I had a 1984 cr125r when I was younger,back in 1986. Then I only weighed 135 lbs,& put a 53t sidewinder sprocket on it and moved to north Georgia in the foot hills and would ride the washouts on the power lines. Man it was a workout for sure and a lot of fun. Love the build sir!

Absolutely beautiful bike. I built a lot of CR500AF’s and some 500 steel frames too… that was just about 20 years ago! It’s awesome to see the trend still going! We did great back then but we didn’t have cerakote, ovens or our own sandblasting cabinets… it’s nice to see how far we’ve come. Thanks for posting.

Oh and I should mention that there was no KZfaq back then but I had just started messing around online for the first time. I had just learned of EBay and it was awesome back then!

Looks sweet!!!! I am not the biggest fan of colored swing arms, as I am old... and old school, but in this case it works so well, and this over all bike looks awesome! This looks like it is a 2023 factory edition bike! ... someone/some company needs to step up and start remaking CR500 engines and putting them in frames like this.. they would sell like hotcakes to the average guys like me, who don't have the space, or skill to build such a bike.

There is a company that does such a thing... They are called Built500 (formerly Service Honda). Aj is objectively the best in the business.

Nice build! I finished my CR500AF. I used a 2004 CRF450 roller and had it cut and welded up to accomodate a 88 CR500 engine. The bike is a "mad buffalo!' My next project will be a 96 CR250 engine which has been already completely rebuilt into an 07 CRF250 roller which I got for only $200 the whole bike. Im about to pitch that 4 stroke bomb engine into the ocean!

Hey Colin, did you have to machine the head/cylinder matting surface flat to get a good seal? Looks amazing btw!
@crbikeworks Жыл бұрын
No, I just scraped old gasket off the best I could with a razor blade and honed the cylinder. New gaskets seem to seal well.

I have a mint 2002 CR250. Would a Honda 500 two stroke motor from any year fit in it?
@crbikeworks Жыл бұрын
That chassis (‘02-‘07) CR250 is regarded as the easiest to do a conversion on because you can utilize the stock Airbox with no modifications to it or the subframe. Which is why I decided to go that route. The hang up is getting the engine mounts to center with swingarm pivot etc and that is where it is nice to have the cradle professionally cut and welded to accommodate a 500. Reach out to AJ Waggoner at Built500 if you’re interested in having it done right.

Service Honda no longer operates, but AJ Waggoner was one who worked there and he started a company called Built500. AJ is one of the, if not the, best to do conversions. I bought my frame from him and did the work myself, into it around 8k. I’m not sure how much he charges though to do it.
