Glad you got the pic posted. Is your frame white? I was thinking of doing my bike all white.
The frame on mine is silver right now and it looks good with the white fenders and tank. I have a new seat and side covers on the way.
Anyway, I have a brand new chain slider for an 83 and a seatpan and foam for an 83, used but in great condition if you need them. I thought they might fit my bike but don't.
Let me know if you need them. And do post some more pics. Tony
btw-Wanna see a sweet 480?

he put alot of $$ in that. i wish i could find good quality side covers like his. i have the cheap dc plastic ones. let me look through my parts bin and maybe we can make some trades, i have some '82 parts i bought that dont fit. the frame is white, i like the red white and blue scheme. like the old johnny o and david bailey bikes

The CR480 looks SWEET, I also like the red, white and blue scheme.
Bought a brand new 84 CR500 12-21-1983, with in 6 months it had blue Suzuki fork boots on it and after a year the frame was white.
Honda wasn't the first to paint their frames white.
Actually I saw my mate was painting his 85 CR500 frame white and I went straight home and pulled mine apart, to do the same thing.
He had only had the bike about a week if that.

thanks, it's a work in progress. one thing i do recommend is disc brakes! it was night and day for me. the '87 forks soak up the jumps ALOT better as well. i was thinking of doing an ohlins rear shock if i could find a used one.

So, you don't plan to race it in the post vintage class? I think the disc brake makes it ineligible. You don't need brakes if there are plenty of berms or you can twitch it like a Honda is known for! Just get up on the tank and turn! ha ha ha!

There are some old farts who think they are in a chase but, most of the guys are there for fun. Sometimes there are only 2 entries in a class and when one doesn't show you trophy! Besides, get your picture taken riding your bike in a national. I'm 52 and not in the hunt for 500cc world champion.
Go to the website and checkout the photos and check the race results.
When you gonna post some more pics?

Like a kid on Christmas day, he got up early to take photos but he forgot about near no sunlight.
The bike looks sweet, I really like the Honda air cooled bikes.

Would you like to buy a BRAND NEW one?
I knew of one for an 82 and an 83 CR480, don't know if they are still there though.
PM me if you are interested.
