I know there is a long thread on this but I was looking to get some more recent feedback. I would like to purchase this for my 02 CR but I am a little hesitant. Now that's its been out a little while how has it stood up? How much have people been paying? Anyone feel like they been screwed in getting this/ disappointed? Any info is good.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback!
Getting the rad shrouds to slide perfectly into the airbox covers takes a little patience, and they may pop out on the first ride. When that happened, I loosened everything up and readjusted it and it hasnt budged since. They just have to settle.
The new seat that I have is pretty hard compared to the first seat that they sent. It got a little softer after it broke in but it never really bothered me. I talked with the company about it and they are working on getting it softer.
One thing I dont like about this kit is the piece of plastic (or whatever it is) that fits between the rear fender and the airbox directly above the back wheel. Its a little thin piece of material that you zip tie in to cover that little gap. Mines still in good condition but it just seems kinda cheap. You only notice it if you stick your head under the fender and look at it. You can see pics that I posted in the earlier thread that Kawi008 posted.
Your air filter will definitely get more dirty each ride, especially in sand or mud. The side number plates dont connect directly to the subframe like the stock ones do, so their is a gap in between the new side number plates and the subframe that allows roost from the back wheel to get sucked up in there. Its nothing detrimental, and doesnt really bother me since I change my air filter every ride anyways.
It also makes the bike feel skinnier from the seat to the rad shrouds. And you can slide up farther towards the tank, so i love that.
All in all Id definitely say its worth the money, especially since theyve dropped the price. Plus it looks sweet! And that makes you faster right? Heres some pics of mine.
Bike looks great by the way.

That said the conversion kit for the KX's look good.
Im with you
Of all my bikes, I can't believe how skinny my Cr 250 is. Why ruin the feel and look of a bike, to make it look like an outdated 4 stroke? - just my opinion.
I opted to run the 2017 Crf front fender and cycra stadium plate for a tasteful face lift:
