Well, someone stole my camera, so posting any pics yet is not possible. i wont be starting on it till winter, i want to ride it around and make sure it is mechanically sound before i go wild with it. I plan to powdercoat (or paint) the frame red, along with red highlights on the wheels. anything chrome that can be cleaned up will be, and stuff that wont clean up nice will get painted either red, black, or a pearlescent white. as for the tank/side covers, i plan on a 3 stage pearl white of some kind, havent decided yet. over the white, i will have some custom airbrushing done, with flames, and possibly skulls. the outcome should be something to this effect, just over a different background color. I might go with a blue flame instead of red, and still go with the red accents, not sure yet.  any input would be great, just trying to visualize what i want to do with this. it needs new silencers, no big deal, i found a company on Ebay repopping really nice ones for about 200 a pair plus shipping.. wont really start on it until riding season is over, but it should look awesome when i get done with it. 80 CX 500 2000 CR 250 DIRT BIKE!!!!!!!!!!    Report

That is correct! same style of flame, over a different color background. color scheme is up in the air. i want black and red, but black is a PITA to keep clean. so, im just trying to get another color to go with red, or have those flames in a blue instead. but, we havent experimented with changing the colors of the flames, so idk how going from red to blue will turn out. 80 CX 500 2000 CR 250 DIRT BIKE!!!!!!!!!!    Report

There HAS to be an easier way to get the motor out. taking it out with the WHOLE driveshaft SUCKED, the motor is HEAVY, and doing it trashed is a PITA. took just under 2 hours to get it tore down quite a bit and get the motor out. not too bad for the first time ive disassembled her :) granted, it isnt the first bike ive torn apart though. i;d say 45 minutes of the disassemble was sitting there drinking and thinking what had to come off next so i could just unbolt the motor and drop it. progress so far:     Tomorrow it will be down to the frame and the frame will be prepped and painted with any luck. Labeling the wires as i unplug them Seat and tank off Grab bar off, and a few other odds and ends. Electric fan conversion, radiator, and motor OUT. like I said, there has to be an easier way to get the motor out, as far as the driveshaft is concerned. if not, re-assembling it is gonna SUCK. other than the driveshaft, it was pretty simple. Carbs are gonns get a go-through, as the overflow on the left side leaks like crazy sometimes and sometimes i get a high-rpm bog when i open the throttle more. pulling the choke and fiddling with it cures it, as if its starving of fuel sometimes. if cash allows, it will get a cam chain/tensioner service, new tranny, new stator, new coils, in that order. any suggestions on the electrical? also, the tach drive seal is leaking, any suggestions? i have researched it quite a bit on this forum, all i am really looking for is where to get the seal. i replaced the shift shaft seal already, i have a new oil filter, filter bolt, air filter. i need to get a camshaft seal, when i replaced it, i messed it up and it leaks a little now. no big deal, easy fixed. possible color schemes include green/black monster theme, red/black, black/yellow, yellow/purple. Let me know what you think,and input freely, i am open to all suggestions. motor runs strong, so it doesnt need a top end. maybe a valve adjustment, but i have no ides how do do that. i am used to working on 2 stroke bikes :D 80 CX 500 2000 CR 250 DIRT BIKE!!!!!!!!!!    Report

Make sure you put a filter inline on reassembly Also, your higher speed bogging maybe a vacuum leak on the left intake or line to the vacuum fuel shutoff. High speed runs can cause the fuel to almost shut off. As to paint, You can get auto grade paint put into spray cans at some Carquest's and Napa's Color with flames, I would go with a nice silver or smoky silver with blue or blue & white flames.

Performance would be easy....send the heads out to get hogged out for larger valves and porting, modern carbs, have the head shaved for high compression, send crank somewhere to be stroked and balanced and then the rod shortened so the piston comes to the same height in the cylinder as before the stroking, as running a cylinder spacer plate is not possible with this thing. I am quite sure you could get a sleeve that you could get stuffed into the block, and have wiseco make you some one-off pistons, upgrade the igniton system to something a bit more modern......there just arent any simple bolt on options. like i said, it can be done easily enough. any performance machining shop could do it easy. but its gonna cost some CASH. i bet the stroking of the crank and shortening of the rods would be 2 grand alone.....porting would be around 5-600 because of there being 2 heads....modifying the heads to run larger valves would be EXPENSIVE, shaving the heads for high compression would be fairly cheap, maybe 60 bucks a head. but by the time you got done, you'd have a 100 horse, 700CC CX500 motor that liked to burn up clutches, spit out trannies, and run on alcohol. i bet it would be a thrill to ride though, and it sure would piss a lot of people off. i bet getting some portwork, upgrading the carbs and ignition would yield 20 horses easy as you would be upgrading a lot of old technology, and you could be out of it for 1200 bucks or less. 80 CX 500 2000 CR 250 DIRT BIKE!!!!!!!!!!    Report

I think what Barry is saying on the short side is the basic mods will get you nowhere and the expensive mods will leave you with a $600 sh*t pump. There is a reason people buy these bikes. It's because they are dependable. Barry and myself have often looked at bikes on craigslist in ok condition needing some work and running the figures you just get a bike that's slightly better and could only sell for the same price it was picked up for. For the same price of all those crazy mods you could probably buy a bike that has that horsepower to start with and still have money to do some of them. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.

That's not meant to be a knock on Harleys -- they're designed to be slow. They're heavy, with engines that are de-tuned for high torque & low HP. Harleys can be made fast -- look at Buells. (All but the very last were Harley-powered.) You can also build-up a Harley to make it fast, but it would be a lot more involved than a just a jet kit.
