Not another cr500rf REBUILD????

[090]

Im going to wrap this up as only fiddly bits to do . The front calipers are dragging so i will pull the brakes apart. Needs fluids and an air filter .
Took me until last night to get down the shed to do something on the beast.
Shes about ready to rumble.

Just around the back paddock at home. I dont know how i will go as i smashed my finger about a month ago and its still dodgy.

[holeshot buddy]

so if i beat him he will say he had
a sore finger
and if he beats me he will say he
can beat me with one hand :'(

[STW996]

Holey one you are using that one hand again arn't you

Brad you have a big back yard don't you?

Going for a ride tomorrow on the 89 250 I bought so should be all good for next week end, looks like a good field will be onboard

Yeah i have 5 acres and i play on the back half. Have you bought any '89 cr plastics yet? I will have to put some on the one coming up from Victoria soon.

[STW996]

Yes for the 89 500, bought some 6 months ago, the 250 come with a full set of UFO plastics! colour is a little off but can't tell in the light of day.

The side plates are the hardest to get as they were only on this model (88 has different muffler / pipe layout I am told) so still looking.

G'day Shane,

PM me the NOS part numbers for what you are after and i will have a look as well for you. are you after 2nd hand or only NOS plastics?

[090]

WOOHOO. Shit these things are awesome. I finished it off this arvo and took it for a spin 'round the paddock.Dug trenches every where. Just after the action shot, the family dog decided to jump in front of me so i promptly ran him over ,the poor bugger. I put the bike down as well so there is a nice crease in the front guard already , so she's run in now
Bring on Tamborine!

[Hoony]

Top Job and Nice Photo Brad!

pity the tanks on this model are so wide huh, makes it hard getting up over the front to keep the wheel down

let us know how it compares to your 83 480 and 84 500 when you have time, i'm interested to know your thoughts.

[STW996]

Hey mate that is the right T shirt for riding that bike?

Hey had the 89 250 out for a ride yeterday and had a good trip over the bars!! not as good as Brett though flipped the 500  one bent rear end stuffed muffler and rear guard!!

Will PM the numbers Hoony, Was after a new set but I am going to race it now so will take what I can get.
