Thanks!

another fantastic idea!! my copycat machine (clone) in progress .THX!

This is such a cool little build. Wish these were in good shape around my area.

Nice job! There are a spacer in between of the rollers, that can be replaced by aluminum one.

Yes, that will be the final step replacing that center. I’m too lazy to press out the bearings right now.

Yes, I already cracked one in a fall. It will need replacement. They weren’t too bad but I will go for higher quality.

Is the Honda XR600R XR250R Rear Brake Plate Holder Mount Drum 1985 1986 1987 the same as you used?

All I can tell you is mine came off of an ‘85 xr250r. I can’t say for certain what years will fit. I had to use to use some washer/spacers myself. Thumpertalk.com is a pretty good resource once you get the hang of it’s odd search function. Some good threads on the crf230 there. Good luck.

Hello very nice tutorials! I have some question about the CRF 230 and interchangebel parts from other Honda dirt bikes. I can get a race ready CRF 230F with upside down fork and higher seat but i want it build back for trail riding (lower seat hight and lower center of gravity like stock ) Is the XLR 125 Fork interchangebel does a CRF 250 seat fits with some changes? Maybe any one in the comments give me some tipps and tricks.

You can easily shave down an inch or two of the seat foam. I’ve seen guys use razor knives, electric turkey cutting knives, even thin heated up wire to cut the foam. Just unstaple and staple the cover back tight. You can also adjust a little with rear shock sag-adjustment and raise up fork tubes a little.

Build me a bike, Tom!

Did you consider putting a rear disk brake on and doing away with the drum?

@lowbuckgarage1

10 ай бұрын

I did. The smoother more progressive action of the disc was tempting but a lot more work and $$. I can lockup the rear now without much effort so I’m happy with it as is. I looked for high performance brake shoes couldn’t find any.

There is a pedal height adjustment bolt at the pedal as well as adjustment nut at the end of the brake rod, try those first.
