98Z5V Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Brother Drew, I couldn't help myself. I saw this and the price was right - just couldn't live with myself if I passed it up... :o <dontknow>This ain't a 250... <laughs>
planeflyer21 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Nice!Now get yourself a rear paddle and have the kid dig utility trenches for people on the weekends! If you install a studded ice tire he could even do coliche.Jon

Microgunner Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Do it go gurgle..gurgle..gurgle..BRAAAAAAAAP!?It's always a good sign when they do that. ;D
98Z5V Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Posted July 29, 2012 500 two stroke???Yep! 1998 Honda CR500... :o <lmao>Going in to the shop now and clean it up real good - I'll get more "before" pics of it. Right now it starts and runs (VERY well!!!), but the forks are blown, the seat needs recovered, and I need to replace the cables - well, controls. Grips, levers, cables, probably throttle tube.
unforgiven Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Ape hangers,extended swingarm,and straight pipes. ;)
Robocop1051 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Make it as drag bike!!! No Edge, not that kind of "drag". You're secret is still safe with me ;)
98Z5V Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Posted July 29, 2012 poop, this thing is getting a rear paddle, and it's gonna be a dune monster... <thumbsup>

98Z5V Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 Cleaned it up - got the grime off. Easier to work on this way. Ripped it up and down the back parking lot a little - this thing is stupid fast on pavement... :o <lmao>
edgecrusher Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 So when will it get the fde and od green plastics? That would be sweet. Looks like you got a steal!
98Z5V Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 I'll have it all stripped down tomorrow, engine out and split, and check everything out. Full engine gasket set already on the way, probaby a piston kit, definitely crank bearings and seals (because it'll be apart, might as well start new). Should have the engine back in it by the end of the week. Next week will be new plastics and full seat, back to OEM look for 1999. The 1998 radiator shrouds are no longer available, so it'll have to look like this:

98Z5V Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 I know, brother! - I'm happy as hell that I even found this beast - ripping it all down is the fun part... ;D
shepp Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Nice, guy used to come ice race a klx500 that thing was retarded!!!!0
98Z5V Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 Once I get this rebuilt, it'll be ridden a few times, but it's main purpose in life is to hit the dunes, and crush people on the drag runs up the sand hills. After Thanksgiving this year (my main vacation every year), I'll have plenty of video of it doing it's job. ;D <thumbsup>I'm DAMN tempted to street-legal it. Down here in AZ, you can literally steet-legal just about anything (quads, side-by-sides, etc.). 2-stroke dirtbikes are no exception. Toss a set of 17" supermoto wheels on it, one mirror, horn, lighted license plate light, and a head and tail/brake light, and it's legal on any non-highway AZ road... <laughs> I would beat some sportbike ASS with that beast... <lmao>
imschur Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Now THATS A DIRT BIKE. What i'd give to run from the law on that.nice..real nice man
98Z5V Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 What i'd give to run from the law on that....reminds me of my youth... <lmao>
imschur Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 ...reminds me of my youth... <lmao> exactly... I always got away. My buddies XR 250 was a lot slower than my DR 400. <laughs>
