93 cr250 restomod project
Here is what I am starting with
Yes the triple clamps are spray painted blue...
Missing a pipe, silencer, radiators and plastics, everything else seems there, 2 sets of forks, black rear 19 inch wheel and a box of random parts, some that don't go with the bike. Not sure what direction to go, already did a mcgrath replica bike, so maybe a restomod with a fork swap, who knows, gotta blast the frame and make sure there are no cracks or split welds, engine will need a rebuild, possibly a sleeve, but I like projects like this, it's basically a blank canvas.
Cheers Mason

The Shop
Anyway I got it assembled in to roller so it takes up less space. I suppose it's time to order a flash orange tank and build the rest around that!
Cheers!
Here are all the above pieces assembled, the linkage included was wrong so I looked on eBay and people wanted 179 bucks... But I stumbled across one on Craigslist with a rear shock for 50 bucks.
Tank spray painted along with pretty much everything else
Blue spray paint, top clamp is billet. I bought a huge container of paint stripper
Rear hub and wheel are unknown, but they don't fit the bike properly, wheel is a black warp 9 that I will save for another project.
Iron sleeve, stock bore, pro x piston, bottom end looks good

Spray paint everywhere
Reeds are missing
Time for a new top end
Cleaned up the casting marks on the cylinder, gonna blast it and spray the engine black to fit the 86 - 87 look
Cylinder cleaned up nice after a quick hone
Here's a little secret for powervalve cleaning...
This is after I hit the powervalve bore with a flex hone 12 gauge shotgun hone.
It's the perfect size for cleaning the carbon out of the powervalve bore.
Made for firearms, I originally bought it for cleaning lifter bores in small block chevy engines... I think it was like 20 bucks on amazon.
That's it's for today, tore down the whole bike, all the black and blue paint comes off next then blasted.
I ordered an 86 tank and shrouds to fab up mounts and placement for the radiators to fit 86 tank, seat, plastics and maybe seat, I will probably have to fab my own custom subframe.

here is after I restored it, took about an hour
I also stripped most of the black paint off the frame, subframe, swing arm and removed the blue paint from the triple clamps, top is a nice billet piece. If anyone wants 93 cr250 forks and triple clamps let me know, I will make you a sweet deal, I have 2 sets, one stock triples, one with a stock bottom and billet top, I am upgrading.
Cheers
The triple clamp cleaned up nice in one round, I'll polish the billet top but won't be using it
Cool project though.
Anyway I got some parts for my 93 cr 250 today... Haha
Young kid needed money and I almost felt bad about the deal I got. He even said it had a brand new carbonator... Which will work well on the cr engine, as well as a fork swap so I get modern technology and the traditional old school look, plus a clean title for future use and some black rims for another project and don't worry the 125 engine will go into a spec racer project that will be a loaner for friends who want to dice it up in the beginner track, so pretty much a bunch of Frankenstein monster projects.
