Are you still planning on selling the bike? No way I could build something that pretty without enjoying it for a while.

Unfortunately, ya. If no one wants to pay for it then that’ll be my sign it should stay home Grinning

Thank you. I think some people just downvote anything about air forks Silly

The rear is stock with CRF rotor but the front is an entire CRF front end, so the forks and caliper are off a newer CRF. That setup with the newer bracket fits the current OEM CRF rotor (260mm). Not sure if it's best but nice upgrade!

Ok, did you notice a difference in braking power on the rear ? Did you get a chance to ride your sweet cr125 yet ?

Unfortunately, I only started it in driveway and ensured everything worked/dialed in the carb. Bike is for sale! Intended on holding onto it but the build was started just before I found out I was having a daughter so she gets more of my time now instead of bikes onlyGrinning

I might be in Florida March and April, I,LL keep an eye open for your bike. Should be easy to spot, with the different forks. So sharp.
