i reckon it looks really good if your going to race it who cares nothing wrong with seeing something a little out of the ordinary i hope my shed will look like that one day i mean its already full for its size i have 4 bikes to myself trying to find one for my little brother and now that rusty sold me another pe400 me and dad can both ride one i need to get me and mxer where do the chargers go thanks Michael. :)
-
Looks pretty good to me although I think the fork boots might look better black or red. No biggy though.
-
I prefer the blue seat look as it captures the mid 80's works bikes that imo are the best looking works bikes of all. The bike still looks the goods. I reckon it would look better in real life than in the photos .
-
I think a blue seat looks better and if the radiator shroud matched the tank but i'm being picky.
-
are those air scoops original or are they radiator shrouds off a water cooled model?
-
sorry - looks dodgy - how much to take it off your hands..................... ;D

Yeah Michael, you of all people should have the grammar correct as you've just learned it all at school. If I was your English master I'd have to fail you ;D.
shit, I'm sounding like the grammar nazi but someone has to carry on Firkos legacy ;D

Return the bike to original. You asked!
-
you need a blue seat like mine...apart from that it looks the goods... 8)
-
heres one 84 CR500 that i found us ebay a little while back and looks really cool...
wouldnt mine copying it..although id have to change the blue to yellow on the side and number plates....
never happy... ;D
-
HHMmmmm, Yooos are right I gotta loose the black seat for a blue one and the Yellow fork gators have got to go,(I know someone who will just love those), I think I'm gunna loose the screen print on the swingarm too. :-\

They are reproduction DC plastics, special order in flash red.

Question to you e74
Where did you get those mock radiator/ airscoops shrouds? I have restored a CR 500 like yours and that is all I need to complete the bike
By the way the bike looks good

The Red Devil Racing CR500 RE
-
and again

Nice bike Damo,
I like the Dukes of Hazzard style front plate-Does that make Magoose the boss hog of Red Devil Racing ?or perhaps in hindsight he is more like Cooter the banjo picking inbred mechanic cousin.
E74 blue is best on the seat on your CR 5 and those yellow gators are best left on your pretty YZ465.
Cheers
;D
-
Magoose can be Boss Hogg. Much better than an image of him in his Daisy Dukes!!!
-
That bike of Damo's looks the goods alright. E74 nothing wrong with being different I say, if you like the way it looks leave it alone.
I have a 82 480 with a white frame and did so because I liked it.
THis one also has the black wheels
