Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Ray,

Do you know if a CR125 side panel will work for a replacement on the MR175?

IJ,

The '74-'75 LH CR125M side panel won't fit MR175 frames without mods, and I'm not sure the rubber bands will line up with your '77 MR frame's hooks either.

What almost certainly will fit your frame, though, is the '75-'76 CR250M cover, along with the MR250 and (duh) '77 MR175 covers; I think all of these are identical except for paint and decals. VMX Racing has them (about halfway down the page below, sold as a pair):

This eBay listing shows both sides:

I'm planning on modifying my '75 MR frame to fit a '76 CR250M cover when I get the time. It'll take some grinding and welding, but should look good.
