I may be trading an atv for a KX500 and would be interested in making a KX/CR hycrid. Has anyone heard of this being done?

No, but it can all be done depending on your skills and tools.

I've built a CRDX hybrid using a '01 CR frame and a '02 KDX200 engine. I'll be talking to the KX owner tomorrow and I'll go from there.
I have the tools and fabrication skills, but not the riding skills. I had a CR480 that scared me half to death.

Most KX500 conversions that I have seen are done on KX-F's. They are really neat.

I saw those on Service Honda's website.

That bailey themed cr5 is awesome....So is the KX500AF. Pretty penny though...Those guys certainely charge a premium for their labor. See the 250F in the 80 frame?

i built a kx 500 motor ina 2002 kx 250 chassis with kx 450f suspension and forks and trip clamp it is really awesome and the kx requires way less modding and no frame cutting

Jer500, did you make an extension bracket for your silencer at the rear most mount? Im building a 02 500 in a 04 KX250 frame and was thinking of making a bracket instead of cutting and welding the silencer. Makes replacement much easier in case of crash damage.
