    Theres a little more to it than that.
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    The bike is an 85. Talk about weird, Honda had disc brakes on the back of the 250R in 82, and the flagship dirtbike still had drum on the back in 85

    The kit was actually purchased on ebay, and Craig (mywifeknowseverything) had posted the link to it here in the ebay forum but I sent him a PM and told him I was watching it and I'd really appreciate it if he'd delete so not everyone in the world would see it. He was a cool dude and did, I REALLY owe him one for that. Thanks a million Craig!

    I'm getting ready to head over to the shop and sandblast the subframe and paint it. I got some stuff today called "Allis Chalmers Orange" that looks fairly close to the original honda orange the frame and original subframe was.

    Thanks alot Ronnie. No doubt some of those guys are tough (Or impossible, Pocket change racing, those guys up at GA with the 3cyl banshee come to mind!) I've got alot of little stuff I need to order for it. I was hoping to be able to get another pipe other then the DG one but I guess it'll work. Right now all I'm waiting for is the seat, the pivot the seat mounts on (For it to flip up) and the fenders. Hopefully it'll come soon.

    Check out www.red-racer.com for lots of cool stuff related to the older CR machines. They have "Tahitian Red" spraypaint which might match very closely. I found the site when I was looking for old school stickers for my perpetually-on-hold Yamaha 490 conversion.

    Good work on the CR500, by the way!
    CURRENT RIDES:

    I see it coming....I really do!!
    My mechanics teacher has an alum frame 02 cr250 with a 91 cr 500 motor in it, that thing freakin motors, kills absolutely EVERYONE in super motard at the tracks hear, even in the rain he is lapping second place.....

    That is awesome, is there any way that the front forks can be shorter, it has that chopper look to it. but i guess where its a drag trike it might help. i have no clue about racing. cant wait to see the finished project.

    Seat and fenders came this afternoon, along with the one piece they pivot on. The pivot piece is tweaked pretty bad at the back where it bolts onto the subframe. Primer is drying on the subframe. I'll probably shoot 1-2 more coats of primer on it tonight and maybe try and get some of the final on it tonight before it starts getting dark. Right now I'm getting ready to order a bunch of stuff from Dennis Kirk, and Rocky mountain for it and my Tri-Z. When I get done I'll post a total back here.
