Whoa I just found fork and applied trips for 100 bux on ebay for 01 cr 250
And ohlins shock for trx 250 or cr 500 for 250.00. Wonder if these will bolt on?

thx guys for the replies....still not sure what im gonna do.
I had them totally rebuilt about 7 years ago with race tech goodies.
Definitly made a difference but im thinking that if i get newer model ones and build them they would be even nicer.
I guess ill need to juggle the cost on that vs. ohlins. Man ohlins would be nice...the seed has been planted. Hmmm

Yea i am still stoked every time i ride it. Im 38 yrs old and still fast as hell on it. Im always kickin 4 strokes in the azz at the track.
In 07 I raced the 250 am. B class at Budds Creek Pro Nationals and was one of two oil burners and pulled a huge whole shot. Yea i must admit I was a lil surprised. Only a few turns later my piston desintigrated thankfully before the first table top. I sold my surf board and a few other things to make it to that one. I went into depression and it sat up for three years with the Budds mud still on it. I figured it was completly destroyed.
A friend sold me an 06 crf 450 that was three years old and still had the stock tires and sprockets on it ..yea hardly any hours on it. I rode that till i got used to it then got bored and started missing the smell and scream of the old cr. So i tore down the ol'96er and it wasn't that bad at all. A piece of the piston got wedged between the flywheel and case. Got lucky and it wedged at one of the spots where the case bolts hold it together. All i needed was top end... but i had been running the same stock cylider since 96.Yea those 2 strokes are tough as nails. So i freshened it all back to new.
As soon as i fired it up for the first time in years i knew it was time to sell the crf.
I still havent raced again but plan to soon and a year from this weekend I plan to go back to Budds and redeem myself!
So now that i have your attention or you have fallen asleep...heres where this is all going.
I want to buy new model forks off ebay or somewhere like for the ol'96er.
Do u know what year model forks and triple clamps would fit my bike?
and if the shock could be used also.
I wish I would have tried the set up off the 06 crf i had but wasnt thinking about it before i sold it.
I have heard of people doing this with forks but hate to buy the set up not knowing if it will work.
