Good engine choice, but it will rattle your fillings out. 250R frame would be you best bet I think.

I have been told that the KX500 motors vibrate less than the CR500's..

But I suggest that you get in contact with bansheeesmoker. He has done the whole CR500 in a 250R frame.

any chassis with a lot of vibration dampening is what you'll want. 250r chassis is a good choice for fit, but your going to want a lot of polyurethan on it. The CR's are faster and have more power potential in aftermarket upgrades. IE 600cc bore/stroke kits

Great engine in a bad frame... I can only ask why?

The raptor engine needs a new frame, not the other way around.

There was a cr500 eng in a 250r frame on ebay a few weeks ago. Looked like a decent bike and it went for a lot cheaper than I think you could make it.
