Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Does any one know where I can get Chain Rollers, both upper and lower that will fit my bike? Honda has discontinued them. I have tried some off of different bikes but all seem to be too wide, or the mounting hole is the wrong size. Any help would be great. Thanks

Gregg, great question...same problem AND where do these guys get all this great after market stuff for 80 Cr250 like aluminum swing arms, Fox Air Shocks? I googled everything under the sun and can't find anywhere you can buy this stuff...Fox Website gives you dealers that are no where near me, guess I'll have to call one of those dealers, just curious.

We are in the process of a fix for the lower roller on the 78-80 CR250, it will take a standard off the shelf roller when we are through. Parts should be available pretty soon.

You'll need keep an eye on eBay and the swap meets for Fox Shox. The only modern after-market swing arm I am aware of comes from http://www.novationracing.com. Be aware that this swing arm uses shorter shocks than stock so select your swing arm first...

Novation has two versions for that bike, the banana arm and a straight arm, the straight one is a fairly easy bolt on, the banana requires some work, we are in the process of some fixes for the problems associated with the banana arm, like the brake stay and lower roller. The new product will work with other banana arms as well.
