Yes, large tank and lots of stops. Possibly an aux tank.
I'm not sure how far I can go on a tank yet, so that will determine how inventive we will get with fuel.

Progress yesterday. Motor is locked in and pipe mods have started.

that pipe looks like it was custom made it fits so cleanly in there! what PC model pipe is it?

Thanks,
It's a PC pipe from a CR500 It fits great, but it is very tight to the cylinder. I haven't decided how I am going to handle coolant hoses yet, but I'm sure it involves heat and a hammer. I used the neck off of the stock pipe and the pipe spring loops will be moved. It looks like all of the mounts will work!!! Here is the link to the one I bought - http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Product/pro-circuit-works-2-stroke-exhaust-pipe/997-WORKS.aspx?year=2000&make=HONDA&model=CR%20500R I do not endorse or work for this company.

The Pro-Circuit pipe is big around the coolant pipe area. I had to do some denting to the pipe and move some coolant inlets/outlets. Here is the roughed in way we tackled it.
The coolant elbow that mounts to the cylinder is really a strange alloy. It was not easy to weld.
