2000 custom Ural

My beautiful 0ne of a kind Croznyi (Russian for red) is for sale. She started out as a 2000 Knight

Sentry. out of Florida. She was a 650 cc then., had her power train (motor transmission and rear end) changed in 2004 to a 750cc.by Gene at Holepaw in Florida. I also had the custom red paint job done at the same time. Although I got a good motor the power was not enough for the hills etc.I wanted enough power to cruise at 70 and not worry about the hills. I started adding all the chrome I could at this stage. I also found a 50's fairing that came off a BMW that was on ebay (it fit right on). I was lucky as I have not seen one since. Still not satisfied ;I contacted RICHARD WINTER one of the few (and probably the best) to do a BMW engine conversion. I bought a 1978 1000cc with less than 40 thousand miles on it. Then I took every thing to NC and Richard went to work. He had some great ideas as well so they went into the makeover of Croznyi. I took her to Europe and she was the star there with all the other side cars I met. If you notice herlicense plate is European and goes with her to the new lucky owner. There is no way I can remember all the things that were done to Croznyi in the time that Richard and I worked on her (over a year)Here is what I do remember.

1. Front forks drilled to make drainage holes with bolts so you do not have to take the forks apart to change the oil.

2.Modify the front brake with aTriumph Teflon cable and BMW parts. You can lock up the front wheel since this was done.

3. Add running lights with a separate switch.

4. Recessed the speedometer into the headlight (I think it looks a lot better) and also put LED lights in the it and the dash.

5. Installed warning beeper when the turn signals are used.

6. Installed a 12 volt receptacle and changed the whole electrical system to spade fuses.

7. Replaced the original light switch so now you can turn your headlight off or on etc.

8. Put on handle bar set backs and modified the turn tensioner in the triple tree.

9. Added waterproof speakers and amplifier for music etc.

10. Modify and put on Russian Wolfe gas tank (it not only looks better but holds more gas)

11. Modify and put on HD air seat !!

12. Add triumph turn signals and dual Italian horns.

13. Change all turn and stop signals to chrome.

14. Change the engine to a 1000cc 65 HP BMW !! Then modify the tranny to mate with the BMWand fabricate a custom air intakefor the BMW engine.

15. Change the BMW alternator to updated 450 watts (this alone cost more than 500 dollars not

counting the installation).

16. Modify the rear drive with four bolts instead of two to handle the extra power.

17. Put on a new brighter headlight.

18. Put on a chrome lockable handle for the side car trunk

19. carpet the complete side car.

20. undercoat the fenders and the bottom of the tub

21. add extra fasteners to the side car so it cannot flip forward in an accident. (check to see if the

new ones have it!)

22.illuminated oil pressure gage (Do the new ones have it?)

23.Reverse hand shifter

24. BMW mufflers.

25. Custom basket and extra fuel container for touring with a lockable cable to the bike.

26. Croznyi has a new expensive gel battery!! My last one lasted 6 years.

I am sure there is more but you get the picture. This is a special Ural that has had a lot of time and money invested to make her as she is. Some one needs to enjoy all of this and show her off. I am83 now and not doing this anymore. I could go on with more but by now you must realize this is not your average Ural! In fact I don't know of another one quite like it in the country. So if you are looking for a beautiful custom Ural that will OUT RUN A NEW ONE: Here it is! I will need a transfer paypal of 500.00 or a money order within 48 hours once sold. I will not ship but will help. Note: the mileage listed is what I have put on since the conversion.
