I had a 1984 cr125r when I was younger,back in 1986. Then I only weighed 135 lbs,& put a 53t sidewinder sprocket on it and moved to north Georgia in the foot hills and would ride the washouts on the power lines. Man it was a workout for sure and a lot of fun. Love the build sir!
Absolutely beautiful bike. I built a lot of CR500AF’s and some 500 steel frames too… that was just about 20 years ago! It’s awesome to see the trend still going! We did great back then but we didn’t have cerakote, ovens or our own sandblasting cabinets… it’s nice to see how far we’ve come. Thanks for posting.
Oh and I should mention that there was no RU-vid back then but I had just started messing around online for the first time. I had just learned of EBay and it was awesome back then!
Nice build! I finished my CR500AF. I used a 2004 CRF450 roller and had it cut and welded up to accomodate a 88 CR500 engine. The bike is a "mad buffalo!' My next project will be a 96 CR250 engine which has been already completely rebuilt into an 07 CRF250 roller which I got for only $200 the whole bike. Im about to pitch that 4 stroke bomb engine into the ocean!
what year and where did you buy that aluminum right side case cover plus the hoses and whatever else was needed to replace the old rotted and pitted magnesium right side case cover. Did original bolts that were on the magnesium cover fit on the new aluminum cover as well gaskets and bearings and the water pump cover? Please lmk I would really appreciate only thing I need to do to restore my dads 1985 CR500 means everything thank you video was really cool.
Looks sweet!!!! I am not the biggest fan of colored swing arms, as I am old... and old school, but in this case it works so well, and this over all bike looks awesome! This looks like it is a 2023 factory edition bike! ... someone/some company needs to step up and start remaking CR500 engines and putting them in frames like this.. they would sell like hotcakes to the average guys like me, who don't have the space, or skill to build such a bike.
That chassis (‘02-‘07) CR250 is regarded as the easiest to do a conversion on because you can utilize the stock Airbox with no modifications to it or the subframe. Which is why I decided to go that route. The hang up is getting the engine mounts to center with swingarm pivot etc and that is where it is nice to have the cradle professionally cut and welded to accommodate a 500. Reach out to AJ Waggoner at Built500 if you’re interested in having it done right.
I bought the frame from AJ Waggoner on eBay, he formally worked at Service Honda. Service Honda no longer operates, but AJ started Built500 and you could reach out to him about doing a frame for you.
Service Honda no longer operates, but AJ Waggoner was one who worked there and he started a company called Built500. AJ is one of the, if not the, best to do conversions. I bought my frame from him and did the work myself, into it around 8k. I’m not sure how much he charges though to do it.
i absolutely dont get it!! spending so much time to watch that whole trancformation and never give as the sound of the bike???.. not even a few seconds of it idling..????? WTF???
Glad I read this I'm not watching a rebuild vid and the dude doesn't even start it up, it's a shame to go through all that effort and not start it at the end
Sorry man, not a great video editor haha. Just doing this on the side to try and help pay for a little of it. Put some videos riding it up now if you’d like to check them out. Thanks for watching anyway!
Das eine Motorrad hat doch mit dem anderen nichts zu tun!Alurahmen,andere Plastiks uvm.Was ist das für ein Unfug?!👎Dann das Meiste schwarz (Gabel,Rahmen,Schwinge...)!
