ATC500R "Build Thread"

[JasonB]

OK so here is my attempt at a 500 hundo projectile. Frame and motor came from that King of Polishing Kings on the west coast Mr Clean. Awesome guy all around, thanks again for your help in getting me all this! I basically tore down my 310 bike for some of the major moving parts because i have other plans for that bike and want to make it my next project. This bike is being put together for Trikefest and will go as my Rat bike since there will be no polishing or powdercoating of ANY KIND prior to that punishment of Indiana Pipe came from FMNRD, it is a Bills pipe and I dig it. Plans will be to strip it down to bare metal and make her PURDY again. Motor is a CR500 from an 88, everything looks clean! Running a 39PWK carb on it and the +6 swinger from the 310. Pictured is also a Decompression Head so I can kick it without having to 'man up' every time. I still need to source a kicker. And I cant forget about JeffATC250R who freaking hooked me up with a custom made shifter for this monster! Planning to finish it up this week, here is the progress so far.

Very nice build. Can I ride it?

Also - any more thought about a different wider rear axle? Can't wait to see this one in person Pal!

[Swinger]

Sweet. Was waiting for your build to poke its head out so I can see what you got going on. Cant wait to see it run. Good job man

[JasonB]

thanks Tim! Ya you can ride it! Going to cost you a BL Lime though



thanks Swinger!



Ya shes not a pretty bike by any means, nor is this a top tier build this go around. Just the trial run for me at building one of these beasts! Stoked to kick her over this weekend for the first time

Right on man. I still want a 500, but have zero use for one.

[keister]

Glad to see it coming together. You should be able to idle right up Devil's Backbone with that.

Jason, you are venturing into something I have long pondered, but never had the cojones to try! VERY cool! I know there are plenty of others who have done this successfully as well.... Guess I should start looking around for a frame!!


Quick question: what kind of changes did you make to bolt the half-liter in??

Looking forward to hearing about this one and the Fabio/TecateDan 5-hundies running at TF!

And I have to add, Mr. Clean helped me out HUGE too! Great guy!

[oeduardo67]

Very nice! Hope to hear how it runs. How it handles and how you like it.

Thumbs up!

[fire1]

Great Job ...look forward to seeing it done!

[Daddio]

Cool! Go big or go home.....so the saying goes. I see you chose to go Big!
