Very nice, did you go with a 19" rim or stick with the 18? Is the shock body cerakote? Keep up the great work.

She's beautiful buddy. Way nicer than my build. For a second there I thought you'd flown here to GA and stole my wheels, but mine are mounted with MX33s Wink

Yeah, I decided to try out the Hoosier's to save 3lbs rotating mass on the 125.

I'm putting your tank on this thing though Smile

Man I hope that thing cleans up for y'all. I am certain it will and probably take half the hours I put in my 87 tank.

billy,

Where did you get those seat covers? I've seen a lot of them so someone must make them, but I haven't found the source yet. Let me know.

Your build looks awesome!!! I've got some HRC style frame guards that would compliment your bike nicely!!

Holy cow. Your bike is beautiful. I am finishing my 1989 CR125 and wondered where you ended up picking up the wheels and frame guards.

Beautiful bike.
