Anyone know which triple clamps/ front end setup will fit a 1988 cr250 frame?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yea, the whole front end looks like the way to go.
So when you say after getting 200? crf250/450 front end, get a bearing kit; will a bearing kit for a 88cr250 fit the steering stem on the crf? or which bearing kit?
What year crf suspension is good?
Thanks.
The bike was stolen and abused to the point most parts are recycling. The forks tubes were rusted out and pitted crazy.
I have Varner Motorsports rebuilding the motor. Which was in very bad shape. The magnesium crank case was blown out. I was surprised he didn't ship it back after looking at it, lol. Im too busy to rebuild every part of the bike. So looking for options for the front end. Price is not an issue on this project.
I just got done with a 1997 Kx125 RC replica with some mods. All stock components. I had Eric Gorr bore the Kx to 144.
I will be starting or moving this thread into a build for the cr250. But its looking like another two months before its done.
The Shop
It is mostly all stock with only the motor mods. I had Factory Connection do the suspension.
Evo Mx in the UK for graphics which turned out a bit different than expected. But unique since it was not exactly the same as a build I based in off. I sent in the hubs after being powder coated black to Faster USA in Southern Ca. DiD wheels with Bridgestone X30 I think. ASV levers since I always tend to break levers. These have held up good so far after dropping the bike a couple times. Everything on the Kx went pretty smooth. Most main components were in good shape. I did kind of go over the top with the money spent, but it was well worth it.
I just didn't have the time to rebuild every component. That is why I sent out the engine/suspension, and wheels. I had cracked both rims prior to the build. The bike has been in my family forever, same with the cr250 and just wanted to get her pretty. Sucked since these two are my only bikes. The KX took me a good three months with no riding over the winter. Im just waiting on PC for the pipe. Since its backordered and not in stock, its been two months since the order was placed. I can't wait for her to have a nice shiny pipe!!!
My favorite part of the Kx is the powder coated swing arm!!!
What do you guys think of an 2002 front end on the 88?
They look to be in good shape and has the front brake. I would only need an axle, and hub to be re-laced or a wheel setup?
I checked out all balls. And the compatibility with their bearing conversions is crazy. I never knew so many swaps can be accomplished. I want to keep it Honda though. No Yamaha parts on this bike lol.
Thanks.
