Gen 1 & 2 anything interchangable??

Post by smokindodge »

I am wondering if the subframe, swingarm, etc. are the same on a gen 1 and 2? I have found some hellacious deals on a couple of gen 2 cr125's. I am a puss and like the gen 1 conversion :lol: so I was wondering if I bought the gen 2 if I could fleabay a gen 1 frame for cheap and make it work?? Anybody tried anything like this??

well from what I've messed with - I think the swing arms are interchangeable. Subframe - no. But everything else is cool. You can use Shanman's mounts on it as well. And the swingarm spacing is the same, too. Gen1/2 250, right?
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...
