I had the 84 CR500, what a blast, even being tough to start sometimes. But it a year used for $900 put in a fork seal, raced it a season and sold it for $800. Yeah that was alot of fun for $100. Wish I kept it Lean it over to flood the ports a bit and kick. Raced it and CR125 the same season, 2 very different but very fun bikes.

There's something about the early honda cr 480/500 which draws people to them. I have a 1985 cr 500 which always draws a crowd wear ever I go. Yes it can be a bitch to start until you get the knack and the power is to much for the average person. It's one of the only things from my youth that I still remember each time I ride it I'm back.in the 80s 18 and young lol

There's a YZ125 carb that works well on the 480. I'll look for the model.

That tab / extension to the RH side Swingarm end 'cap' : I'm wondering, is it a 'bit' to stop the chain from going down into the brake / backing plate (during just routine maintenance, I'd think), or, could it be a back up if say, the brake torque arm breaks, the backing plate then rotates, and you'd still have brake (at least for a tiny amount of time) ? A lot of bikes over the years, have had neat little things, to stop / minimize potential problems. I personally liked the vertical nylon plates on Swingarms towards the front...

Looks like a homicidal radical was pretty fearful of his message. RIP Charlie Kirk. Fond memories of watching his election night coverage on his website for several hours straight, and felt like my wife and I were celebrating with him and his team after Trump took the victory. You could tell from the interaction between him and his team that he was one hell of a leader, and his co-hosts and staff would have followed him anywhere.

Sad day. I think I’ve lost all hope for this country. I’m to the point where I need to just turn off the news and ride my bikes.

There are people that want to shut people up that believe in god. He was having a tremendous influence on kids at universities that are being preprogrammed. I was fearful something would happen to him. I never really thought he would be executed on stage though. This was a horrific event and i pray for his family. Rest in peace Charlie.

Henry Gref machined my cylinder for a Maico-style compression release in the back of the 480 cylinder. The activation lever goes on the handlebars, and it's very easy to use. One of my 480's has the Harley-style compression release in the cylinder head. It automatically deactivates after each kick, and I have to walk around the bike to reset if each time I kick it - very inconvenient.
