Great read. I'd thought "if it's Snell it's swell" ... now I think that "swell" may be a verb.

just put race tech gold valves in and new fork springs for my size and rebuilt the back shock and charged with new nitrogen, new tires and throttle cable, fucking thing stuck wide open going up a jump at blue diamond race track damn near broke my neck, i weigh about 265 and it fucking goes boy, and put new reeds to, i want to do the mod over to an 250aluminum frame, but i love it was thinking about trying to get 2500 for it

IMO the swap is not worth it.At 265 lbs I'd be scared of the aluminum frame breaking.At 150 lbs I'd be hella concerned.With a good strong neck the bike will way 20 some pounds MORE then your steelie.If you want a good builder check out Stouffers or Stoffers Racing outa CA.
IMO,put a newer cr 250 ignition in your bike and yer done!

I know snell sure seems quieter.
I did not know lids were made for the impact of gravity from head to earth. It did say snell was better suited to racing apps iirc.
I remember reading too, maybe not that article, that dot certification is basically on the honor system.

Never ridden a ski I bet that rocks. Used to own like the whole sled necks series.
Always thought service Honda's were pretty sick....snapping frames no bueno some gixxers had that problem....and the cr500 would be the ultimate supermoto and offer a real advantage as a street bike in being without a power valve and in my mind have more length between rebuilds?

I've seen in done, not really my cup of tea. I prefer the look and sound of a big V-twin when it comes to choppers.

I doubt it will corner but a turbo sportbike motor is a very proven and reliable drag powerplant.....Iheard some of those guys only rebuild once per season.
