I am not finding much in the way of a rod kit for my 83 CR250. I can prolly piece together something off of Ebay with NOS OEM pieces if I have to...

Anybody use this rod kit or others from this mfg.?

I am just wondering 'cause I am not sure if the same rod kit fits 83's to 2001's. They say it does. I am leery.

Can someone shed some light on which direction I should go? Also can you recommend a company to install this kit once I procure something somewhere? I do not have a shop remotely close that I can trust.

Regards,

Stan

* Footnote: Before I hit the post button I just happen to check Hot Rods website for this rod. Lo & behold...

Seems like the last time I was looking for a rod kit it was unavailable. I still cant believe this kit does all the way up to a 2001.... Thoughts?

the rod is the same from 1978 till 2001.
for 78-80 models the installer has to cut the crankpin some mm.
i´m using ProX or Wössner rods.
