CR500 into ATC250R

[1bad450r]

Lookin to go ahead with this swap. I know there are a couple other people on here that have done it, anyone know what mods I will be looking at doing to make this motor fit in the frame? Will I have to buy new electrical or will the exsisting stuff work? Will the 250R radiator be enough cooling for the big 500? If not what should I look into getting? Also a buddy of mine that does alot of metal fabing offered to take my stock swing arm and stretch it out, maybe like +4. Is that smart or would it be better to just buy an aftermarket swing arm? Thanks for any input. I just want to know what im gonna be getting myself into here time and money wise.

Thanks for the welcome. It seems like everyone used the CR500 frame and fabed the front end of the trike on it and swing-arm. I dont want to do that. I have the trike already and I just want to stuff the CR500 engine into it. I blew the 250 engine recintely so what better opportunity than this to stuff something bigger in. Any info on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

KASEY, here on the forum built a 500R using the 250R frame. Your best bet is to talk to him. I used the CR frame myself. I'm planning on sometime though building another one using the 250R frame and chassis for flat tracking.
