got my 500 finally (story) lol

Post by kaoskrew173 »

i basically bought what i was told was a 91 cr500 for $250 had my dad pick it up for me he doesnt have a computer and refused to use on but even he didnt think it was a 91 but bought it anyways. well after a 2 month wait i finally got to see my new bike. it wasnt a 91 its a 86 with white shrouds with purple factory concepts graphics, white (painted) frame, purple side panels, and 02 crf 450 rear fender and front fender. so i got on ebay and ordered me the right fenders. and at first i hated the purple shizzle on it lol. but it grew on me im gonna leave them for now and focus on the motor side of things i got it so cheap because it has very little compression i pulled the pipe to find a very melted piston so now the work starts and we will see in the end if it ends up orange again (probably will)

Who cares what it looks like. Just get out and ride the hell out of it.

Good on ya bud :cool:
I'm in the middle of doing up an '87 and could maybe modify those purple porn covers to fit ...sic mate.

Are you sure your bike is not an '85 model?
The tank and rims look like '85's to my untrained eye?
