My TeemTrubble build frame #11
Posted: April 15th, 2009, 9:12 am
I struck a deal with Mike back on 3/4/09 for one of his beautiful CR125 conversions. He is providing me with a 2003 CR125 he bought from his neighbor with all of his mods and heat treatment, his ProCircuit pipe and silencer and shipping to my door. I am supplying and installing the CR500 motor, carb, elect and doing the rest, wheels, etc. He gave me a delivery schedule of 8 to 10 weeks and as the time draws near I'm getting excited and thought I would document the process. Here is my 94 donor bike in a backyard in miami where I picked it up in late Feb:
I rode this thing 2 Sundays at the Croom offroad park where I usually ride and after a little carb tweaking it ran like a top. I was surprised actually at how well this bike turned and how well the 15 yr old suspension handled our big sand whoops (I did change the fork oil). I took the head and rt radiator off and sent it to Mike about 10 days ago for him to mod and at that time went thru the top end with my friend Dredge from the other board. The crank and rod were tight and we did a light hone and I'm putting in new rings. The clutch was apparently completely replaced not long ago:
also got some mild port work with the package:
On 4/1/09 Mike sent me photos of the CR125 he is going to use for the conversion:
Before I did this deal I spoke to AJ and George about their products and I went with Mike on this deal based on everything I read on the 2 boards and the photos of his awesome fabrication work. I also wanted the build to be based on the 125 frame as I have a friend with one of AJ's LE's and I loved riding that thing in our tight woods. I will keep you guys updated as things develop.

199.00. If I'd gone thru Mike there would have been a discount but he's been busy. I'm not sponsered of course so I picked logos of stuff I actually use just to fill in the empty spaces. These are going on all white plastic.
