Goodluckmonkey Added a reply to Peak Honda CR125 1991 project
4/11/2014 2:00pm I've got an easy pull clutch lever to go in. The hole in the lever for the cable nipple is nearer the pivot, which alters the lever ratio. Gotta be easier than chopping the lever the other end. There may not be sufficient clearance to the ignition cover either, as it already has a bulge there to provide clearance.

4/10/2014 2:48pm I'm impressed with how quickly this build is moving. Did the CRF pegs drop straight in? I put YZ250F pegs and springs in mine as I had some damaged WR ones on the shelf that fitted when offered up, and didn't want to gamble on crf pegs not fitting.

4/10/2014 11:59am If this turns out half as nice as the KX we're in for a treat.

4/10/2014 2:13am As a teen, it was the shape for a CR I always thought coolest, and it seems we have a good few of them on here, and a few builds currently in progress. Bikes like Ove's 250, and the various Peak replicas really stand out as being some of the best looking 90's stuff on here in my opinion. Let's...

4/10/2014 12:53am If you swap to crf clamps, you need top and bottom, and the wheel spindle, as the distance between fork centres is greater on the crf. You do get the benefit of rubber mounted bar clamps though. The cr caliper should swap in, but you need the correct caliper bracket for the forks you use. Crf's changed in '06 from...

4/9/2014 2:41pm Cheers for the pic Ove. That's pretty much where it's going, although I have considered different colour rims on it, as I always liked the red/gold combo. I'll end up making the little brother to your bike at this rate, but they do say that 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' Putting the motor together tonight, as I just...

4/9/2014 11:29am Totally agree barkhard. Nothing quite as cool as a retro bike that can cut it with the modern stuff. I'm building a '91 cr134 with twin chamber showas as a hare and hounds race bike. I'm building the bike I wanted as a teen. The modern bikes do nothing for me. The bodywork is too angular and busy looking. Ove's...

4/9/2014 5:53am The bikes look great. Are they all for show, or do any of them get used?

4/8/2014 4:28am http://shop.marksman-ind.com/99-3540-5-30x47x12-taper-roller-bearing-32… I believe this was the bearing I used. Unfortunately I don't have the information saved on my phone any more.

4/8/2014 4:10am My phone's messing about. But you can follow this link. I worked out what I wanted, and found the bearing through a UK supplier. When it arrived, it was an allballs bearing. https://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion As you can see from the picture above, the outer race is really skinny. The inner portion of the bearing is standard however. The bearing also comes...
Goodluckmonkey Added a reply to Honda's First MX bike. Its not what you think!
4/8/2014 1:13am I think we all share your enthusiasm on here. I love the stories that can be pieced together from bike archaeology. Like a cool version of time team. The bike looks so dated because it's a 50's bike, but with the obvious Japanese quality that has made them world beaters. It's not visually a million miles from a newer Greeves...

4/7/2014 3:56pm all Balls racing sell a conversion bearing specific to the job, which allows you to use the CRF yokes. 
I made up a steering stop extension, so that I can always trim it back off to return the frame to standard if I decide to go back to OE forks (I've had this bike 14 years now)

4/7/2014 3:06pm Aha! A resto-mod. Even better! My '91 125 has a CRF250R front end in it. Just a top bearing swap got it all together. What did it take to install the WP's?

4/4/2014 3:45am It's hard to appreciate how much that hill is just a big drop-off without standing at the foot of it for yourself.

4/3/2014 1:29pm Wow! That was quick. Did if need much, or was it just a quick check over and a piston?

3/31/2014 11:04am Hope it's ok when you get inside the motor. I used to have a SPES pipe on my '89 YZ125. Seemed good.
