I am in need of a 1975 CR125 Elsinore rod and lower main bearing. Can someone direct me to a name and phone number for such items (I am already aware of ebay)? Also, does anyone have the phone number for Vinatage Factory (I have not been able to get ahold of them by email)? Thanks in advance for your help...

Currently I'm not aware of anyone offering a press to fit kit for those. I'm in the process of needing to build about ten 74-78 CR125 engines and I only have five original style rod kits. The Hot Rods connecting rod for the 1981-84 CR125 and 81-84 RM125 (same kit) is correct with the exception that the lower crank pin is a larger diameter and requires boring the crank halve to accept the larger diameter pin. Everyone refers to this as the heavy duty rod kit. You'll need a good machinist/crank guy to pull it off without having to weld the crank pin in position.

Everytime one would die, I'd just go dig another one out of the pile, or off the shelf, or from under the workbench or out of another bike, or.....eventually all the old pieces of shit are dead. Got a DG bike I want to restore, two FMF package racers(74 and 76), new racebike with Mugen kit, two old race bikes, a stock 75 to restore, maybe a 74 resto and then a couple spare race motors. Call me a procrastinater.....or a hoarder, I don't care. Besides, you aren't that far behind me.Smile

I think the proper word is . . . ummm . . . "enthusiast." Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ten dead engines in need of repair would make me more along the lines of empty wallet.

Well, there is always that possibility.....LOL.

But a 1974-78 engine of questionable origin can't always be expected to run at all or to go on forever. If all the paint has worn off an engine and it has never been split, would you put it in a restored bike?
