Thanks. It's tight, picture makes it look like there is a gap when there's not.

Got it done! Took it out for short ride to break it in. Bike is awesome. I want to thank everyone here who helped me out and a extra big thanks to pstoffers for getting me the parts I needed plus all the advice. Could not have done it without his help. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/e3f6b...

I got it back on track thanks to a lot of help from pstoffers. Gen 3 front mounts are not working out though.

Ya, the YZ is a keeper

Some good ideas, thanks for the input. I'll get it right next time, one way or another. On the plus side I have material to start the lawn chair build I always wanted to do

Thanks for the info. I read an old post somewhere by AJ from SH and he mentioned cutting the pipe at the first bend in order to rotate pipe for tire clearance. I was wondering if AF pipes were different in this area. I dont care about having to make or move mounts. I see guys grinding the right rear...

Paul what do you do to make the frame look like new?

Ok will do. I want to get a pipe fitted up to see how everything lines up before welding in the motor mounts. I see some of you getting pipes to line up good and then just make up a new mount or two and others having to cut and weld the pipe and or silencer. What does service honda change on the pip...

I have my crf250 frame at the welder getting new lower rails welded in and will soon be mocking up engine placement. I was thinking of using a pipe and silencer from DEP. Has anyone tried one for their conversion? They list a pipe and and silencer for CR500AF. I called and talked to Tom and he told ...

Adam those engines look great. How can I make my 92 cases look like that? Did you paint the cases or blast them?

Right here! Thanks.
