Will do Bob. Couldnt of done it with you guys posting your builds.. Sorry i do owe you credit for the streching method. mentioned paul as i was thinking of the Y cutout with the hole saw As per springs i have a plan involving different springs with a longer straight section, pilot a small hole into ...

i've decided not to touch the Y for exhaust clearance, it's going to be tight fit but i subscibe to the KISS theory as bearoso says

Now i'm starting to get nervous... I'm going to do the next part very slowly.

update.... 250 frame arrived this afternoon.. first i needed to remove front engine mounts as they do not line up.. I used a grinder with an ultra thin cutting wheel. BEWARE not to cut the frame. Luckily i have an eye like a dead fish. here's the first mount off, must say it was a little tedious and...

After all we dont wanna suck dick around here now ...

i'll take that under advisement Bob.

maybe he wanted a flat sheet Y... too much negativity here lately. Wonder why anyone posts their builds anymore.

i like it, keep up the good work

can i ask a silly question? why are the front mounts not like the lower?

Does not matter now with the 250 frame. Bob I would love to send it away but the logistics and service will cost me a small fortune. I am much more confident with a 250 frame and happy to do the leg work. In the mean time I will search for a hopefully competant welder

A modern CR500 in the making.. This will take a little while to do so bare with me for updates and i will document my build.... when funds allow me i'll do a little more.... First you take this motorcycle https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/773531da57dee0f8bfcf2492ffbd4e15.jpg Are you mad? No ...

looking for a gen3 250 frame that will ship international. I've found one but i'll be deep in the cold cold ground before i pay what price he's asking.. If anyone has any sources let me know please

cheers

Thanks for your input, i've decided to use this as a back up plan. Deep down i know i should just find a 250 frame.. i cant find one thats not rediculously priced, and a couple recently but they wouldnt ship international. So not having much luck.

ooops, i was thinking back and forth rotational

even with new bushing and bearing they still wobble alittle. part of the design i guess. never checked with a dial indicator so i couldnt say for sure how much though. .060 at the outer fingers sounds in the ballpark but like i say i never checked so i could be wrong. that would be just backlash in...

it looks like nothing i've seen before, it doesnt look billet either "maybe i am wrong" it dont look honda

Looks good though.

Done well, they certainly should be. And they are very good / versatile for 'different' builds - as in, making 'shapes' that might be required, for different frames, like 125s with their more angled back original down tube. My much preferred option. I think I gave you some direction / suggestions w...

hey roost did you use the drawing i sent you or did you do you own Whats these drawings you speak of ? PS, not sure i like you anymore. I've always secretly lusted for an RMZ. Now i'll probably wanna sell my 125 and get one. :cool: Keep us up to date on that machine. I will be watching with much in...

i'd love to hear more about it, keep us posted on your progress.

I tried bumping the flat sheet Y thread, seems to be little interest.. I am seriously considering the flat sheet Y. I'd like to learn more, strength changes of angle, sheet thickness "varied" etc. Best type of joins, surface area of welds to downtube etc.. Bearoso has mentioned it a few ti...

Aluminium, i guess what i'd like to know... It basically looks like crap with a little age and wear and tear. That brings me to my question. With cars bullbars rollbars etc, why the hell are they so shiney all the time?... Are they coated with something? Different type of aluminium. Sorry if this so...

learn something new everyday.

whats peoples thoughts on gasket kits, OEM? aftermarket?

was that a gen 2 or 3?

Some of you blokes probably do it this way already. Ebay can be your friend here. I personally was hestitant to pay $2500 +++ for an unknown motor, factor in shipping and import taxes. Some engines look clean but as we all know a clean engine can still be a clapped out basket case which still needs ...

the 2004+ has the TPS, are you running it also? yes i am now and have jetted it accordingly ...but i first started out with the original 01 cr500 carb which it originally had on and was running and jetted perfectly until i put the 250ign on thats why i at first didnt take brits advice on being a je...
