I still have a lot to do to get it 'right'. Black hubs and bottom of forks, gold annodised upper fork tubes, carbon silencer and more to get it perfect.
Also just my $0.02, but to get it "right" you (and I also) still need to find the aluminum frame guards. The Works Connections ones available are close, but not exactly right. If you find a place to get them please post it!

The pipe - Pro Circuit no longer make a works pipe for this model but after contacting them and sending pics of the bike they said they could build a one-off works pipe for me which was cool. But I decided against it because, although it would be close, it's not "right". MC only ran a PC pipe when he raced Euro SX racesonly and the graphics etc on those bikes were completely different. So to get the right look I will probably go with the stock pipe with welds ground down, stripped of paint then polished similar to this:
The platinum pipe was put on as the first project was rushed in order to get the photos with MC at the Townsville SuperX in 08 and that was all that was available at the time.
You can still find PC works pipes out there on ebay. I found the pipe for my 96 brand new. I wanted a PC pipe because my 96 has a full PC motor so I wanted a matching pipe. On my 93 I used the stocker with the paint bead blasted off. Then I sanded/wire brushed the surface so it would look like a factory pipe. There is a few dings in it so I need a perfect stocker and then I'll grind down the seams and re-weld the pipe together to look exactly like the factory pipes.
The PW front number plates are a translucent plastic which is nearly identical to the factory number plates so I would run that if I were you. It is hard to actually get your hands on one though. Maybe you could transfer the background with the signature onto it from the UFO plate if you find one.
Make sure and post up some pics when you finish it!
By the way I think I got Works Connections last set of frame guards. I searched high and low for them and eventually got a set direct from WC. I got the WC skid plate from Chaparral
A little off topic, but has anyone tried to put a 96 spring on a 93 rear shock? Apparently they changed the inner diameter of the spring between those years because it won't fit. I looked on the parts fiche and sure enough, the upper and lower mounts for the spring are completely different. So does anyone know if I can just get these new mounts and use them on my 93 shock? Or am I better off scraping the 96 spring and using the 93 (and painting it the color I want).
On the subject of the UFO plastics, UFO also do a 'flouro' red front fender wich is what I have gone with. It's a perfct match for the 97 CR125 seat.
I'm going with the genuine pipe also (with the mods). Just trying to make it as authentic looking as possible. Gotta get my pipe looking like this...
Here's a close-up of the bike.

Other than finishing my Titanium parts, this is the last thing I needed for my CR. I just put on some of those carbon fiber looking airbox graphics as well. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Thanks and keep it up!
It's a thing of beauty that only you guys and me can understand. My wife certainly doesn't...
Now I just have to negotiate a deal on a certain Magnesium ignition cover....
The guy who makes them now also has the factory replica ignition covers also. He has them to fit CR250's and CR500's. Anybody interested in one please contact me and I will pass on his email address.
Again, these things are TOP QUALITY. Billet alloy and sandblasted to give them the factory HRC look.
And no I'm not working on comission from this guy. These clutch and ignition covers are exactly what this thread was all about to start with. I will be starting a new thread soon on my rebuild of my 96 CR250 MC replica. This time it will be perfect.
I also put carbon fiber airbox graphics on. All I need to do now is finish the Titanium axle....
