That cr 500 is so sick! Love the anodized blue rims, nice touch. Thanks for sharing!

[@CharlieFerer]

Thank you...I was 50/50 on the blue rim idea and once done it was definitely a great call. Hard to beat the gold rims on the 1986 and 1987 bikes.

Back in 2015 my wife and I along with our 2 kids drove from AZ to Disneyland and on the way stopped off to look around at Pro Circuit. We were offered a tour of the facility and were lucky enough to meet Mitch and talk with him for a few minutes as well as Ryan Villopoto's dad. Very friendly staff there at the shop. And just a year ago I was put on the list for a raw pipe for a 2001 Cr250 and it was just a month or so before I got a call the the pipe was ready.

[@CharlieFerer]

Very cool! They are one big family and Mitch is always working on something in the back. Very hands on!

[@Brian-xb6bx]

Hey Charlie, Great tour. The 22 bike was before Reed. I believe it was Ryan Hughes bike.

[@JosephDredd31]

Yes ,you are correct.

[@CharlieFerer]

Great to know Brian! Thank you ;)

[@blanchard899]

@@CharlieFerer bring in a 84 CR500 for Mitch and the boys to make pipes and silencers for. 👍

[@someoneyouknow96]

Dude, I dig those blue rims. Never seen that done. It’s commonly silver or gold for that era.

[@CharlieFerer]

Thank you! They look good but hard to beat the gold on a 1986-1987 CR. I have gold Excel rims on my 250 so nice that they are different.

[@someoneyouknow96]

@@CharlieFerer you're not wrong there. Gold with red is bananas!

[@xXSlickNickXx757]

Tell them tons of guys are looking for pipes on this generation of bikes!! Especially the 86 cr 250 ! I have an original 86 cr 250 PC pipe

[@CharlieFerer]

You should be able to call and get your name on the list for the 1986 CR 250. I have their works pipe and silencer brand on my 1986 CR 250. They will do another batch of those in the future.

[@mikeguliz]

That awesome got to get me a pipe for my 86 cr 500 build👍

[@CharlieFerer]

Indeed the pipe and silencer came out perfect!

[@Duppavich]

Could you please do a short video on the 84 CR500? 😁

[@philtatnell3685]

Damn, just bought a JSV system for my ‘86 CR500. Wish I had of known PC was doing a pipe for the ‘86

[@CharlieFerer]

Good time to buy a backup pipe and silencer. You will always be able to sell it as well.

[@kidcurry3773]

Don't forget the CR250 I have 86 I would love to see them start making pipes for it

[@CharlieFerer]

1986 CR 250 pipes and silencers are available. Call and get your name on the list for those.

[@TopRevs]

I believe i have a pro circuit exhaust from the 80s on my 85 Cr 500

[@CharlieFerer]

That is pretty cool. 👍🏼

[@brettpaxson3176]

Hey Charlie, I am wondering what gpi radiator hoses you are running on this bike. I am in the process of updating my water pump housing on my 87 cr500. Thanks!

[@CharlieFerer]

[@larryk1978]

I had a CR500… damn thing almost killed me…. Several times!!

[@CharlieFerer]

Yes, they are a lot of fun but they are a handful.

[@eriklarkin4255]

I raced a cr 500 in 89 and it had the pipe and suspension done at pro circuit in Anthem. GfI series. I went from a cr 125 to the 500 never had a 250.

[@CharlieFerer]

Right on! 1989 CR 500 is a great bike!

[@eriklarkin4255]

Probably one of the funniest bike I ever owned. It would destroy hill side after the rains. I would do 3rd gear starts.

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

But the stock suspension is an absolute dumpster fire that eats itself...

[@SCORPi0N5150]

Hey Charlie, just wanted to say you're a hell of a lot more likeable guy than Ken Kaplan, the king of greed , who's had such a negative impact on the prices of us enjoying our hobby. Your passion & enthusiasm for the bikes (500s especially) seems genuine & I enjoy seeing the bikes in your collection & your content. Keep up the good work!

[@CharlieFerer]

Very kind of you and glad you are enjoying the content 👍🏼

I live right next to PC

[@CharlieFerer]

Very nice area and cool that Saleen is next store. We stopped by that location as well.
