Welcome to the forum. How did you acquire your bikes? I had a buddy from India a while back and he told me that it was difficult to get the...
Matt - I'm in the same boat as you. I've got about $6K into the restoration of my '86 500. For me, it was worth every penny. I know that I can...
Very nice work. It's awesome to see these bikes brought back from the dead. I can't wait to hear that you've got it running. It's probably been...
I love the 750. It sounds like you still have it. Does it still look that good?
Bummer. This is everyone's worst nightmare. At least you walked away - that's the most important thing. Also, the damage to the bike does not...
Here you go IC. I installed this kit back in 2003 and I believe it came from Mark Douglas. As stated, this bike has given me no problems and my...
With miles like that, you would assume that the bike has got to be like new. Assuming it is, then buy it. I'm of the mindset that I will pay a...
Sorry Squirrelman. The wife has been around for 15+ years and I've had 1 or more 500s for 20+ plus years. Neither have ever let me down....
Thanks for the clarification. That's what I was looking for. It looks like putting the kit on my 500 was the right way to go after all.
IC - for what it's worth, I installed a top-end oiling kit on my 500 back in 2004 when I was restoring it. From all the research that I did, I...
I'd be more concerned about the condition of it rather than the miles. Try to find out as much of the bike's history as you can. If the bike was...
Me too. I still have the wife, but the mistake I made was that I sold that bike to buy her an engagement ring. I have since found another 500 to...
Merry Christmas to all of you as well. My 12 year is smiling as Santa will have a brand new CRF100 under the tree for him!
Actually, these bikes are bone dry. The tanks and carbs have been completely drained. I always do that before bringing them indoors. This is my...
I didn't realize that other states did not have the custom plates. I've got one for each bike. They charge you a little extra, but I think it is...
Wow. I thought that I had a lot of bikes. I am partial to the XR650R though. I've got one for the dirt and love it.
Not even broken in yet. Congratulations.
Yes, like I said, this was the easiest one of the three to restore. However, it was definitely more than just a clean up. To me, restoration...
Good question. I've been working on these bikes since 2002, so right now, I don't have anything on the radar. The only other bike out there that...
Everyone - thanks for all of the positive feedback. It's great knowing that the work is appreciated and that there are still fans of this bike...
