C&J XR500 color scheme

[Marc.com]

quick opinion poll, do I paint it red or do the Mugen thing and make it white.

So far it is 2 votes for Mugen white with nickel frame and 3 votes for red.

[LWC82PE]

i reckon only white if you actually have Mugen parts fitted.

has Mugen clutch basket..... oh do decals count

[Wombat]

Put my name in the Red column.

[Bruised]

I see red ...

[E74]

You might as well paint it yellow...why I don't know, its just the colour of the beer I have daunk all arvo...

[ola_martin]

I like red. I'm sure it will be beautiful in any colour, just make sure to send me some pics when it's done!

Also if you could please send some of the frame when you have stripped it, some detailed, as many as possibe. I still have the XR/CR C&J-replica in the back of my head
Thanks

hey Ola you must have a never ending supply of Husky frames

[Marc.com]

Well as I have NOS M Robert euro style red rear guard and clean red tank in stock looks like the reds might win. I have really bombed XR540 motor, be interesting to try that baby out.

[ola_martin]

It was Honda CR not Husqvarna CR this time....

I just like to mess around with the grinder and welder

You need to use that rearfender with numberplates, and polished alu triangel sidecovers...

[Marc.com]

yep I hear what you are saying, FIM numbers and Ally triangles.

hey XR into CR has been done before, come on Ola how about XR into something blown up and European. Most have been done (KTM, MAico) Gilera ??

[ola_martin]

I have a Italian -78 Simonini 50cc. Maby the XR500 fits there???

[Marc.com]

Yep those little Italian bikes need some grunt. Guess you can do a Curtis style XR with  Husky frame, it is just an HL with another motor dropped in it and you alreday have one to copy.

RED
