Ti so beautiful I've used it around the controls, clutch perch, front brake master cyclinder ect... sexy stuff hopefully later on down the track I can fill her with more just trying to finish the bike at the moment so will have to wait

You can also see the filler cap I coated in cerakote





Got a bit done over the last couple of months in between the birth of my first born.. pumped on being a moto dad haha but anyways.



Tossed out the stock skinny pegs (that where fucked anyways) for a set of 2016 crf oem pegs, purchased off a fellow vital member

Well that was a lot of fun

Pretty well finished my build for now, just need to bleed the brakes and rip this thing. I'm looking forward to the next build (94 cr250)

Congrats on a healthy newborn . and a very good looking bike. Eric Gorr did the motor on my 06 CR and turned it into a mid-range powerhouse, I personally think the last generation CR's are the best handling bike's once the suspension is dialed in. The CRF front fender is a good look also, guess I'll be placing an order.

Agree. Been riding mx for 4 decades & have yet to ride on a better chassis, suspension & engine combo than the 02-07 3rd gen AF CR250r..

No disrespect to EG, but I've ridden 250 2t's tuned from other tuners that would have given that engine a broader powerband. The case reed engine has a better hop up potential due to the engine design over the more traditional cyl / reed induction fed design.

If you can give me a name of a tuner that can make the bike more linear I would appreciate it. Honestly, the bike now is too strong in the mid range and wears me out quick, lol, but it's a fact. No disrespect to Gore from me also, But I think there was changes to EG's operation a few year's back, and possibly customer's order's are Not being done by EG....from what I've read.

have you tried a heavier flywheel or a rekluse exp. 3.0 Core to help?

Terry Varner, Watts Perfections & PC to name a few.
They're all reputable tuners & have good feedback on social media. I'm running a PC cyl. mod with a head cut for higher octane on an 03 that has a very strong broad power band.
I also know a guy running an 06 engine done by Chad Watts that also has a very strong broad powerband.
I found a Doma to be a very good pipe to run that will provide a linear feel. It has a good transition from low-mid in comparison to the others. The HGS pipe is suppose to be very similar in performance.

I think I'll give Varner a go, it's time for a tear down anyway. Thanks H4L, much appreciated. To OP....Please post your finished bike in the Kick Ass Two Stroke section, it definitely deserves to be there.
