cr 500 link on a stock 250r frame

[GOTFEAR]

What was i thinking !!! i cut up a good 88 250r frame to instaled a cr500 link on my stock frame i had to cut the shock mounts off and the rear motormount and add the cr-link and new motormount looks trick man im testing this week end im trying to add pics so you can see the master peice i will keep yal posted

[GOTFEAR]

the mod works awsome the cr500 link works as good as a aftermarket frame and cheaper now i can seat hop over tight corner jumps and handles the woops realy nice and jumps great and im smother than ever. i jumped a 60 foot triple right out of a corner and came up a litle short and the bike handled it verry good and last week i had a standard swing arm and worked stock shock that triple almost killed me i mean over the handle bars kinda thing but now i can jump and clear the triple with ease im a B rider so if your wondering. i cant get my pics up and going:D

[GOTFEAR]

I cant get my pics up and runing im going to get my computer gy to help me but you need to see this you might wont to do your 250r

That pic is not working completely, maybe if you resized it and then uploaded it?

I am very interested in this mod.

[GOTFEAR]

good

[250-R-250]

That is brilliant, So How did you do it. I am defianently going to do this. I even have the parts lying around here. Will a stock 500 shock work? I have another question....Who polished your cases?

[GOTFEAR]

well plenty of nerves choping up yor babby. but well worth it the only problem i had was the aftermarket airbox got crushed by the extra travel thats why they run stock box withe caliper cut out.

[GOTFEAR]

Why pay big money for a race frame when you can doit your self all you need is a T-pin and a cr500 link and arm

[GOTFEAR]

WHAT YEA THINK

[GOTFEAR]

As far as i know a cr stock shock will work and the motor is crome i did this at work we build custom choppers from the frame up

[250-R-250]

That looks great. Would it be too much trouble to post up some detailed step on this mod? I have never seen it before and I am sure that alot of guys would be interested in this type of thing.

Check your pms in a minute as well.

[GOTFEAR]

Well its not that simple to explin in words but i do have drawings and prints but its not that hard to do from the first cut to the last weld 5hrs

250-r-250 I dont think you can run the stock cr 250 shock. The Cr's piggy back rezzy mounts to the right side of the shock and wont clear the sub frame and if you flip it to the other side the air box rubber is in the way.

[Mcknight#5]

Got fear thats an awsome set up. did you have to grind a little away at the back of the engine cases like some of the old laeger
set ups or did you have the clearence?

[GOTFEAR]

actually i was woride about that the clearnces was realy good no problems i have about 5 hrs ride time and its perfit and my ride hight is in front 7in and be hind the foot pegs 61/2

[lee37vernon]

GOTFEAR , nice job ...

do you have both inner engine cases chromed too or just the outer two ? i was wondering about same but i had aluminum chromed before and it seemed to react after a while as the alu oxidised underneath and the chrome fell away ... also if you did do inners did you have any problems with bearing clearance ??

[GOTFEAR]

no just the covers and i would not crome the inners and i was wondering if eney one know if this mod has ben dun befor if so why isint this well known

[slamdak8782]

this is a pretty well known mod however people are tight with information as people make a butt load making aftermrket frames and swingers to accomplish it. Another popular mod for the 250r's is a no link swinger. As to which is the better mod not many seem too agree. But either way is a great improvement over stock. But how about some better pics and instructions. I have been wanting to do this for a while but couldnt find any good info or pics. Share the wealth.

[lee37vernon]

and your running the link with the normal 250r shock ? what abouth the swingarm ?, anyone know if links are same on all years of cr 500 ?

[GOTFEAR]

custam axis triple rate and 1991 or 92 cr500 link and a laeger arm and off center shock mount swing arm i plan posting some info on how to do this mod verry sone
