@carsonbrown_910: The 1992 WR500 in action! This all started when Steve Lazar messaged me saying he and his friend had a WR500 in boxes down in California, and that we could have the project to keep if we picked it up. His only request is that we get it together and that I rip it! Absolutely pumped on how this thing turned out. They already had some of the hard to get parts collected for this bike before we got our hands on it. We sent the frame to American Powder-Coating to get done up, and with help from @MotoSport.com and Vintco USA it all started coming together. The engine rebuilt, all the bearings replaced, the wheels and bars sent out to get anodized turquoise to match the bike, Bolt Motorcycle Hardware with all the new bolts, fresh Dunlop tires, Renthal goodies, @Maxima Racing Oils fluids in everything, the suspension got a rebuild, Works Connection clutch perch and lots of cleaning on everything. We had everything ready to go back together, so over Thanksgiving Duane Brown (my dad) put in some serious work getting it all buttoned up and ready to rip! Yamaha only made this bike for 2 years (1992/1993) so that Damon Bradshaw and Doug Dubach could race the 500 nationals. Yamaha was worried about sales at the time since big bores were not in high demand, so they sold it as an off-road model (WR) in hopes to sell more of them. Who thinks we need to get Damon Bradshaw and Doug Dubach to spin some laps on this thing? @Red Bull Motorsports #WR500 #yamaha #2stroke #bigbore 🎥: @Reed Stever
