Well, I'd hoped this day would never come, and sorry if this may be posted in the wrong section, but it's looking like I may be selling a bike. Is it too bold of a question to see what folks think it may be worth if I throw it out on the market? It’s a 2003 CR250 frame, with a 2001 CR500 motor. I’ve...

Can we still get Sudco products at a discount? I called a few days ago, and it sounds like that John isn't there any longer. Bob, are you still involved in ordering? I sent a PM, but you may be busy, and the heat is starting to break over here in Phoenix so I'm thinking its time for an upgrade. Than...

For what it's worth, I spent a number of hours running around different shops to find throttle and clutch cables with the correct ends on them to give me a few more inches, with not much luck. Check out Motion Pro's website and you can order custom ones. I didn't think the price was too bad ($35 eac...

I didn't even know they still had them available, but I've since seen them on Rocky Mountain. UNI makes them. I've had those things laying around for probably 12 years in an old gear bag and stumbled across them hiding in one of the pockets and figured WTF, I'll pop a few holes in the airbox. I can ...

around $350 to build the tank. I knew the only way to maximize that size was to do something custom. I figured an IMS was around $250 new, and I'd probably be f'ing up the deformation of a plastic tank. I guess I was okay paying extra for the bling and knowing I could carry just as much gas as my bu...

I had some updates I thought I'd pass along. cryzsurfer got me inspired, at least enough to pursue having it built. Yours looks sweet by the way! What you built was really what I was originally after, but one time out of running out of gas with the stock capacity, and I had to make it bigger. I don'...

I read through the posts and my primitive caveman brain is confused. Is it this weekend (4th, 5th, 6th) or next weekend? I thought I saw Bob say he was heading out there the 11th, and I hear there's racings out there (Boulders) this weekend. Just looking for some clarification.

I guess I should have chosen my words a little more carefully. Wasn't trying to suggest that Shanman would "give" away, as in free, for this info. I just seem to remember he'd done all the leg work that someone is talking of doing again now. Maybe he's interested in selling it and maybe he...

Has anyone tried to hit up Shanman? Since he's already gone through this process, may he could just give you his CAD file or the NC data his guy made them from.

Just saw this and figured someone might be interested...

Sweet. Thanks for the link!

How did you thread your bung? Were you able to find one pre-fabbed? I'm interested in getting a aluminum tank made, but it seems that I'd have to find someone to turn the threads on a filler neck for me, and then weld that to the top plate. I'd seen a KTM 690 filler neck for sale, but it's like $150...

If I'd like to get in on the action on Saturday, what time should I be out there?

I missed out last year, which is bullshit since I live in AZ. Haven't ridden this area yet, so I'd atleast better try and make it out Saturday. What's a good time to get out there Saturday morning to get the tour. Is it cool to bring a couple of buddies with thumpers? Is anybody going to be riding o...

Due to a bit of ignorance on my part, I have a set of front fork springs and a rear shock spring for sale. They'd been installed in my Gen3 conversion for 2 rides until I realized they weren't cutting it. I ended up putting my 450 suspension on instead and was well pleased. The Race Tech Part number...

For what it's worth, I went the Gen3 (2003 CR250) route with my 1991 engine. I'm 6' and about 240lbs. I couldn't be happier. There are plenty of sweet builds on here. Here's a link to mine. http://www.bannedcr500riders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=6728 I had a local guy in Gilbert do the machine work a...

I'm bummed the economy is in the toilet, cause it seemed like some of you guys were getting a decent amount of cash for your donor bike motors not too long ago. I've had this on craigslist for a while, but if anyone's interested in this '03 250 motor/carb/electrical, I'm ready for some offers. It ra...

I've got some 1991 CR500 Parts left. Parts I still have: Swing-arm........................................$100 Front Forks........................................$100 Rear Brake Assembly..........................$70 I'm a little negotiable, but trying to offset some of my fab costs. Everything's in ...

Would anyone happen to know how the bigger IMS/Clark tanks are different than stock? What I mean is, do they hang that much lower between the spars than OEM, or is that they just hang over the sides of the spars to accomodate the extra volume. My current OEM tank fit great with no modification, and ...

Another shot at the headstay pic. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/3e8bc339dc8ceb47f12ae46aa5993ab0.jpg No interference issues at all with the stock tank. I'm going to want to try a larger IMS here shortly. Other than not having the suspension quite right yet, it rides very nice. Ergonomica...

Well, many moons in the making and a number of times trying to melt down my credit cards, I’ve finally got my conversion done. What I had to start: a 2003 CR250R complete bike and my 1991 CR500R complete bike. For the record, I still have that 2003 CR250 motor/carb/electronics for sale, as well a 19...

Not many takers on craigslist for the original post, so my buddy's thinking about keeping his suspension and parting out the rest of this. See http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/1235000217.html He would like to move this stuff as a package, so if anyones interested in a good start for putting tog...

I'm trying to help my buddy get rid of his 450R parts bike in Phoenix:

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/1176114829.html

If it's too high, make an offer. He's the original owner and has an AZ title.

Send me a PM if interested...Thanks.

I've been thinking about this option:


http://www.acerbis.com/p150_tank/11250006.html

in place of the front number plate if it will work, but I'd also be interested in an oversized aluminum tank option for a Gen 3 250.

Parting out or take the whole thing. Just trying to help pay for the new frame, fabrication costs, engine rebuild, and the laser hair removal on my back. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/980256283.html The 1991 CR500 roller is in great condition. Cosmetically, the tanks are really the only thin...
