Try the Booysen reeds race shop on web/

i know they make Ign' covers Crabman, but are you sure they make a clutch cover for the air cooled CR500?

i though it was for the 87' and up CR500's only?

Guys,
I am currently building an 84 CR500 Honda for the 2009 season but am in need of a clutch cover. Can anyone help? I have been scanning evilbay etc, but at the moment, no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are they the same as the 82/83 CR480? if so...

Motor is back together, water pump fixed etc. I thought i'd try black fork bottoms, paint is easy to take off if it doesn't look good.
Notice the old MC1+ bottle? My old man found it at his place. Unopened from the eighties.
I have decided to do the wheels up instead of pinching the wheels off the 84 . Im going gold rims and toying with the idea of silver hubs.

Hubs are painted and waiting for the spokes to arrive, so i should have them together by the weekend. Triples are sorted with new bearings. Went through the swing arm and greased it all up. The DG pipe was a bastard getting the clear lacquer off, shit it gets baked on. Three goes with the paint stripper to no avail so i ended up using a wire wheel on the drill to get it off and the rust up at the header. It has a nice procircuit  muffler to go on it as well. Hopefully the frame will be sorted this week as well so when i get that back i will get my old man to paint it for me.
I decided to get the radiators cleaned out as there is some build up in them. To do it properly the radiator guy is going to cut the bottom tank off so it can be rodded through then welded back up. $180 to do it which i thought was a bit much but better than it over heating i 'spose. If anyone can get it done cheaper i'd like to know.

Spent most of the day yesterday sourcing paint for the frame, sand blasting it and painting it at my dads place. Left it over night to cure so i didn't do anything on it last night. Did the domestics in the am and the ol' boy brought the frame around about half three this arvo. So into it!
I did the wheels friday night, but the rear wheel had to be sorted by the guy who normally does my wheels as the late model rims have offsets to suit disc brakes , so the rim/ spokes had to be re angled. Hope to have it at the end of the week at the latest.
