Welcome to my first build forum, dont expect many long explanations or brand new parts! The goal is to build a display bike for my company without breaking the bank. Im starting out with nothing but a 03 cr250 frame and a shop full of parts iv collected over the years of owning hondas.
first off the frame was powdercoated by tim at Willamette powderfab in tagent oregon


i stripped down a blown up 03 motor iv had in the back of the shop for years, installed a new top end and ceraked everything. titanium nuts and bolts where all ordered directly from china.


i had a set of early model crf forks laying around that had a couple cracks in the hard anno. since theyre no longer structurally sound i figured they would be perfect to cerakote and use for a show bike. i bolted them into a set of black powdercoated 05 cr250 triple clamps off one of my other bikes


i cerakoted the straightest oem radiators i had then installed them, the forks, and a black 02 swingarm i had on a different bike


some more Chinese titanium


when logos just dont match your color scheme.. good thing i have a vinyl printer


the yellow spring wasnt cutting it and powdercoating 1 part wasnt really practical so i did the unthinkable and used spray paint on a motorcycle. i also stole a set of wheels off one of my other CRs.

Why do a top end if it’s just for display?

Because it just wouldn't be right if it didn't run

Wait, didn't you have another account? Just picked up a new YZ recently?

Plus, it's only the forks that are the issue right?

I'm sure you could pick up another set very easily if you ever did want to ride it - not that you do.

I love this build, looks great. Which vendor did you order the Ti nuts and bolts from if that's not a secret?

No secrets here, i just measured each bolt then ordered the correct size on ebay from a Chinese vendor. Price difference is remarkable and i could get them already heat treated for the look i was after
