mickey dunlap makes a 500 kit. i think it is around $900 but i could be totally off. i don't remember exactly. his oil cooler is supposed to be the best on the market for the price. it supposed to cool the bike 40 - 50 degrees. also, it brings the cool oil up onto the cam and rockers which is good. the only problem is you need to drill and tap into the head cover. however, it is only a litle over $100. not bad for the price.
Yup, that's about all I know about it also. I saw it for $800.00 but 900.00 is close enough for me.

They make pretty good cooling kit for the 500ex, I was reading on it..Costs lots of money I really don't think its worth it..why all the power when you can get a decent 440 kit.

Hey go to ebay and there is a guy selling a 500ex just type that in and you can read what all he did. He sent to a company called 4 stroke tech i think and got it all done. (ported and polished his heads too). Read it, it is a sweet quad.

Probably the reason you only get 8 hp is because that is just a bump up in CCs, not everything. If you had cam, filter, pipe, jet it, piston and whatever else it would be putting out some serious HP
