swing arm is awesome!

Too bad it's not a 500. lol No j/k, I don't want to get into that argument here too. 310/330 vs 500. People like to fight about it all the time.

I'm afraid I'm a little lost on what your saying. I guess I'm slow. Sorry. haha.

I have a couple old frames I was going to scrap, you can have a head tube, may even have a pink to go with it but no gurantees on that as we don't have to register dirtbikes in Nevada. Nothing is hot so I could sign anything you need signed. Let me know and I will saw it off this weekend. Much appr...

I need a head tube from a 90-01 frame for a project.

Anyone have a bad frame who wants to lop off the head tube and sell or give away?

I never understood why people bother "pressing" bearings into aluminum housings. I've even heard them say "I beat them in" wtf? It takes no effort at all with a toaster oven and a freezer. Toaster oven drops bearings out, I literally put them in over and a few minutes later and h...
