My hat is off to you for hanging in there period.

That's from the heart Jay. I feel the same way!

Fair enough....but I won't have reason to suspect AJ's credibility, unlike someone who cannot even produce a picture of any build or bike after being called out numerous times to do so.

I'll give you a hint if I took a picture of all my bikes you could not fit them in the picture or count them on both of your hands. The ? is how many RUN! that is where the problem is.

SOF.....what's wrong with the Gen 1 besides it turns like a tank, vibrates worse than anything my wife has ever owned and is near impossible to get cool parts for anymore?

Seriously, anything else I should know?

Seriously....that about covers it. My gen. one didn't vibrate that bad though.

I figured out why mine vibrated so bad, I just had the rod replaced and the old rod bearing pin was all pitted and scored up and had tons of slop... should ride super smooth when I get it back together
Coming from an '86 steelie (which turns like a chopper), I think my gen-1 turns alright, but also had great stability in the sand. there are pros and cons to every chassis change... I feel like the gen-1 was built for the sand, which works out since my gen-1 is now my dunes only bike.
about the only real con to the gen-1 that I know of is the lack of available aftermarket parts (body work in particular) and they are pretty ugly with the hockey stick sides
oh, and they are damn uncomfortable, but only a pussy would use that as a reason not to ride one

Location: wales uk

This is the same region that produced Britincali....

Enough said......

I do not have my conversion done yet but I already know what will be on the decals- CR500FE. All of you can feel free to use anytime you like. I know that you proud conversion owners, Gen 1 - Gen 4 can relate. CR500 is obvious and the FE stand for FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!

I MADE MONEY doing my conversion.

They are not expensive to do.....

Come on Bob. You did a two for one... I am keeping my steelie so I had to start from scratch. Some of us are not as talented as you. Now if you want to blow some shit up-or Get your F18 "JETTING" correct, then I'm your man.

WHAT?!

Let me try Danny.

I wasn't a big fan of school, I use to fuck off all the time. I know I can't spell or puncuate. But you know what, I don't give a monkeys ass! I took a little liberty.
