Just started so no pics yet, but my dad and I are (race) restoring my 1974 Honda CR-125 Elsinore. It's all red like Marty's was. Aluminum swingarm, RC style red plastic tank, tall seat, vintage Renthals, Works shocks, DG pipe, etc. Considering a later model front end and up-pipe...

My dad and I are about to start restoring his 84 CR 125. We just pulled it out of the back of garage and rode it a few weeks ago and the fun should begin soon. But no pics yet.

I just bought this 1978 RM400, it's kind of ruff but it actually runs good. I plan on getting
the suspension rebuilt, new brakes,cables and anything else it needs just to race a vintage race. I have a few buddies that race and it sounds like a blast! Anybody know if this bike was competive back then??

I recently started on a 1978 Harley MX250 I have all the major parts and most everything powder coated or painted. Still tracking down some small stuff.

Mine is of a bit different era. But like most people, it's the bike I always wanted as a kid.

Very cool newmann! Moto-x fox bikes were the coolest in my book.

Joe the 125 is looking really great. It's nice to see all the parts come together at last.
I was curious how you were going to seal the finned cap to the head and make it leakproof?
In all your research on this bike did anyone mention if FOX ever watercooled a 250?
I know there would be no performance gain but it sure would look trick.
Would you have any objections to me making that same head for my 250?
If so I would understand but after seeing it on your bike I'm green with envy.
