The wife has told me that this bike is my "last" (heard that one before ) so I'd like to find some magazines featuring tests/shootouts with the '04 CR250/'04 250's.

MXA, Dirtbike, Dirtbike Rider, Transworld, anything really.

If you have any, please PM me or email to hrcracing@bellsouth.net with the price.

Thank you.

Well, I'm a souvenir/sentimental kind of guy. Like I still have magazines of Tortelli riding the prototype CRF450 in the all Japan Nationals, all the test/shootouts of the 2002/2003 450's, which I owned, etc.

I also have many of the owners manuals from bikes I've owned going back to my 1983 CR250. I also have a Dirtbike magazine with a test on the '83 CR480, one of my favorite bikes.

Man, that's a sweet lookin' CR250 you've got there. Where'd you get those numbers and Applied triples?

Yep,I know about being sentimental....I'm so sentimentil that I cant walk around in the basement.......I think I'm more on the -mental- side than the -senti- side.....

I wipped up the #'s myself.I can e-mail you a .jpg of of your #'s and you can can enlarge or shrink them to any size you want then transfer them to the color of decal you like.I just trace them onto a sheet of 3m graphics contac paper and exacto knife them out.Presto......You got yourself a set of numbers that no one else has.
The Applied Clamp set came right from Applied.I went with the steeper offset.Better than stock and its not twitchy.They are worth the dough after you get everything else dialed in.

To get the 22 mm offset,you'll need this one and a 03 and down front # plate.

Mike,

I greatly appreciate the number offer and will take you up on it. It's 27, both of my children's birthday (different months) and, ironically, I'd later find out that that's also the route our house was on growing up in Cincinnati.

The email is hrcracing@bellsouth.net .

Thank you for the links too and I'll give those a look. I had thought about Motosport Outlet but they only have red for Honda's (I prefer the black) and only the fat bar clamps.

Thank you.

Thanks again Mike. They're going to look great on some yellow backgrounds!
