Jason's 1997 CR Refreshening

Post by JBaze »

Begining the process. I want it to be more stock looking for one and Roosty and Bob hooked me up big time with the decompressor head! You guys are hands down true hoons thanks! I will be adapting a handle bar mounted actuator handle. We also ordered new UFO plastic kit and are also doing the fork seals. I'll post more pics as we go

What a girl! She gets pissed off if I don't let her turn the wrenches!

Better to be a dick-tater than a dick taster! As for the Canadian thing they make good bacon! No really though that was first class thanks.

Your on! It's only about 2 hrs drive. I made loaded potato soup for dinner, it will still be hot when you get here!
A CR500 is a thing of beauty whatever the frame is made of, but me, I'd rather ride a hoon!

Get her trained up right so she can make the transfer to street with you safely.

OMFG! That would be so awesome! Problem is, I made the big guy spend all our $ on the CR. I can wait though. As long as he has his bike, I'm happy. If all the cards fall into place at the right time, I'll get something.

I'm not sure I could ride anything but a Honda. I'm kind of prejudice. :P

I've got an 01 KDX220 for my oldest son. It is a fine piece of machinery indeed. I'd be content with it if it were my only ride.

I was only suggesting the XR for height reasons. I don't know how tall Mama is. It's kinda hard to tell from the pictures knowing that JBaze is fuggin huge.

If it's in decent shape, that's a STEAL right there.

:shock:

I'm 5'4" but I weigh so much I could probably make our 500 work it's ass off!

I'd have guessed 5'6" and that's just crazy talk right there. Do I need to bust out the video of my son's KX65 hauling my 210 lb butt up a steep hill?

Yeah, at 5'4" the KDX would be way too tall unless you were already an expert rider.
