500x, Anyone built one lately

[rttuck21]

Anyone built one of these lately? I got a pretty good 82xr500r im going to build one out of, I've seen everyones builds are different, I've really been looking for a 350x with a bad motor but they are few and far between, and I got this bike, also got whatever tools needed to do the job, I'm a mechanic so the experience is here, but lacking details and photos, not one I can look at anywhere close, not sure what everyone wishes they would have done differently on their builds, I looked at my 81 250r frame and didnt look like to much from it would work, might be able to use the rear subframe, the swingarm doesnt look like a good candidate, Would like to see some photos of whats been used and what i should get collected up, thank yall!

Thank you, I wonder how would the rear subframe from my 81 atc250r would work?

The older version of the xr is different then the '83 and up xr500 and xr600, not sure what would work. I believe that members have modified the 350x frame for the '82 and older xr500. When I built mine ('83 xr500), I had a lot of trial and error, but thats what makes it interesting.
Good luck on your build, they are a lot of fun to ride!
