Yup... my 81 CR450 was a crazy switch... 82 & 83 CR480 crazy switches... 84 to 86 CR500 crazy switches... 87 got rid of the rotting magnesium water pump cover that would rot away and wreck everything and they also made the motor more manageable.

Thats right... you remember me getting silly over your bike when you signed up. My first choice being a KTM guy would be to have this motor stuffed into an 08-10 450/530 frame. Some day when my 08 530 motor gives it up I may just do that. Won't cost anymore than going through the 530 motor. Gonna keep my eyes on CL for another 500 motor just in case the stars align down the road..
Nice bike Jeff. Don, I am surprised that guy is still in business. On of the most arrogant, my way or the hi-way, assholes you'll ever meet. And for a "business man", again, surprised he's still a business. Just a few miles from my house.
It wasn't my personal $$$ experience, but I went through it with a friend who had a car built by him. And they ain't cheap.
Sweet 500. Can I ride it? 
84 was the first 500 though it was air cooled. 85 was the first water cooled 500 and it had a crazy bark off the bottom but signed off quick on top. You really had to short shift that motor. 86 had a crazy hit as well but a little mellower than the 85. It would pull much longer and made for a sweet dez weapon but would head shake like crazy.
87 they mellowed out even more to by more manageable but you still can't beat that 500 2 stroke bark. Lost touch on the CRs after that as I switched to KX500s in 88.

Sometimes I wish I was you, like right now as I drop a big cable off (sharing last nights dinner with the toilet at work) I am thinking of you.
They did install a "Palmer only" shitter at your work, right? It's the Andy Gump out in the back lot.Sometimes I wish I was you, like right now as I drop a big cable off (sharing last nights dinner with the toilet at work) I am thinking of you.

Speaking of Palmer only, my daughter was in line when I came out. Damn it!!! I thought that was good shit talk. Right there and you duped me.
