the 04-09 gen 4 CRF250 chassis is the best *500AF* i've ridden in my opinion the new 09 crf450 at best *might* finally be able to approach or equal it? but i dont really think it will. maybe i just dont dig CRF450 chassis.. ive never ridden one of any year that i thought was "fantastic" go...

a LOT better in almost every way !!


except for very long ride seat cushyness.. lol


but then im obviuosly extreemly biased..

Mick, the 2004 CR500AF LE's (CR125 chassis) weighed basically the same as the 2004 CR500AF (Cr250 chassis) the 2002-2004 CR250 or CR125 is essentially the same chassis and shares most psrts body work/rads .. subframe seat etc. susp is a wash in weight so is the frame.. we laced up the wider rim on t...

not 500 or AF related (sorry mick )

but i've run the AMR bomber graphics on a few Junior R bikes,
very nice and durable.
when contactewd, they also added a SH logo and some other special things in quick time..
very good customer service.

a thumbs up here.

redrocket- and shanman.. hard to tell from the pic.. bu t American Honda /HRC built a 1999 500AF bike for stefen everts to race in his home GP in belgium at the end of the 99? season.. (his season was over in the 250GP's) He won it 1-1 AH/HRC had contacted me to build it.. they had one of my bikes a...

Shannon,
could be? I know rick has done all kinds of stuff for sure, ,but my guess is that bike was a bit later.

shannon, unless its bruce zimmermans , it wouldnt be.? who built that bike pictued in primms museam ? (pretty sure i built the one that is dressed up like everts 1999AF bike ;) ) G. primm has bought about 3 AF's off of SH.. First conversion bike ,that was called a CR500AF , 1998 https://bannedcr500r...

Q500- its my guess that why HRC was rolling his eyes..? they dint build the bike as a product, to sell. it was not a commericailly availible product marketed and sold under thier name. no ads, no model like that, nor did they apply or register it, or want to.. it a facial tissue company made some pr...

bob, good idea. we actually offer anything oem or aftermarket that a customer wants to spec. we just dont have everything on the options page,there's just way to much out there to list? but i agree the lowered footpegs are something that should be on that page .. thanks! its funny, i'm a little dude...

not surprisingly, its been a natural progression and refinement from Honda thru the frame gens. Each is overall a bit better than the one before. Some steps were leaps, some where less drastic, but still noticable improvements. all handle better ,and feel lighter than a steelie. a gen 2 is quite an ...

ported. All the parts build a new CR500 engine run about $3400 (most people will pay far more if buying all the parts) a new bike costs how much? (.donor ) now add in pipe silencer and all parts you need to do theconcversion (new) you are at 9 K real fast . but you can sell th eengine and a few piec...

ISBB- i do understandwhere you are coming from. 9.5k is far different than 16K, which was my whole point? 9.5K vs 6 or 7K for a CRF450R? is certainly more expensive. ( but get back to me on resale value of the 450,,and i'd say we are pretty even? ) but idont think we should debate that any bike buil...

nice job! it looks good for sure! just some random on the kicker position in gen 3's, as mentioned by others,, you'll find that there are index marks on the rachet gear and on the shaft. those should be aligned. you can try other positions for clearence, but odds are the best postion is goint to end...

A new stock SH bikes pricing isnt 16K and at 1800 , a build assemble it yourself "conversion kit" is reasonably priced. now IF, you want to take ONE extreeme example of a customer of mine that wanted all kinds of bling,expensive coatings, as well as 3K in Ti parts,, as representative of SH...

I want something cost effective, S/H can keep the $16.5 k market all sewn up for themselves :shock: a brand new SH CR500AF is $9,500. a complete *conversion kit*, when supplying me yoiur franme, pipe silenccer all parts needed and already modfied , is $1,800 (includes shipping costs back to you) do...

exnav- I have put together that list before..(on a few forums) i'll try to do so soon here. an dpost in a nother thread, i'm siure lots of guys have input on other chassis as well? but essentially its much as Shannon stated, each generation is a bit better. in some gens/years its dramaticly better, ...

bob, no biggie at all.. written words dont always convey everything well. (ESPECIALLY MY TYPING ) it was just a light hearted jab at you,for heckling me over "drama" in the other thread.. if mikes out to tackle all that long list,.. i see nothing but positives.. thats a large list covering...

Bob, The post was dramatic.. (bam ! CRASH!, BOOM!POW! ) i pointed that out. (since you chided me for atraction to drama in another thread, i was joking back.. talk about being overly sensitive?) nowhere did i say , or imply , that your post was directed at me in anyway. I simply asked you why you ar...

Bob- dispute? by a few folks that dont understand IP law,, but if they ever contacted an attorney to find out , they would be put striaght. so it's very VERY little dispute? other than on a few random net forums? That particular SH trademark was applied for long ago. when you know the process, what ...

why the attraction to drama bob?

bob stated I understand Trademark Law perfectly. I understand the concept that your "Trademark", while un-registered, is valid and defendable in the eye of the courts. we agree, in concept if not particulars. and as such why dint you inform the original poster he was silly to be "piss...

bob, again you only post what you understand, and thats not much of IP trademark law. you think it must be registered.. and the "tm" by it. to count. that is not accurate. also you d onot understand th eapplication process or whe nth elitt eTM or R is issued an dwhy. find out ,and THEN deb...

brit lol man,, take what shots you can bro.. it was on page 2..specifically about my stuff. i just glanced thru the ones with service honda or others of interest.... thats would be strange to do eh? at the very least the subject is something i should have true interest in. the original poster cant e...

We live by the 2-stroke, we breath the mixture, we ride the ultimate and we honour all that is given to us between the palm and feet. However, one thing that really pisses me off is the so-called trademark of the name "CR500AF" name. the main point here would be..seriously, why on earth w...

sabre -invited out to all of them,,but no couldnt make it to all..though i would have liked to, thats for sure! ive seen a lot of practice jumps , and youd be surprised just how many times these guys have gone that far before an official record attempt , with the guiness guys present .. (lots of rul...
