So cool you decided to build it.  Coming along well.  I for sure can’t wait to see it finished.  I never seen a missile in person until this past summer (FULLBORE has one in their show room).

Swingarm pivot bolt showed up today. Engine is positioned to line up with the swingarm jack shaft sprocket. Time to fab a swing arm spacer and engine mounts.

Not sure why the picture is sideways?

CR500 electric start?

Unfortunately I deleted the video but Richard sent me one of a walk around of his cr500af right after he put the electric start kit on it. It's an awesome set up.

No progress pics yet. Been working on the rear suspension, long story short all the missile kits come with a custom dog bone for the rear shock which I did not get with the kit I purchased. Could not get the bike set up correctly using the stock ATC parts and the dog bone is the missing link. Yesterday I spoke with John Kite the original builder of these kits and he confirmed the custom dog bone. He also  told me he sold the business and shared the new owners info with me. missilekit.net is the new owners website. He is planning on building the kits and offer parts as well. He also said he has the waiting list from John of people who wanted to buy a kit. Have the dog bone ordered and on the way, Schmidty Racing has my rear shock and will rebuild. Working on fabrication of new frame rails but want the rear shock dialed in before I set the motor in place to build mounts.

Some new progress, have the new dog bone installed, motor is now placed and ready for new frame rails. Will bend them this weekend. Decided to take advantage of the BVC black Friday sale and ordered the inverted fork conversion kit, bought a set of crf250x forks, will have BVC shorten them. Ordering the Panthera electric start kit. Going all black, bought new plastics, oversized gas tank, black rims, new oversized radiators. The rear fender is the problem now, it's red. Anyone have any info on wrapping plastics with vinyl wrap? Tried a couple of local shops, they won't wrap atv plastics. May have to paint it. I will post some pics in the next day or two.
