Excellent Idea!!! I've buttoned her up for some money shots, still have some more work to do though

He's right. I had no idea about it until I saw it in moto.

I apologize I dropped the ball on this thread, the bike is finished and we pulled the winning ticket today at the Unadilla MX Rewind. Congratulations to Mark Edwards, you are the winner of the Doug Henry tribute bike!!!

Here are some shots I took with the Unadilla valley in the back ground.

To say that I’m honored and a bit freaked out that I won this bike is and understatement. I’m such a huge fan of Doug’s, as well as 1990’s era CR125’s... I just can’t believe it. Thank you Aaron. I promise you that your artistry will be well taken care of!

Thanks Mark, I'm happy its going to a good home and will be appreciated!! It will be a great addition to your collection.

I'd like to catch the build thread up to where the bike is now. I feel like I left a great chunk of the build story out.

The cylinder for this build is very special, as you said Mark "unobtainable". When my friend Gregg heard about the build he offered to help out. I told him when I got the engine apart I'd bring the cylinder over to see if he could do some porting on it. As soon as I had it apart and gave it a look over I knew we were in trouble. The Cylinder that came off had been sleeved and had some very aggressive porting already done. I brought it over to Gregg to get his thoughts and he suggested that we find a different cylinder and offered to call around to find one. One of his calls was over to ProCircuit and Mitch just happened to have a cylinder stashed away. The cylinder is brand new with PC porting, there is still sharpie marker on the cylinder from testing. I'm still blown away by how rare this engine is, Mark you truly are getting a one of a kind bike.

The bike itself, AND being photographed at 'Dilla is AWESOME. Super cool prize and I'm sure it will be cherished for a long time. This thread delivers!

I was SURE I'd win! 😜 I would've rode her like a scalded horse, too. Sweet bike anyway and proceeds going to a great cause is even better. Maybe do another, a Doug Henry CR250? I'd buy a ticket before it was built.

This turned out phenomenal and it was for an amazing cause. You should be very proud of the work that went into this. So glad the airbox worked out well and has a home on this build!

This build has officially come to end for me. My buddy Hazen picked the bike up Friday on his way South and it has been delivered to its new owner. It's definitely landed in good hands!
