I am going to try that w my retro oem style 96 Kx kit, on my other Kx I used a blow dryer but think I heated it up too much & caused a airbubble on the clear top, the other side I just put the decals in a sink full of hot water, & did the cut a straight line off the center most vertical spot that attached the small middle part & it is only like a 1/4" slit so you can remove it if not placed correctly, then once nice & perfectly placed I removed one side of the backing & started in the middle going up & down while working towards the edge keeping the side of decal off the plastic while applying to keep wrinkles & air bubbles from forming, but your method looks alot better, I was just nervous the windex would cause decal not to adhere, but looks like I was worried for nothing lol, great job & awesome Cr500, is that the short stroke Cr500 or was the 1985 Model??

@@benjaminemerald8027 thanks bro! It’s an 1986, but they’re pretty close to identical! Sorry you had trouble, hopefully you can stick a pin in the bubbles and maybe use that blow dryer to smooth it out. I was also pretty skeptical it would get messed up, but I had a friend show me this and it blew my mind. Perfect graphics everytime now! I’ll put a video on restoring this cr500 up when it decides it wants to fire up lol

It looked like the one wire that was unplugged was the ignition wire. If it came unplugged while riding , the bike would have died. One of the first things to try once you realize you lost spark is to disconnect the kill switch I've had a few bad kill switches kill my spark on my bike. I would imagine they just said forget it after that and left it sit.

Adam Millar is a genius. I have had compression release installed on my 500 head by him. The guy is so nice and humble, was in contact all the time with the updates, shared a few tips and tricks. Its amazing how he replies to each and everyone's query. Regarding the paint process, I have tried this before on my cr500 engine cases. and it didnt last a month.it will flake off as soon as you hit it with pressure wash.specially where it comes in contact with oil and gas. I then powder coated them with satin black, it was way more durable and resistant to oils and gas. how is the 93cr500 coming along?

@@Samar_MotoBuilds ahh, did you bake it too? I well good to know.. I was told the engine paint was fuel and oil resistant. My uncle used this on a small block in a 57 Chevy and he had no issues? Well if it doesn’t stick, I’ll make a cerakote video I guess 😅 Adam is one of my favorite guys in the moto community. Genuinely nice guy. Wish I had him do my decomp head, had a guy in Illinois do it. Might sell mine and have Adam do one for me to cut the squish band as well. 1993 CR500 now belongs to my next door neighbor, he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse!

After a campaigning a YZ490 for years I bought an ex Honda Australia CR500 race bike in '87, omg, that thing was mad, carbon reeds, ported barrel, killer suspension( I think it was white power) no one could catch me. Had to hang onto the bugger though, It would try to buck me off at every twist of the throttle! I would love to have one now but at 60 years of age I think my big bore 2 stroke days are over lol. Always hated that short kick starter. Look after the old girl, they're going up in value , haven't seen one under $10,000 here in Australia for years.

I also use a pwk 35 air striker that is a copy. But mine is a copy 90% like the original. China imitates it very well. The logo, and the part number are the same as the original so it's hard to tell the difference. I've bought more than 10 pcs and installed them on my customer's two stroke 125cc bike. The result is very good and it is easy to set! the price is also very cheap which is rm90 (Malaysia) which is 22.5 dollars. very worth it with its very good quality in terms of finishing and setting.
