Just picked up a 2001 Cr125 roached out by some goons for 450 duckets! When I got it it had old super sun faded plastics (like the fenders and shrouds had WHITE parts where it should be red) monster graphics for a Kawasaki, who even does that???, tires were all dried out and cracked, renthal twin walls without the crossbar, the stock head pipe had metal welded on the outside for reasons unknown lol. The ONE thing goin for this bike was that it had Applied triple clamps. So I instantly hit up eBay, got a stock plastics kit (shrouds and fenders) for $40 shipped and an FMF Fatty and shorty combo for another $170. Got a crossbar mounted off an old pair of bent bars, new sprocket and chain, new front number plate, greased all the bearings, CLR'd the frame and engine from some type of corrosion (cleaned up hella nice!), new tires front and back, new front brake pads, new fork oil (old stuff was like dark grayish color no bueno) and a new throttle cable. Spent about $300 so far and a total days worth of work. I have everything but the exhaust which shows up today I got ancy in the pantsy and took it out riding yesterday at a local track rode for about 20 minutes hard and it was smoking for about 30 minutes from the goons who had it before had it loaded up. I'll post pics of the progress later today and the end result after I get the exhaust on!
