Hi all
not much new since, it's still on stand-by, but I received a bag of Pro Circuit stickers for temperature control and the shock spring preload nuts.
it doesn't take much to be happy, as Balou would say

This is an amazing transformation. Like an MX version of Lazarus only a bit longer than four days :-) Keep the pictures coming!

Hello All
containment Covid-19 requires and not the possibility of going to do the work of my new house and workshop (15 km therefore prohibited, I would have to be within 2 km)
suddenly I do not advance on the restoration since I have no place to work, the bike is completely in pieces so in the boxes it does not take up space.
I therefore finished covering the radiator fins, since it was not found in new ones, unless I found a model of another motorcycle that could be mounted on it.
and some pictures from before

1st video concerning the restoration of the 250 CR 91.
This is the 1st part, so as not to make the video too long which can make you want to zap.

1st / water cleaning, dish soap, baking soda and a green scotch brite sponge
2nd / sanding under water with body sandpaper, grain 120, then 254, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 2000, 4000
in 3rd / light heating with a heat gun, just to revive the color and make it shine.

the days pass and the restoration of the motorcycle is still on stand-by, as long as I have not integrated my house and my workshop or I should start work soon.
small reception of the day, the stickers for the radiator fenders and those that will take place on the fork with the old KYB logo.

Good and well cracked, since I sold the footpegs I had taken at the start for the 250 CR.
There will be grip under the boots, they are beautiful and the weight gain is just impressive.
don't worry guys i plan to blunt the tips ;)

All these pieces and parts coming together . . . looking forward to it starting to look like a dirt bike again.
I was figuring you were going to do a full restoration, but seeing some of the modern bling you're throwing at it, we're going to see one healthy-running resto-mod.

Hi everyone, I know it's not a very funny subject since we haven't seen any reassembly of the bike and its progress yet, but I still haven't been able to start working on it, so I continue to receive parts in view of its reassembly, which I hope will stimulate you a little
the result of some small parts for the reassembly of the motorcycle, that I had ordered more than 2 months ago now, I thought that I would never have them, but hey one is missing, I hope that it will be delivered to me shortly.
there are the rear pad springs and the brake hose guides, the centering pads and studs for the installation of the cylinder on the crankcases, the crankshaft key, the spring washer of the clutch nut, the 2 countersunk screws for one of the gearbox bearings ....

I had a few parts to order for my clients' suspensions, I took the opportunity to add 2 small parts for the CR, it will end up as a factory bike if it continues. ..

So today Sunday I have a little mechanical pleasure
I start to work again for the 250 CR.
The spring fork that I had mounted on my 450 CRF will therefore become the fork of the CR and therefore disassembly for maintenance but also and above all to redo a preparation suitable for this other motorcycle and my new lighter weight.
I will also follow the reflection of my son who complains about the hardness of my suspensions and therefore also ride more flexible in springs (which will also be the case for the shock absorber and also on the 450 CRF).
To compensate for the flexibility of the springs, especially in the fork, I am going to replace the factory spring collars with models used in Supercross, in order to still have good resistance from mid to end of stroke.
I will take the opportunity to anodize the sleeves and the feet, as well as do a treatment on the divers (probably DLC, unless I find a great plan for the multicolor as at Pro-Circuit with a well-placed price, which I could then propose to my clients)
