Honda CR description

This custom 1979/80 Honda C & J XR500  was built a few years ago and has been sitting in the garage since.  Bike had about 1 hour of ride time to make sure it was mechanically sound before being stripped back down and powder coated RAL 3020 to perfectly match the VMX racing Tahitian Red plastics.  Tank, frame, plastics, and custom made side panels graphics match perfectly.  Every piece/part on this bike was carefully thought out to try and replicate that 1970's factory Honda Racing look.  Donor bike was a very clean, well-cared for 1979 Honda XR500 from Nevada, bike showed no signs of rust or corrosion which made for a perfect parts bike for this project.  Jeff Cole, from C&J Racing Frames, built this frame/swingarm, it is brand new and has been updated slightly from the earlier versions from "back in the day".  I have all the proper paperwork/receipts from C&J and have a Washington State title from the donor bike. Apparently, Team Honda had several of these factory bikes built back in the day in which Johnny "O'show" O'Mara won the 1980 4 Stroke Nationals on his famous Mugen "White Bike".  The tank is a dent free, restored 1978/79 CR250R Elsinore.  Has new repod seat pan, foam, stainless mounts, and custom gripper seat cover.  The 43mm front Showa forks have been rebuilt by EVO suspension; they are from a 1983 Honda CR250R; as well as the front wheel, front double-leading brake (best drum brake ever built), and triples.  Has new Renthal bars, grips, billet kill switch, billet gas cap, RC factory replica billet tank washers, aluminum shifter, IMS wide footpegs, Works Connection hour meter, Wiseco piston (cylinder still original bore), Applied one-piece top bar clamp, Applied oil breather hose, FastGuyStuff decals, front Buchanan spokes, TM36 Mikuni flatside carb, Magura clutch/brake perches/levers, Motion Pro clutch/throttle cables,  DC Plastics transluscent front brake/fork covers and mud flap, Sunstar aluminum sprocket, Renthal Gold chain, VMX Racing billet chain guide, NOS Supertrapp, custom stainless steel mid pipe and I believe a used White Bros. exhaust. The hubs, top triple clamp, and DID corrosion free rims were powder coated a semi-gloss black. Bike has many new OEM and aftermarket nuts/bolt.  The very best Works Performance rear shocks were custom built just for this bike.  Bike handles awesome; feels and handles like a newer bike, even through the whoops!  I spent many, many hours building this bike to the highest standard.  I've had many compliments on this build.  The day I test rode it at the track it attracted a lot of interest in the pit.  This is about as good as it get's for a C&J XR500.  AHRMA, Horsepower Factory, HPF

The North East,Prescott and fast laps with Chris Walker at Mallory

Thu, 26 Apr 2012

A big thanks to all at Newcastle Motorcycles for lending me a Honda CB1000F on Saturday to do nothing other than join mates for a blast round some fantastic roads in the North East. The buddies in question were Alan Smith (Bradley’s dad) and two stroke addict and race fan Chris Berriman. We headed east over the moors from the ‘Toon’ heading towards Barnard Castle then back through Consett before finishing up at the picturesque Tynemouth.
