Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)

I have a '97 CR250 frame, modifications minor compared to other AF's?

(1/3) > >>

RM_Rider14:
I want to start compiling parts for the conversion and I was just given this frame, is it worth using it or should I go with a different frame?

  Thank you much-

PowerFiend:
If you are doing a CR500 conversion it is supposed to be fairly easy, but that frame was too stiff and didn't handle well. Every year since Honda has introduced more flex into the Al frame.

Motorrad:
One of the worse frames I ever rode.  Made Jeremy mcgrath leave Honda it was so bad. 
IMO Honda didn't sort the AL frame out till 2001 2002 ish

ShadeTreeFab:
i talked to a guy that did a '99, he said the kx5 fit better and was easier to do then the cr5. '97 to '99 is basically the same

RM_Rider14:
Thank you all for the replies, I appreciate it...
