Update on Project CR500AF.........within a week of pulling my cr250 motor and putting it up on craigslist......today was about fate......In the same day I got a call from a fellow that wanted my 250 motor and I found a guy that didn't know the value of the CR500 motor in his garage......The following took place within 2 hours of one another.
Drove down to Bakersfield to meet the dude that gave me $500 bucks for my 97 CR250 motor, carb, electronics
Then Drove up to Visalia to meet the dude that sold me his CR500 motor, carb, electronics for $700.
Looking around craigslist and ebay I cannot find a CR motor, carb, and electronics for under $1500, and a complete running bike for under $2000. I think I did ok.
