The FLEXX handle bars are a $400.00 set-up alone.
As the bike was being reassembled all threads were cleaning and chased using metric dies. (To avoid stripped or cross threaded bolts as well as allow for proper torque)
The Frame was bead blasted, acid dipped and Finished with Outdoor (UV) Industrial Powder Coating
I also have all the receipts for the parts and work I've done..... All HONDA or Industry Leading Parts (NO KNOCKOFFS)
This bike is near Museum Quality.... but she deserves someone to ride her the way she wants to be ridden......
I wanted a NEW bike, the CRF450 doesnt do it for me.... This bike is the "muscle car" of dirt bikes... Im selling this bike for less than a New CRF450 and less than Service Honda's Aluminum Frankenstein's!!! Ask yourself this...... If a 500 engine in a Aluminum Chassis is the hot ticket then why didn't Honda pick it up???
I also have a NEW graphics Kit the goes with the bike. Its made by AMR, see the link below (sells for $149.00)

If you need to ship this bike and your shipping company does not offer crating, I will have it proffesionally skid mounted for an extra $150.00 and deliver it to any shipping terminal within 50 miles of Zip Code 92501.
Anyway, you get the idea. This is a very rare opportunity to pick up a CR500 in this condition. GO ahead, shop a deal. If you want a CR500 and appreciate what they are then this is the bike you want. I will answer any questions you may have so please feel free to email me."
When I was waiting for my '02 CRF to come in, I could have had a crated '01 for $4.5K.
