DEP still makes a really nice unfinished pipe & silencer, certainly for the '95 (not sure about the '96). Other than the "DEP" stamped into the expansion chamber, it actually looks more factory than the PC pipe. I just bought the unfinished pipe/silencer combo for my '89 CR250 project and had them in my hands three days later. Top quality welds and stampings.
Well I pulled the covers off the CR today to do a couple of small updates. The graphics are taking forever unfortunately and I've had trouble finding motivation to do anything to it. So today I threw on the chain, frame guards and skid plate.

I've basically hit a brick wall until some deliveries arrive, and my powdercoating gets back. When my Rims and Davids parts arrive, I will be able to do a bit more.
Can I ask, why you actually need new graphics? I looks shit hot, just the way it is.
What brand of rear sprocket is that ?
The rear sprocket is an old school Renthal, the same sprocket they used in 95/96. I didn't think I would ever find one of these but a good guy in the U.S hooked me up with it. It was only slightly used but came up like new with some fine wet'n'dry.
I have always wondered, do you have any of the matching gear mc wore? I have tried and tried myself but no luck.

Next, the engine... *gulp*

if you ever have questions or need to get parts from the US just hit me up, i know this build like the back of my hand and work for a shop that can get just about anything thats available
I hit the rust with an array of abrasives, brillo, sand paper, scotch-brite, etc along with mineral spirits and WD-40. Done mostly by hand to eliminate any tooling marks.
personally im running IMS Pro Series on mine, im going to paint the polished part black so they dont stand out. I plan on riding the bike and the OEM pegs from that era are just way too skinny for my size 13 Fox Instinct boots
I guess I'll get the gear shifter, too!
Still, I'm gonna go with the OEM 'pegs, since they are accurate and a whole lot cheaper... not to mention, easier to find.
Ti is the way to go, unfortunatly i have a 93 frame and Lightspeed does not make a peg for mine. i have heard that you can buy the YZ set and grind the pin at the base of the mount down to fit. at $199 its a big chance to take grinding down pegs, so i went the IMS Pro series route
On the bike im building i have alot of things that MC didnt have, but i dont really care because i think it looks way tricker
IE: Aluminum subframe, Carbon Fiber Clutch and Ignition covers. im not going to post any more pictures of mine for awhile because i might be having a magazine article done on my build
I've been poring over this thread for about a week now,.. man is there some GREAT INFO AND PICS here!!!!!!!! cudo's for all the work and info you guys have sifted through and posted here!!!
I'm running a '93 CR250 and I'm going to be doing the McGrath/ Team Honda sudo replica thing - but it will be a rider not a show bike by any means. I've got an order placed with Throttle Jockey already but I need to get back with them on a couple of specifics such as name and what not. After reading the post about the color correct graphics being made up by another company,.. I'm wondering if I should hold off and go that route (?),.. I always thought it was kind of weird that on most of the McGrath replicas I've seen that the graphics didn't match the Flo Red front fender very well (???)
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I move forward in this project this winter,..and the guys over at the ATM forums have been more than helpfull over the past year pointing me in the right direction(s) towards this rebuild and just the bike in general (Thanks Dogger and guys if you're lurking here! - CamP too for some more info on the fork swap !!)
My '93 is going to be mostly a woods machine (Lots of riding done down at "Flat River" in Park Hills Mo.) ....
Thus far I've mostly been just getting it rideable .... New '99 Air Striker Carb, V3 Reeds, Kustom Kraft cylinder, suspension rebuilds/revalving/respringing,... stuff like that..
Thanks again guys for all of your hard work and dedication to "This" bike!!!!

As a thought, if you've recently repainted your frame, maybe it's possible that the hole might be filled with paint?
