NEW MEMBER, ADVICE NEEDED!!

Hello all, new member here. I currently have a 2002 cr250. I want to buy or build a cr500 af. I don't have the coin to buy a service honda (and I've heard bad things about them). I've found other sites on the web (MPS, animal power, 500 conversions) that build them, but I'm not sure about the quality of the framework. Any opinions?? From reading through the threads here I've heard good things about Pstoffers work, but I would rather buy one and not have to hack up my 250 so I can have two bikes. There is a 2003 MPS for sale a few hours away from me for a reasonable price, but as previously stated, I am nervous about their quality of builds. Any help or advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the site and if I was you I would avoid MPS. 500 conversions is sketchy as well.

x491 Paul's stuff is so clean. If you want to keep both bikes keep your eyes out for a 250 roller. There seems to be more 4 poke rollers out there these days though.
wonder why.

MPS conversions may not be the prettiest, but they work. I've had mine since 2006 and haven't had any issues. I've heard people having problems with fitment that just had frames modified; mine was a full bike. If it can take a 400 lb guy jumping it, I'd say it's decent build quality.
I will confess Paul is modifying a frame for me for my second conversion.

Thanks to all who chimed in on who to have build my conversion. I have spoken with Paul and think this would be the best route for me. On his advice, I purchased a 93 steely cr500 as a donor bike. Plan to ride it for the rest of this season while I save up the much needed $$ for the build.
