Feel free to correct me, with the 250 frame it is pretty much plug and play. The 125 has a different cradle. Would seem like a simple fix, just bend new lower cradle tubes? Unless I am missing something?

I wanted to keep a bit of the older look but make it a bit more user friendly for me to ride. I need to mess with my caliper bracket a bit, it sits a bit close.

After a minor set back, all is well with the current progress.

I have a machinist that can make a few sets, do I have the OK to use the design for the Gen1 and have them made up? Or do I need the go ahead from someone?

I will look into it. Not too many places I can send it here, that I would feel confident with.

I have a set of cases that someone marred up a bit trying to get the cyl off. Any recommendations on a source to get them welded up and decked, possibly have new studs installed?


Thanks in advance.

I ordered a set of conversion bearings for the '86 the other day. I tracked down a set of '92-'94 clamps and forks. The main reason for this swap was so that I could get the correct spring rate for me. As well as a better front brake set up. All was well until I opened the box for the lower bearing....

Thanks!

Has anyone run a current CRF or newer CR shifter on their '85-'90 CR 500's? I'd like to be able to run a Hammerhead extended or something along those lines? Any info is appreciated.

I used a '91 cover, fit with no issues. Not sure if you already got squared away?

Right on! I checked on springs, no luck for me. Thanks for the heads up on it.

MOTOPRO can probably make those for you!

Late reply but I modified 06 yzf pegs for my 86.

I am currently on the hunt for 92-94 cr250/500 forks. I have a set that will be going on this. I need to find 1 or 2 more sets.

Check MOTOSPORT, I have had great luck with some of the harder to find parts.

Thanks!

Hello, crunch time here and I seem to be missing some info. What are the correct spacers for my swap? If there is a factory number or just a measurement that anyone can throw my way, I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

the wheel should, im not sure on the caliper? just measure the center to center on the two mounting bolts.

Chances are looking good that the 85' will be for sale. I do plan on keeping parts, engine, wheels and poss the shock. It currently has usd's but i will include the original forks. If there is any interest let me know. Would like to part with it in on swoop.

Well, it has happened. The oul pump on mr 04' crf 450 has locked up. I bought the bike to make it an AF.Was told that it wouldnt run, tinkered with it and it has been trouble free for over a year and a half. I am just wondering of any issues with the 04' crf that I need to look for? Anything people ...

I would be interested in the forks and clamps! If you wouldnt mind , PM me a price. Thanks!

Same here if you dont mind.

I have an older WP shock on my 85' 500. I'd like to get it rebuilt and run it on my 86'. Any help as to where I can go for parts if needed?
Thanks

I think I run a 90' shaft in one of my 85's. My 86' has a 90' cover on it. It is on here, $200.00 86'. I have seen 90' style covers for arounr $100.
