My 2002 CRF450R framed 2001 CR500 (old picture). I'm in the process of rebuilding it from the ground up and it will have an Elsinore kit with green anodized wheels when done:



My mostly stock 2001:



Another 2001 I bought a few years ago that is in the process of being restored:



I also have an '87 CR500R that I'm trying to restore - have a stuck swingarm shaft. This is an old picture from the Amateur 1989 GNCC race in the Astrodome where I got a 4th place - had no business being on a SX track.



Keep in mind the first two pictures were taken a while back and neither still look that clean.

NICE 500's. I have an 02 CR250 I was thinking of dropping a CR500 (1997) motor into. How much cutting and welding or mods to the frame must be done?

Check out this site, lots of info. From what I understand the 250's require the least amount of mods.

Did you polish the crankcase? Mine looks a bit more rough.

Hope you got that shift drum roller bearing in before you put that back together

I didn't polish anything, that's what it looked like upon splitting.
