Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
99 cr250
Good:
The only thing I didn't like about the '99 CR250 I had was that hard, monkey butt making, seat. (and the 500 power!) I rode my buddy's '02 the other day and it was the same way. I miss my couch! :-D
RoostDaddy:
I admire you guys with the aluminum frame conversions because ( DONT HATE ME ) I also own a '00 Cr250 and the frame must've been built around the motor. It just seems like any time you want to work on it you have to tear almost the whole bike down. But in the end, these AF conversions all look sick.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the replies guys. This will be a slow project as I have 9 bikes to maintain and being laid off doesn't help.
I am going to try to have it ready for the start of my local Florida Trail Riders races. They start in late august.

Looks like your off to a good start, is that a k5 swingarm? k5 shock linkage? what radiators honda? I imagine the motor is at the correct angle and the counter shaft sprocket is alignes with the rear sproket? I havent ridding a aluminum framed honda previous yeard were awesome for thier time, I hear the fame was very rigid didnt handle so well, just what I heard.? it would be nice to get a pipe not hammered on our cut and patched...I have spoke with AJ he seems to know what he is talking about...so his pipe advice my be good. I know JFAB also does some pipe work,,,,let me know how it goes THANKS

It was a 500 swinger just for mock up purposes. I dont want to drill the 500 motor until I actually make sure I want to do this project.
I would cut the spacers to fit the stock CR swingarm when actually installing it and drill the 500 case to fit the swingarm bolt.
The sprockets look to be in line and there is enough room to shift the motor side to side if needed.
I have never ridden a CR except for my OLD 86 and 89 CR 80s I had as a teen lol. I got this CR with a cracked case and was going to fix it but thought it would be even better with the K5 heart in it. So I don't really know how it handles?
Anyone have any input on the handling??
