I just picked up an 86 CR125 project and have a 1990 CR250r awaiting restoration. Going to sell the 125 even though I'd like to build it, just have too many projects
This was my first bike as a teen back in 1995 I've always wanted to find one for a project but every time I find one they're hammered and way overpriced, beautiful bike you do nice work
My friend, you hit a home run with your CR! The gold excel rims set it off, gives it a works bike apppearance. I bet this bike flat hauls! I noticed zippy ties for zie fork boots. You can order all 4 metal clamps for that size boots. Think 90's xr-650, they have tons of them, for the upper and lower parts of the boot. You can keep the boots flush under the triple clamp and not have the 80's leg warmer boot look. LOL! Ps, I have his bigger brother in my garage, the 89' 250R. and its a ripper. Great Job!
@@jkiseracing Jim, can I ask a quick question, My 250R has a stained rear rim, the front is ok, is there a fluid or spray or something I can put on it to clean up the white spots? If you have a tip, id be grateful. Thanks Jimmy!
I wish I could post photos to be honest. I'm smack dab in the middle of restoring my 89 cr125 as well. If there could be a problem with the engine when I got the bike, this engine had it. Very clean resto. 👌
Very good restoration. The CR's of that era take some beating. It's a shame Honda moved over to the alloy frame, the steel frame is better in every respect, in my opinion.
i just got a1982 cr 125 everything there bike and runs with owner ships dont see that to often love your bike man good job plan on doing mine but not all of it again nice job looks real good.
Man you killed this. I have two of these bikes that I'm always messing with and buying more pieces to hopefully get the end result you did one of these days. Also if you don't mind me asking what method of painting, color and brand did you use on the case, brakes, ect. You really got it down..also how what route did you go to get the tank to shine like that. Its outglowing the new plastic im some pics lol. Very impressive.
Thanks for the encouraging words. As far as color codes I simply went with powder coat on the frame. I asked the powder coater to give me something as close to Honda red or fire engine red that he had. I think I just got lucky there because it turned out fantastic. But the powder coater I use has always done fantastic work. On the tank I used a standard plastic refinishing method. Which starts out with a heavier grit sandpaper and then work your way up. Then heat to bring out the shine. There are several RU-vid videos showing that process.
@@jkiseracing thanks for the info brother. Your powder guy nailed and you nailed it.. The tank looks better then the come new, must have been missing some skin on your finger tips after that wet sanding lol. Everything is top notch. Very inspiring bro!
Hello JImmy, i really need some help here, do you know how many milimeters before top end? I am not that good at english but timing, do you know what timing it needs to be at?
I'm going through the same thing right now. Just asking someone who has already restored one. Did you use the original inner clutch cover? Yours looks awesome
Unfortunately I did not keep up with the price of this build. Because it was my personal bike I didn't really account. Normally I keep up with the entire cost of a build. On this one I didn't.
would you know of any good place to find parts for an 1982 cr 125 in the states i dont know if you work for a dealership or own one just asking again thank you ps im from ontario canada
Start with a supplier of oem parts. I use Motosport and RMATV a lot for those. I use ebay quite a bit too. What parts I can't find means I restore the one I have.
@@ppd1133 the vapor blasting process made those clamps look new. I also send the carb, engine mounts airbox swing arm, and really any other aluminum and metal parts.
I had a 1986 Honda CR 125 that I bought in 1992. Unfortunately it got destroyed from a head on collision with a car. But I'm still here to tell the story.
