cr500 in a 250r frame

[drag lt guy]

yeah their pipes are great, but as far as my experience goes with their porting, their work is very "tame" to what it could be

I'll go with that.

well I have a drag TRX500 frame coming and I am not sure what I want to do with my modified 88 frame, kind of want to sell it because of garage space, but I do have a brand new 86 250r motor I could drop in it and most everything else to make it whole.

I will be stealing the swingarm,plastics,radiator and other misc pieces for the new bike.

what do you guys think?

I like your work and what you have done with your frame and engine set up.
Look forward to seeing your drag bike.

thanks,
the drag bike frame will be solid mounted so hopefully the balance job crankworks did keeps the vibs down.

so have you rode your bike yet since you bought it?

Looks nice, going to be taking it to silver lake?

Hey guys, not to change the conversation too much but the time has come to see my baby go bye-bye. Anyone who is looking to buy one of the baddest and SUCCESSFUL TRX500r's (motocross trim) they will ever see, keep an eye out on Ebay as of this weekend. I will be listing my whole quad complete less shocks. If anyone interested wants it, PM me with a REASONABLE offer, also while it is listed on Ebay I can make arrangements to sell it cheaper without certain parts(for you drag guys). If the reserve doesn't get met, I will be parting it out. If you want to see it do a search for TRX500r PLEASE FIX MY VIBRATION! and go to page 7, I will be posting pics and specs/parts here asap as well also, this thing was dyno'd at 70hp, no drag porting, no drag pipe and it is capable of much more. Stay tuned, gonna try and have everything up tonight.

not sure I would build one of these for anything but duning and drag racing.

these vibrate no matter what you do, a big bore 250r based engine would probably a be better choice.

Had a little miscomunication with the guy I bought my frame from.

I though it was soild mounted but ends up it is rubber mounted also.

Next week I will try to get some pics on here of it.
