Title: Desperately looking for radiator shrouds for Honda cr 500 1985
Post by: crabman on April 18, 2010, 07:35:00 pm: Hi Gents
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a set of radiator shrouds for a 1985 CR 500?
I am looking for preferably the orange shrouds and also a blue seat cover - i don't need grafix I have them already.
Anything aftermarket would help.
Thanks \

Oh and the second site Banned CR500 riders

I hope this helps the desperation :o

Peter at VMX Racing.com has made the molds and I managed to order two sets.
Please tell him Gavin from South Africa referred you.

Post by: 090 on April 25, 2010, 10:13:24 am: Excellent. Good to see another bike is now covered as all of the other plastics are available. I bet there will be some people thinking the '85 shrouds will fit other models such as the '86, but they are different. I wonder if the '86 and '87 are the same?

Post by: STW996 on April 25, 2010, 02:45:33 pm: Bought some stuff from Peter a couple of weeks ago and he siad he had some more plastics coming on line but did not appear on the website yet.

I was talking 84 stuff so no sure what else is coming but he is building on available items all the time.

His prices are good also.

Post by: STW996 on April 27, 2010, 09:34:39 am: Hoony they look like (may well be) Mayer plastics.

Have on purchased a 82 front guard so far but am about to buy some 84 stuff.
