500X height measurements and other misc pictures.

[Billy Golightly]

MRATC and others have asked me about ground clearence and seat heights and such. Heres some links to some pictures of just the 500X and then some with the measurements and such. The plate thats sitting next to the level (What I used to measure with) is sitting ontop of the little neck in the 350X gas cap so that its easier to understand where the cross refrence point from there to the level is. Please remember that this is all with the stock 350X suspension. There will be a slight increase when the long travel CR500 suspension is finished on it but I'm confident it won't be much. Also due to the fact that the stock suspension thats on it now is in pretty sorry shape (Rear shock is blown and the seals on the forks are gone) It sags a good 3 or better inches when I get on it, but I didn't bother taking a picture of that or even consider it since it shouldn't sag any anyways when someones on it if its setup right.

This is the plastic right behind the seat where the black mudflap peice would bolt on.

This is the height from the floor of the shop to the bottom of the footpeg. Its a little bit higher then the bottom of the frame obviously but you can't get the level inbetween the botom and the shop floor, and its really hard to hole a tape measure in place and take a picture :P

I'm not even real sure why I took this one, I guess I figured someone would be interested in knowing how high the fuel was going to be up. I'm not sure what the stock height is but I'm sure its a bit lower then that. I had to raise the back of the tank about 2 or so inches to keep it from hitting the top of the carb. If I get a different setup I can probably go back down to a near stock height.

This is the height of the frame at the back where the grab bar would bolt on.

Now with this one its really hard to tell where the edge of the seat is and where the other side is, but you can kinda tell where the edge is at if you look close.
