Cr 500 1996 refresh and bling

Post by trinitom »

doing a refresh on the old girl.
she doesn't look bad, but i think a few things can be done to improve.

at the moment I'm waiting for the cylinder that is getting a re-sleeve, so i have plenty time to work on it.

so i have polished the front wheel, swing arm, new fork protector graphics and new swing graphics, new grips.
callipers painted gold, and a good clean.
at the moment I'm doing the rear wheel witch needs a lot of sand as there is some oxidation.
I'm doing also the wiring for road use with battery and all normal stuff as a road bike.

a few pics of before and after:
