This bike started with both. Take a look underneath it and you'll immediately see what we're talking about. The aluminum frame rails are exceptionally clean and the bottom of the original Honda CR500 engine cases are beautiful. The swingarm, front wheel and other original components show the same thing; Mint & Original. The result is a fresh custom aluminum-frame CR500 powered by a completely rebuilt CR500 Engine Loaded With Performance Upgrades Including the Millar Race Engineering Cylinder, fitted with premium suspension, controls, exhaust, wheels, brakes and one-off Kaplan Cycles graphics. 70 hours of professional shop labor at our current $150/hour rate went into this machine = $10,500 in labor plus more than $5,200 in new parts, for approximately $15,700 invested in the restoration and build before even factoring in the value of the CR500 engine and aluminum-frame core. This is a serious, fresh, track-ready CR500 build. MILLAR RACE ENGINEERING CR500 CYLINDER The engine is the centerpiece of this motorcycle. We had a Millar Race Engineering cylinder in inventory, we were saving it for the right build. Adam Millar is one of the most respected names in high-performance CR500 engine development, and his custom porting package is designed to deliver something far more important than simply producing a giant peak horsepower number. It makes usable power. Some highly modified CR500 cylinders can produce impressive dyno numbers but become difficult to ride on a motocross track. This Millar setup is different. It begins pulling extremely hard from lower in the RPM range than a stock CR500 and continues pulling beyond where the stock engine signs off. The powerband is massive. A professional motocross racer who test rode this machine described it as the fastest motorcycle he had ever ridden. Engine build includes: Fresh Millar Race Engineering performance cylinder with Full c ustom porting package New piston New piston rings New base gasket New Modified cylinder head for increased compression Engine cases split and completely rebuilt Vapor-honed crankcases New crankshaft New connecting rod New crank bearings New crank seals Completely new clutch assembly New shifter seal New kickstarter seal Rebuilt water pump New water-pump seals and gaskets New engine gaskets throughout New engine seals throughout New engine hardware Rebuilt and polished kickstarter Boyesen Factory Racing ignition cover Boyesen Factory Racing clutch cover Boyesen reed valves Brand-new Twin Air filter Pro Circuit CR500AF expansion chamber Pro Circuit Factory Sound stainless/aluminum silencer From the bottom of the crankcases to the top of the cylinder head, this engine has been Completely Rebuilt. It is all brand new inside. The engine presently has only three heat cycles and approximately Ten minutes of ride time following completion. PRO CIRCUIT CR500AF EXHAUST The bike is fitted with a genuine Pro Circuit AF exhaust system, specifically designed for CR500 aluminum-frame conversions. The expansion chamber carries the AF designation and is paired with the matching Pro Circuit Factory Sound silencer. It sounds exactly like a properly built CR500 should. Deep, crisp and absolutely ferocious when it comes onto the pipe. We run this machine on VP Racing race fuel, which is recommended due to the higher-compression cylinder-head configuration. ALUMINUM FRAME & CHASSIS One of the biggest factors in determining whether an aluminum-frame CR500 build is worth doing is the condition of the chassis. This one was the right candidate. The lower frame rails are exceptionally clean. The rails were polished and the remainder of the aluminum frame was carefully Scotch-Brited to restore its original appearance. The original swingarm is equally impressive. Chassis service includes: Polished frame rails Scotch-Brited aluminum frame Steering-head bearings inspected and regreased Swingarm bearings serviced Linkage bearings serviced All Chassis bearings and bushings inspected & lubricated Excellent original swingarm Extensive new chassis hardware When you see clean frame rails, a clean swingarm and a clean original front wheel, those are all good indicators of the type of life a motorcycle lived before restoration. This one started with excellent bones. COMPLETELY REBUILT SUSPENSION The suspension has been completely serviced front and rear. Front suspension: Completely rebuilt forks New fork seals Fresh fork oil Pro Circuit red-anodized triple clamps Rear suspension: Completely rebuilt rear shock New shock seals Fresh shock fluid Fresh nitrogen charge New shock bumper The bike is ready to be ridden or raced. FRONT END & CONTROLS Everything the rider touches is new. Up front you'll find: Brand-new Dunlop front tire New front brake rotor Completely serviced front brake system New front fender New front number plate Pro Circuit red-anodized triple clamps Brand-new Renthal Fatbar handlebars Brand-new Renthal crossbar pad New ProTaper quick-adjust clutch perch Gold quick-adjust clutch lever New clutch cable Brand-new ODI grips New fuel-tank breather The controls feel exactly the way a freshly built motorcycle should. WHEELS, TIRES, CHAIN & SPROCKETS The original front wheel remains on the motorcycle and is in excellent condition. The original rear rim had a slight imperfection, so rather than compromise the build, we replaced it. The rear wheel now features: Brand-new Takasago Excel rim Takasago Excel spline-drive spokes Brand-new rear Dunlop tire Brand-new black rear sprocket Brand-new gold drive chain New chain sliders New chain rollers Excellent chain guide The front tire still has its
