this past xmas i wanted to do something special for my dad.
i was born in 1988 and i was my dad first born, so he sold all his toys. so i hunted down the same bike he use to have before i was born. a 1988 cr125r.
it started august 8th...sorry i dont have all the pics though the build..
when i got it, it was junk!! but it was complete with a somewhat complete parts bike. the engine was locked up, all the plastics where spray painted black, seat was ripped, tires didnt hold air...the list goes on
so i stripped it down to the bare frame and had it sand blasted then painted it black(stock color was red)
i rebuildt the engine and hand sanded all the plastics down to the stock red color then cleared them..had to polished the tank.
i ordered a complete screw set and a new seat cover
when he played football in high school and the airforce his number was 88
he was so shocked on xmas morning, i gave him a toy honda dirtbike with a note that said "i wanna ride"..lol then i told him to go look in the garage.
after a few months riding it we bored it .60 over with a rejetted carb and a new used pro circuit pipe.
he still tries to keep up with my cr500
