Gen1 cr125 questions
Ok guys so it's been awhile since I've sold my last 500 and I need another! I've been reading up and doing my research, but I can't seem to find any gen1 (98/99) cr125 builds? Anyone can enlighten me on any builds they are aware of in the forums would be alot of help! Before you call me out and wonder why I'm doing it with a gen 1 cr125... Is well because I have said title for that gen 1 and said title is street legal and I've always wanted an AF of my own plus I've wanted a sumo to! Thanks for any help!

Yes I do know the 1st gen 250 frames are pretty much plug and play with the exception of the front engine mounts. I would think you could bend the frame and shoehorn it in there. But I'm trying to figure out the cleanest way I can do this....maybe get the rails cut off totally and use the cr250 rails? It's just I have never seen this build go on before and I'm wondering if there's a reason why?
The reason it's not done much is because you need new frame rails. If you're going to go to that trouble, you might as well do a newer frame.
Yah, I'm from Saskatchetoon!

Yes I have heard the pipe will sometimes make contact with the front tire while the suspension is compressed. I think it has to do with the tighter rake from what I have read so far. But could anyone give me the inner diameters of the back mounting point of the cr500 engine both pre 89 engine and 89 to 01 if ya have them on hand thanks!
