ATC500R "Build Thread"

[El Camexican]

Tonight I was feeling like I needed to buy more stuff - Never ending spending

I thought that was a female condition!

I’m surprised to see that the backing plate on your clutch is bolted and not riveted. I welded the rivets on my drag bike clutches. If I were you I would use red Loctite on those threads and plenty of it.

[JasonB]

That's exactly what they got! Plenty of the red high temp stuff! The gear had to come off the stock basket and the aftermarket basket I bought came without that center gear or the fly/drive gear on the vac of the basket. Solution? Grind that off and screw it to the new basket! Seems common from what I have heard

[JasonB]

Jason Hall packaged and sent my forks yesterday afternoon! Should be here around Saturday or Monday. Pictured below are the rebuilt, shortened CR125 Forks! In the package he sent should have these, my 450R foot peg adapters, and the new tripple trees. Pretty stoked about that!


Clutch parts showed up last night; new push rod, throw out bearing, c clip and associated parts and washers. Rekluse Z Start Pro should be installed this weekend or Monday depending on prior obligations. I LOVE HONDA FRESH OEM PARTS


Heard from BKM yesterday, he received the new front 10" wheel from XOWNER last night. I am meeting Bryan (BKM) tomorrow around lunch to give him the Douglas 10" rear wheels and the pound of gold powder so he can get cracking on doing all three wheels. He thinks he may have them powdercoated and ready for me by Monday, pretty freaking awesome!

As it sits I think I have everything needed to make the bike complete and rolling first of next week, just need my new Carb from APT so I can finally hear her run!!!!

[JasonB]

OH CRAP! LIZ JUST EMAILED ME! Carb shipped today from APT Express!! I should have it tomorrow!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;KALSJDF;LA;ALKJSD F;ALSKDFJA;SLFKJASDL

[JasonB]

Coming along nicely Jason..

Thanks man! Really wish I was headed to Cali to rip Gordon's well with you west coasters in two weeks

Carb showed up today. SO PRETTY


Another project I have been working on. My fiancé Rach last weekend at her first bikini competition. She's my avatar girl just FYI

[badass350x]

Wow Jason she's truly beautiful, props to her hope she won! Your the man!!!!!

[MojaveRider]

Dude, why are you playing with 3 wheelers? She's gorgeous, good luck at her competition!!

[JasonB]

Hey thanks guys! She's lost 67 lbs and has another 15 to lose for the next competition in the fall . Crazy woman!

Ok here's the latest update. Inverts arrived Saturday night, I got them in time to walk out the door and get on a plane to Texas. I'm stuck here in Dallas until tomorrow night ;(

While finishing up the Rekluse Z Start Pro clutch install I figured out I have 7 friction disks instead of 8 like I need. The 86-89 bikes had 7 friction disks, I upgraded to the 90-2001 clutch so I could run the rekluse. That means I went w the updated right side case, new clutch basket, new throw out bearing and push rod w assbly, and somehow I overlooked that there is one additional fric disk and drive plate. I ordered one new friction disk from honda since the 7 I have are within spec already for thickness. That wil be here thirsday and I can close up the clutch and stator side covers

BKM sent me shots of the wheels. He had the front wheel done and one of the rears as of this evenning

[El Camexican]

Forgive me if I missed something along the way, but I don’t recall reading what your plan is for the frame color.

[JasonB]

Frame is a different story. I'm on the fence about the frame for now so I just hit it with some black . I am almost positive I will be having an aluminum cr frame made up for me that has the conversion for the 500 motor. Nothing against the current ATC frame, I just feel like I will want something stronger because I want to start doing mx and other things that may be too rough for the converted ATC frame combined with inverts. That or just settle on a stock steel cr500 frame. Either way, I'm worried about destroying a good billy frame by trying to jump it with my new inverts and fresh shock /450r swinger. Hopefully it won't stick out like a sore thumb in the mean time amongst all the new parts and expensive Shiney junk lol

I keep seeing that spray bombed frame in the pictures and wondering what the heck you were planning.

[JasonB]

Lol I know the frame just looks awful but funds didn't allow for the aluminum frame at this time. Summer or fall hopefully. Planning to talk to Jason Hall next week at Little Sahra to see what he charges for work like that. He just did one for another member doing a 500 conversion now. Adam Millar (MRE) that did my motor also does frames for cr500 conversions that I could have do a frame for me. We will see. Just another 2 grand I will probably drop lol

[El Camexican]

BTW it’s ok (and appreciated) if you post photos of all the other competitors in that bikini contest.

[JasonB]

Lol you crack me up elcamexican. Here's a shot of her novice class line up. Em. The important shot haha



Inverts came in Saturday and I just got into them last night. Pictured is the cr125 brake rotor hub adapter, shortenned rebuilt cr125 forks, cnc'd tripples, and a 250r steering stem pressed into them. Also in this shot are my 450R foot peg adapters. I plan to pull an all nighter getting this sh!t in order and on the bike. I discrovered I needed a 250R/350X front axle and that I was missing the two nuts that belong ontop of the steering stem. BKM has a front axle for me, and im steeling the nuts from my bro-in-laws bike so I can finish putting this thing on its own wheels. Stay tunned hip hoppers
