If you’re standard radiators are relatively good condition, I would get those braced and welded instead of buying the cheap eBay radiators. I’m also in the UK and can’t recommend Altech enough to brace and repair radiators. Very good pricing for the work that goes into them

I have a cr250 flywheel, ignition, and pick up on my 500. I think I had to drill the backing plate. I don’t have any pics of the set up. I believe I read a thread on bannedcr500riders about it. I taped up the plugs that went to the TPS and other things I didn’t need. It’s pretty smooth with mo’betta port job and the cr250 flywheel
