Amazing that there are apparently 2 CR500 sites (really?) where this turd of a thread could be dropped, yet it's taking up room on the front page of a website dedicated to a sport that is having its "Daytona 500" this weekend.

Scooter, the saving the world rhetoric is nauseating you're just grinding an axe.

The more people that chime in complaining about this thread the longer it stays on the front page. Seems that after 12 pages there's still quite a bit of interest in it.
There's no interest, it's just 3 or 4 guys passing the ball back and forth for 12 pages. I was going to chime in 2 days and 4 pages ago, but I thought surely this shit would end soon.

My dryer crapped out earlier this week and the first guy that came out to fix it screwed it up worse - new thread to follow.

And with two threads on the front page claiming unbeatable racing speed of certain riders based upon some hype video those riders were in, you'd think they would be the target and not a thread about the quality of dirt bike workmanship being sold to the riding public.

Them not looking at it tells me little. Hell, probably over 75% of the people I come across at the track have zero clue what my bike is. I'd bet most think it's some old guy's antiquated 250 smoker. The decals are worn off in the area where it said '500', so I'm pretty sure most are clueless and wouldn't know a 500 engine to save their life.

But you riding it tells me you're nuts. After grinding away over half of the welds on some of those mounts, I'd keep a damn close eye on it. A bike coming apart on you on the track probably isn't the best experience.
Oh, it gets looked at constantly, but with the hours on it, maybe the problems haven't arisen yet. Spent my money too, want something out of it. I have shims in the mounts as well, so there's ZERO load in the rails. Doesn't vibrate at all. I think that'll contribute to longer frame life as well.
My 02 CR250 was nasty. 20 minutes and my hands were numb. Offed it for that reason.

Maybe go www.myMaytagrepairmansucks.com. Perhaps your bitching would be relevant there. This is a Moto Forum. Ever ride a Maytag frontloader and case a double, with an ensuing horrendous crash? Let me know on that.

Your post count in here is going up fast, but every one is off topic. At least most others are staying on topic. Try to participate, or if not find a thread that more suits your style and mood. Thanks for coming out.

Well, I started the thread about this frame coversion, I should be responding to it. Or are you just too fuckin' stupid to figure that out? Don't bother, I know the answer. Don't MAKE me go all Tony Soprano on your ass. Maybe read some of my works before you engage any further. Wink

A four page thread can have 50 posters, the other eight pages of shit are 3-4 posters.

Hey, tell me that story again about how you tried to build a frankenbike and the lowball bid you accepted did a shitty job welding the frame. Great story, I want to hear it again!

You didn't case shit, and you didn't have a horrendous crash. This is just drama, and you are the queen.

So why do you call yourself fencepost, is it because your friends realised that's how smart you are, and gave you that nickname? Or do you continally keep riding INTO one while doing laps in mommys backyard doing laps on your PW 50? The later makes more sense. Your style suggests severe head trauma. NOBODY can be as fuckin stupid as you, naturally.

Clueless. Just clueless. Find a dictionary, and look up metaphor. Again, let me know.

Shit? Are you telling me that discussing custom dirt bikes and their fabrication/quality isn't moto related and shit? And who the fuck cares if it's 3 or 4 guys...maybe they're the ones closest to the info. We have one guy who owns one of the biggest companies in the US chiming in here, too. I guess I fail to see the worthlessness of this thread (until people start showing up to bitch about it and nothing more). There's a thread on this front page that's discussing the similarity between what one rider wore and what one rider's new company produces. Yeah, the color of the gear I wear has a lot more to do than the structural integrity of bikes that we ride and cost around $10K.

Sheesh. Internet police. You wanna save the internet, go hammer on the clown who's trying to sell illegal live feeds from the races and is posting here. That guy's stealing directly from our sport.

These bars do, in fact, make you second guess if the bike is even running (if you couldnt hear it) they take some much vibration out.

However, I heard filling the twin spars on the 02-07 CRs with structural foam also does this. I am going to read into it a little more, and consider trying that.

I have triple pinch bolt triple clamps too, so it only exxagerates the issue.
