This bike was meant to be riden. Honda doesn't make electrical parts for these anymore, so let's make it better... more reliable... and faster. I took a complete ignition system off a YZ250 and grafted it on. Way better timing ccurves, and I can use a power jet carb.

I appreciate it man! It’s been a long process and a lot seemed to come together at the end. Based on what I’ve felt so far on the turn track I made in the backyard (shout out to my wife for being cool with it), it’s the best turning bike I’ve owned. I haven’t made any suspension adjustments yet because...

Great job Dan. I love the color combos brother. With all that time you put into her, along with some modern enhancements (forks mainly), I can only imagine how it sounds. Quite jealous you’re already rippin on it…. Thank you for sharing.

Looking good! I still ride and occasionally race my 96 when I am down in Florida. Keep an eye kn the swingarm weld just behind the cast portion, known to crack.

Alright guys, it’s been a long time since I made any progress or posted anything about the bike. Been getting ready for a 6 month deployment so family has taken precedence. I did get my graphics and number plate backgrounds in today though. Also, I bought new hubs, rotors, and gold excel rims. Those will be laced this weekend so...
Looks like I grabbed some before pictures and after. I got lazy and just selected this bunch. These appear to be after I have removed casting lines on the cylinder and prior to smoothing/polishing. There are images of the smoothing work that I did. Since this was the last motor of the four I managed to really smooth as much as I could. Various wheels on a Dremel is what I used. My method for cleaning out circular passageways. I wonder how many who build their own motors go to this effort. Cylinder is ready for tape off and spraying...

Yes, a DG pipe. I don’t even remember which one of these had this originally. I believe the first bike I bought of these mid 90 CRs had the original pipe. The other five all had aftermarket. I was able to buy two more original pipes. I would prefer to have all these bikes with the stock pipes. The DG was straighter and gave me few issues. These are mid 90 era CR125 radiator grills. They work well with simple modifications. Best of all they are new and can be readily purchased. I’m super pleased I had the presence of...

Bead blast the metal plates… Just do it! I must have cleaned up the impeller and cerakoted it. Looks like I made sure to get the material coated on the surfaces where the fluid flows. Will it run cooler? No. But will look new. Much more important. Just a shot to show how I darkened the clutch cover. I went even darker on the 1993 cover. I have progressively been darkening this outside cover. Too much work to go back and re-shoot the other covers already done. Shot some ceramic clear on those also. Ready for the lower end. I...
