i got an chance to look at jfabs conversion bike next to the service kawi bike of danger for u2 ,, both would certainly work...i did like the way jfab did his cradle  he used 1 inch square .125 wall tubing and its completly replaces stock cradle,,,,nice work

The CR with a KX motor won't have much resale value. Besides the 99 CR's chassis wasn't that good. The 00-01 was okay. The 02+ does have a good chassis, but would be better donor for a CR500 to keep it in the family (One of my Projects).  :evil:

I personally would go with a JFab, or an 03+ KX conversion(Second project :mrgreen:).

P.S. Since you only listed through 2002, do you need a CA green sticker? If so, try and find a KLX450 chassis... for a KLX500AF.  :-D

AJ:
we have KLX500AFs in stock ;)

As far as pricing.. i'm confused on your Service kawasaki KX500AF..price "list" -
 when you mention $1500 for an 500 engine?

the bike at 10,999 comes complete.. ready to ride .
it has a brand new KX500 engine in it?
its a brand new bike.


if you want to use your engine,
and do it more as a *kit* style,
then obviously the rolling chassis converted is certainly less expensive (than 10,999)

currently we use the 09 KX250F chassis.
(but i do have some 08 KX450 chassis to use as well if that is prefered)


if you are looking at various options,,
resale may not be in mind..
but it is a factor?

the CR/KX conversion done as a home project
would have very little..

so i would stick to kaw chassis kaw engine hybrids..
as the ywould hav edecent value.


the other thing is we have used KX500AFs that are in  very good shape
that customer traded in for newer models
and the prices might fit into your many options..
and be another very  reasonable one..

Do you have them posted up somewhere? I only see pre-owned CR5AF's on the website.
