My 86 CR 250R. this bike was pretty lame compared to my 84 RM 250E. the suzuki was faster, had loads of torque and the CRs suspension couldn't even compare to the full floater, sold the CR after two weeks.

This is my 75 CR125. You may notice it still needs the pipe installed at this point.

Hey Thanks Gary...I painted the cases using Plasti-Kote engine enamel,low gloss black,no.215. For the pipe I used Rustoleum BBQ/Grille high heat,black.After you lay it on and let it dry for a day,try buffing it gently with a soft cloth to get the desired sheen...I can't take credit for the case covers...there NOS Honda,but I think the Plasti-Kote match is close. I'm trying to replicate the factory look the best I can. eL
