Hey guys,
Have just picked up these 2x rough machines, and thought id document the rebuild process. 1996 CR125 and CR250. Both similar condition, and needing alot of love. No real plan of attack yet, but will be aiming to rebuild close to OEM spec. Maybe the addition of gold rims? Undecided whether to do 2x the exact same, or slightly different. See how we go.
Everything there besides exhausts.







God speed. That's a lot of corrosion.
Godspeed on removing axle, swingarm and linkage bolts. Good on you for bringing these back to their glory, best of luck!
Didn't manage to add text until now. Just wanted to give an example on how gold wheels matches with stock look.
Good luck with the builds!
Rough shape, but nothing a sand blaster, vapor blaster and some powder coat can’t fix up…

Good luck! I have done a few that were cleaner than these, but not by much…..they will test your patience….
