Hi guys ! Thought id try out this newfangled build section. I have been building this 95 cr125 for about 2 years now. Between working a full time job at a ktm and husky dealer and buying a new TC 125 i just haven't had the time to work on it. I know, excuses excuses haha. Ive been piecing it together these last couple months and its now fully running and working. Wish i took some pics of all nut and bolt restoration process but you can see from the before pics of how bad this poor bike got neglected. Once i washed and scrubbed off all of the dirt, spray paint and layers of green powder coat, i started to see at one point someone did actually care for it. Between the PC steel pegs, Boysen clutch and ignition covers, AC aluminum subframe it had some nice parts on it. The cases were split and left case was repaired from the chain snapping and hitting the case, new hot rod bottom end kit took care of the bottom end. Cylinder was honed and matched up to a B OEM honda piston and i cleaned the slag off the ports. Head was also resurfaced but was already in great condition.
Some before pics. I actually junked the original frame because the owner took a grinder to the frame and there on was basically ruined.
The bottom pic is how it sits now. The whole graphic kit and seat cover came from throttle jockey. I just recovered the seat and re-riveted the seat brackets. Bike currently has 96 cr250 forks and 97 shock. Maybe later on ill put twin chamber forks and crf brakes but as for now ill keep this stuff since the 46's are already an upgrade over the puny 43mm forks. Original forks were ruined internally and the 97 shock came from a friend. Every bolt was cleaned, refinished or replated. The frame was powder coated white and the power valve cover, clutch cover and ignition cover were powder coated wrinkle black. Just got my new Clarke tank in going to install my tank decals this weekend. Still waiting on my new PC works pipe and im going to send out my new R304R shorty to Pro circuit to put a stinger on it. I might sell it next year but not until i ride unadilla rewind on her ! Ill keep the thread updated with little things that i add.
