Hi guys, new user here. I recently purchased a 1992 cr250 and am just looking for the original decals and original pink looking plastic for it and have no idea where to begin. I've found some plastics but they are the multi year applications and I know there was a slight difference between 92 and the others. Is it a big enough difference to really notice? As far as the decals, I have found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi crcoop! Nice find, and welcome!! Im restoring a 93 so were kind of in the same boat. Evo Mx has all the graphics including the swingarm decals for your bike. I ordered a set from them for my 93 and they look awesome!! Better quality than oem also. Good luck and be sure to show us pics of your progress!!! Love the 90's bikes!!

The 92 was a big re-design year for Honda. The bike has a great engine, but has a design problem that caused the clutch
to fry prematurely. Honda issued a TSB with a fix that involved drilling a couple of extra holes in the Left side center case
to allow more oil to flow to the clutch. It's a simple fix and if you're interested, PM me and I'll send you some pictures showing
where to drill the holes. The problem was fixed by 93. Another problem area was a tendency to crack the swingarm where
the cast section and the extruded section were welded together. The fix for this was a larger diameter lower chain roller
from an '89 CR250 and to run more chain slack. As for the plastic, yes the 92 had a slightly different shade of Flourescent
Red than the later years, but it was also thinner (to save weight). Unfortunately, it was too thin and didn't hold up. Honda
increased the thickness for 93. If you want the best color match, stay away from OE Honda plastic. They have changed
the color formula over the years and anything still available is no where near the original color. Your best bet is UFO, and
order directly from UFO to be sure you get the correct color. Schwanz22 hooked you up with the best graphics info.
Good luck.
