    1985 ATC500 Laegers

    Picked this up a couple days ago, should be a fun project. It is missing some key parts, but there is a guy local who has one built and running. I will need to fab the subframe, front axle spacers, and rotor adapter.

    Last night got it out of the truck and on some tires/wheels to roll it around. It will get torn down and I am already on the hunt for another CR500 to enable a nice come up to its former glory.

    Mike, I recently saw some atc500 frames and stuff on Craig's here, and I think just a couple days ago somebody had a running cr500 take out motor for sale so you might wanna hop on to CL and give it a look. I'm sure you already have though.....

    Cool project!

    I'll be keeping an eye on this - reminds me of my very first 500 build, I started off with a laeger 500 kit that was in about the same shape. Super nice find Mike!

    Is that a Honda CR 500 frame modified into a 3-wheeler or did Laeger build the entire frame?

    Laeger offered a kit consisting of triple trees for the CR500 forks, a subframe with flip setup for the seat, and a custom swingarm. Used the original frame and otherwise same components.
