My 92 stellie...

Time to show it off.

Thanks guys. There are a bunch of welds and some small dents I was trying to hide with the black paint on the pipe.
I stripped it down right to the frame and painted it red. Noticed the bottom frame rails were almost worn thu in spots so i welded in a 1/8" piece of steel and made like a belly pan with a hole cut in it for acces to my oil plug. Replaced all bearing wheel to wheel. Serviced the rear shock, upgraded to a 99 front end with fresh oil, seals and bushings. Sealed up all the little exhaust leaks nice and tight.
I bought a gen1 af last fall thinking It would replace this 92 then I took her out for 1 last ride before winter and quickly realized there was no way I could ever get rid of the old girl. I had to rebuild her. Ive had her for three years and all Ive done is put gas and oil in it and run the wheels off it, she was real happy to be recharged, not retired!

I wondered if anyone would see that.
I cut off about 3" of sleeve, lost the rivits, welded nuts on the inside of the end cap so you can get a real damn bolt into the thing. Then I cut off the little outlet and hogged it out to 1 and 3/4" pipe. then tack welded the inner mesh tube to it.
It sounds way better than my AF with brand new full FMF!

I love that tire, I use the front on everything, and I use the rear on anything strong enough to turn it, its too big for 125s. They are super durable, great on almost any terrain, and very flat resistant. I think the only reason more people dont use it is because it doesnt have a modern, fancy "metrosexual" tread pattern.
How does it compare to the M5B?Kartwheel68 wrote:I love that tire, I use the front on everything, and I use the rear on anything strong enough to turn it, its too big for 125s.

The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...
