Been reading this website for a while now, so I thought I would say G'day.
Im in Perth, been riding a 450 for a while now and because I didnt know anyone
that owned a CR500 to try, I just went and bought one. Thing is a bit rough but the motor was sweet.
In the proccess of converting it into a 02 CR250 frame and using alot
of info from you guys to help me along.
Hopefully it will be finished by Chrissy, but I aint got my fingers crossed.
Most things have been sorted but I just need to find what best airbox to use as my boot is miles off. I heard a 125 might be the go?
Hope the pics work....

Theres a bike shop in Melbourne who is starting to do frame conversions. This was his first CR250 after success with the 450, so it there was a bit of R+D him.
The job he's done is top notch. Im sure after I give him my feedback on this build they will be even better.
I was going to send the frame out to U.S. but stumbled on this guy instead.
Hopefuly he will start selling kits.

xtremeslide, there is more CR500 lovers than there are CR500s in Australia.

That's easy to fix,two or three hundred ships full of 500's will solve it

Hi asteroid500, doing a gen 2 conversion in next few months. Do these kits suit the gen 1 and 2? Would be interested in a set if it can be arranged. I live in Vic.
Cheers Alex
