Hello from Livermore
Hello from Livermore
I got this CR500 from a friend after, in his words, "it tried to kill me." Apparently she has tried to maim or kill all of her past owners. Personally I think that they just didn't show her any respect. It took two years of sitting in his garage before he told me to go get a truck and I could have her. So the price was right.
She has alot of good parts. TAG bars and clamps, Excel A60 rims, FMF pipe and silencer, Independant suspension, Works Connection guards and WER steering stabilizer. The bad part is that she has not been maintained and riddin primarily in the sand. All her bearings are shot. Also with her doing the ground and pound on her previous owners all the plastic is loose or broken. She also needs a new pipe. This one took a heavy hit so its bent and rubs on the frame. I'll be starting a frame off resto in next couple of weeks
