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 \

Crabman join this site and put a WTB in Classifieds section, it’s dedicated to CR500 and as long as you own one you can join. Yes it is elitist but we all know the 500 is king…………… :P :P :-*

Oh and the second site Banned CR500 riders

I hope this helps the desperation :o

Hi Gents
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.

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?

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.

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.

although I may be wrong? Looking at a mag from the day, the tank,seat etc are completely new but the radiator shrouds look the same?
