I've had a few requests for engine jigs, so I'm going to knock a few out. I have no idea where the collars went in the move as I threw a bunch of shit away and have a feeling those went with it!

Thanks guys and I'm bummed I'm so far from the dunes now. I'll build another one next year when my schedule slows down. I have a 2200SF basement I have to finish, so that's where my time and money is going for now. Mike, I'll give ya a shout if I fly in to Van Nuys for sure!

I built this for Glamis and ended up moving to Atlanta with no time to ride. 2002 Gen 3 chassis, 97 engine with fresh top end, new FMF pipe/silencer, suspension set for 230lbs vet int. 18" wheel/paddle is sold. This bike has one desert trip on it since completion. $5500 760-717-1287 https://ban...

Hey Cheez, looks like I'm moving out your way in the next few months so I'll be asking you about what tracks are 500 worthy!

Nice job! I'm up for a Glamis day ride as soon as I get back from this trip from hell!

That's bitchen! Nice job.

Thanks! I hid that ugly welding pretty well. You will have it sooner than later if I break it though!!

You coming to dumont in 2 weeks?

I'd love to, but it looks like I'm flying a trip to China then.

If you don't mind me asking, who did your numberplate backgrounds? I really like those - simple and clean. www.factorybacking.com I got the Bailey kit but it came with some crappy white backrounds, so I decided to do the stock yellow. Looks like my first cr500 back in 1985. Thanks for the complimen...

It's done...went to Glamis for a few days and it rode great. Thanks for all the help from everyone on the board!

You might consider buying a new electric starter bike like a crf100 or whatever. I hear they are just right for women and others that are old and weak. :lol: I get the humor but, here's a thought, you might want to actually add something to a conversation from time to time. $.02 Seems that kind of ...

I talked to AJ a few months ago about this and that price you got is way different than what he gave me. He wanted 3 grand to do a four stroke and 1800 for a gen 3. This included frame, headstay, both Rads moded, brake lever mod, pipe and silencer. Pretty sure that 12 to 15 does not include anythin...

Looks great! PM sent

I have had mine in and out a few times with the jug on it still, no exhaust flange. I lay it on it's side and rotate it into position from the left. It takes a little patience, but it will go in just fine.

I haven't had a chance to knock any of them out yet, but I'll let ya know when I do....probably after new years.

Mik329 Shoot me an email and I'll see if I can help you with the rims

Thanks Mike, I actually found one at Rocky Mtn and they even had spokes in stock, so it's on the way.

Hard Anodize :cool: Yeah that's an 18 inch wheel and a 20" on the front. That 20 is going to be great in the dunes. I'm having a hell of a time trying to track down an 18" rim and spokes to lace up my extra hub with. My in at Excel does not even know when they are coming in as the demand ...

Freaking perfect!!! Let us know when you get all set up for a Gen 3 and I'll tear mine down and bring you the frame...

As long as it holds, I wouldn't give the welds a second thought. By the time you get the pipe on, you're not going to see much of the Y anyway. What thickness of material did he use to box in the top of the Y? I think I like that better than the bat wings. Good job. :cool: A guy of by Lake Elsinore...

I got the frame back yesterday so here it is in this new post rather than hi-jacking Crackers thread further. I think the fabrication turned out good and I'm happy with how the top of the Y is reinforced. I'm not real happy with how the welds look though, so I might look into fixing that after run i...
