I know that there are a lot of Honda experts here, and I am hoping I can get some info. I am working on a 96 CR 250 build, but the frame was cactus. I purchased another frame, but thinking about it now, the add read 93-96 Honda CR250 frame. It didn't specify which exact year model the frame was from. I think there is a high chance that it will be an early model frame. Now, looking into it, I can see the 93 & 94 models used a different sized lower steering head bearing compared to the 95 & 96's. Are there any other glaring differences between the year models in regards to the frame.

The early frame was also thinner as far as tubing if I remember correctly?

I have a 93 and a 96, and I think........THINK.......the steering stems and tubes are longer on the 96. I want to say 20 mil longer, or more, enough that the 2 stems won't interchange. Conversely, if you got a 93 frame, your 96 stem will be too long. Not sure if the stems will interchange between triple clamps.

The 93 frame was popular with McGrath through 1996. He ran it all the way through. As for the differences, I'm not sure to be honest.

But if it's a 1993 frame and 1996 motor you're on your way to legit MC replica.
