DaBeechMan;
Call me stupid (ok don't call me stupid), but I just realized those were Honda motors in your quads.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

For some reason I thought they were Alcohol (370) Banshees.

Boy do I feel stupid now![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

How much H.P. do you think you could get out of a 250cc on Av-gas?

HaHa, lmfao. Um...ok i wont call you stupid...you just lost your "know-it-all" status though...lol. Yeah one of the motors is methanol 370 (ahem honda) and one is a 425 honda on meth. We have a gas 370 (honda) as well. Stock cylinder? Dunno never dyno these bikes or anything. I know they can be made to run pretty dang well though. Especially on alk.

What gave away that they were honda motors? Was it the single drag pipe? or was it the single cylinder, single carb, single air filter? hehe jk. Just kidding. Least you admitted it though right? I'll show you a banshee soon...i think you'll like. I have to upload it onto the server tho

Sounds like fun. I am going to try to talk Theo (the old lady) into it. Is is more than an hour from Reno?
What would it take to get everyone up to Utah to race up a really big hill?

I guess I didn't look close enough at the pics the first time around...... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Anyway, I'm not used to seeing a Honda wheelie that bad with that long of an extended swingarm![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Looks like you did something right there![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yeah, SOME honda's are fast....for all the yami guys out there. That frame is extended 10 in the front with a +10 swingarm in the back, its a heck of a ride. I just raced a 900 ninja the other weekend and i beat him once and he beat me once. Both by 1 bike. I got em on video [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Utah is big on easter thats when everybody heads to utah. The utah hill is big, but so is Nevada, you wont be dissapointed. Trust me. You should go too 2fun

REMEMBER NO CR500 Motors in quads!!!It would make a good chocolate milk commercial though!

Hi this is my first post, You asked about putting a cr500 motorin a 250r frame while I just put a cr500 in a 400ex frame. and as for cost I'm in to it for about $600.00. $480.00 for and extenion shaft and bushing for the kick starter, $120.00 for mis bolts nut tubing and use of a friends famb shop. The company that made the shaft is DutchmanAxles out of Portald Or. Yes it vibrates YES! ITS FAST...

the 3 guys that I have PERSONALLY talked to, that have dont this conversion would NOT do it again... They felt the "rumored" vibration as well.

Yud be better off finding a CR 500 and making it an ATC... You decrease the vibration somewhat....
