| Licensed   Joined: May 2008 From: Salem, Oregon I Ride: a sweet green 10 speed | 2000 CR250 rebuild I bought a very abused CR250 off Craigslist cheap to use as a second bike but after reading all of the project threads, I decided to give it a try. It's coming along pretty slow because I have limited funds for it but when it's done it should be all new. The good: ASV levers billet throttle tube Boysen rad valve new tires new Warp 9 front wheel The bad: blown rear shock leaky crank seal jacked up rear wheel worn out chain and sprockets bent radiator polished frame I HATE polished frames These are the only pics i have before I started pulling it apart.   After powdercoat  http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...8-12155108.jpg |

| Endorsed Joined: Jan 2011 From: Sprinfield, OR | Hey, I had two 2001 CR250's back when I was racing a lot, they were basically the same. Great frame for the 2000-2001. I also hate polished frames, the black powder coat looks good, though. Hell, I jumped the 100' triple at Washougal last year from the inside rut on an old '01, they're still a blast to ride. |

I cant wait to get it done but its going to be awhile. I was thinking about having the wheels and hubs powdercoated also but Im not sure. I will have the hubs done for sure. |
