G'Day, Not Another Bloody Aussie
Posted: December 6th, 2016, 6:39 pm
I am getting on a bit and recently had an opportunity to pick up a couple of 1990 CR500's
I could not help myself as I raced an 1984 CR500 that i bought new for $2650 I ended up selling that around 5 years later to by a KX60 for the junior.
One is in good nick but has a cracked RHS Cluch cover at the kicker, I had a new one come with the bike, I gave this one to my young fella to sort out.
The other is missing the rear subframe and plastics pretty rough so this motor is going into a 2008 CRF 450 frame.
As a qualified and experienced welding specialist I will be doing the conversion, cutting and welding myself, i could not let anyone else touch it.
I will be on the hunt for any tips and tricks, good parts & knowledge so any assistance or information would be much appreciated.
Cheers Guys
