Title: 1993 Honda CR250 Project
Post by: dogger315 on May 10, 2010, 08:08:05 AM
I've been scratch building a 1993 Honda CR250 ( my favorite steelie)
for the past year.  I finally have all the parts and am close to finishing
the assembly process.  I tried to put together a bike that ressembled
what the average racer ran in '93 - revalved suspension, 19" rear wheel,
aftermarket pipe and silencer, etc.

For those of you that read the CR250 engine build series of articles, this
is where that engine ended up.

I plan to race this bike heads up at the local level in the 250 class.

I'm including some pictures of the project so far, it's about 95%
complete.

That bike is a thing of beauty. Do modern companies still have the ability to revalve and setup older suspension like that?

are you being serious? of course they do. not much has changed in design except the most recent forks are a closed system vs. the open top on the '93 CR.

They are the first generation of Pro Circuit pegs, the ones with
two holes.  The flow throughs they sell now didn't arrive on the
scene until around 2000.

I'm waiting for some special fastners I need to mount the frame
guards and forks to arrive from Racebolts.  As soon as they get
here, I should be able to finish everything that's left in a few
hours.  I'll post the finish pictures then.

Beautiful Honda!!  Funny, I raced last weekend on my 1998 YZ250 and was parked next to a guy with a '93 CR250 - Jeremy McGrath's two favorite SX bikes.

if i remember correctly, MC ran from the '98 YZ the second the '99 became available because of the new engine in the '99. in fact he was riding the bike with just a Pro Circuit pipe because the race engines were not ready yet.
