project cr500 af

This is kind of a side project I have been working on, I Have a 2003 cr250 and Im putting a 1988 cr500 engine in. Kind of a fun project to get me more experience with welding aluminum.


You have to cut out the front "Y" and move it up and out about a half inch to fit the exhaust flange. the front engine mounts need to be cut and moved too.


the bushings for the rear engine mount where the swing arm bolt goes through were too small so I had to bore them out a bit.


heres the frame after welding

hillclimber??

eh, not a pro hillclimber. but I go out to the south hills and sometimes to the bennies in cowley WY to ride. hi ll climbing is one of my favorite things to do on the ol dirt scooter. Update- Bought new gaskets, reeds, wiseco piston, and top end bearing. Going to rebuild the engine.

Better update - we spent about an hour cleaning up some of the mess in the shop so we have more room to work! lol.
