cr500 in a 250r frame

I think for now I am just going to be riding out in the desert. How do you think a 15 tooth front will work with the 37 rear? I am hoping to take it out on sunday if work permits. I will be sure to let everyone know how it goes.

not sure what gears you have laying around but I would put the biggest back gear and smallest front gear you have in it and see how you like it.
You do have allot shorter rear tires than me so that will help the gearing though.

My bike runs a 15-55 gear (3.67ratio) leaving in 2nd gear with 22 inch 12 paddle extremes in the sand
I have ran 13-44 gear (3.38) leaving in 1st gear with 22 inch 12 paddle extremes in the sand.
I like leaving in second gear for drag racing because i miss less shifts when I don't pass threw neutral while shifting.

I run a 12-39(3.25) with a 20 in tire, and I think that I would like to try a 13-39 on mine. But I don't do much riding in the sand either.

Speaking of mine, I have been thinking about buying black plastics for mine, but I wanted to see how it would look before I did so I bought some of that krylon fusion and spray painted it. It looks like shit but I think I will go ahead with the black plastics though. If anyone was ever considering painting your plastic don't, your friends will laugh at you when there are white scratches on your black bike.

Hey guys, I finally finished designing my cradle mounts and do have them rough cut out, but still need to finish mounting the darn thing. I know I'm a lil' slow but it's coming along.
