I just baught myself a 2001 cr250 to put my 500 in. beside the Y what other modifications do i have to do to make this thing work. I check alot of other builds and there arent a whole lot of gen 2 builds. I'm figuring out how to mount my engine. But do i have to modifie the radiators? and what about exaust modifications?.....if someone could list me all the mods to be done i would appreciat.....
If you're careful, you can re-use your stock mounts. I may have mine still. Or you can call Shanman and use a "kit" - really only need the swing arm spacers and the front mounts. Use a 250 coil since its smaller and works fine. Exhaust mounts up fine also - but you'll have to remove the rear mount and relocate it. Radiators may need spacing/tanks relieving. The rest is fabbed up. See my build or JBaze's - I was pretty thorough. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions....
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...
