Hey dave916.
I see three that have had the intake bridges removed (CR500s....)
Ever tried it in a KX500?

The cylinder with no intake bridges are on 86 and   88{2] cylinders   [look similiar to the cr5}

I Have seen on post 89 cylinder {540]  with intake bridges removed {probably need more frequent piston changes}


88 intake

To be honest I still can't believe its finally here because I have been waiting on it so long ... it has all sorts of goodies that I wasn't expecting
New front and back tires
Hydraulic clutch still on the bars
New air filter
New chain
Newish Billet stainless billet fastest pegs

Not a scratch on the swingarm or front forks!!!!  :lol:
Only downfall is now I'm using an 06 chassis

So after a crazy year of work and not having time or money to build the rest of the bike I have finaly made a couple of steps in the right direction as far as getting back to finishing this build...
I was finally able to get my hands on a street legal frame and title so as to avoid any hastle with getting this beast street legal when it's all said and done.
Most of the bottom end parts for the motor are now in the shop waiting to be assembled...
Still have to build up some more funds and purchase a lot of parts...
Might be some time yet till I actually get the time to make some real progress on it but I will let you guys know when it happens
