Thanks. What year CR125? I can ask the guys at TT if the forks will fit.

It's an '88. It won't fit as-is, because the stem is too long. The choices are to either fabricate a spacer or press in an XR200 spacer. Since I have plenty of XR200 junk here, I'd be happy to do that for you.

The CR125 forks are considerably beefier, and the triples are a little wider. I have the axle and spacer that goes with the front wheel as well.

Thank's W&G. I'll let you know. I'd like the disk but I also like the speedometer/odometer!

I received the new swingarm decals (nice!

) and rear fender (also sweet) for The Dirt Rat today. I hope to get them installed tomorrow. At that point, except for repainting the frame, the restoration is as done as its gonna get. At least until I get Wayne's custom decals. THAT will be the touch! 8)

The Dirt Rat and I have plans to ride tomorrow and Sunday. Life is good.

I was reviewing the eBay link you provided, and I'm surprised that the seat cover fit. The listing says '83-'84, but the actual model years ran '81-'83, '84-'85 and '86 on.

I found a listing for '81-'83, so I think we'll be safe.

Do you have photos of the new fender? Was it a bolt-in, or did you need to mod it?

FastDoc · 11-18-2010, 01:13 AM

The first cover did not fit. It was a 'climb the tank style'. I sent it back with pics of my seat and they sent me the one I have now, it fit great.

The fender was a bolt on operation, once I located the points to drill the 4 mounting holes. I have pics of it on one of my threads. I'll see if I can't find it for you.

Thanks Doc.

I saw that photo previously, but I was hoping to see a photo of the fender before it was installed. Do you have a link?

Weldangrind · 11-25-2010, 01:46 PM

Can you tell me where you bought that rear fender from Doc?

FastDoc · 11-25-2010, 03:17 PM

I think Motorcycle Superstore or Rocky Mountain ATV. About $20 IIRC.

Weldangrind · 11-25-2010, 11:38 PM

Do you have a part number or manufacturers name?

FastDoc · 11-26-2010, 12:23 PM

Acerbis Universal rear fender.

This is the fender and where I bought it from. Good price. Fast shipping.

Thanks Doc!

I'd like to learn from this process. What made you choose that one, and how did you know it would fit? I just compared it with the stock XR200R fender, and it's a bit shorter; do you think that would cause water to splash the stock airbox?

I'm drawing on your vast experience.

FastDoc · 11-26-2010, 10:35 PM

I bought it because I've used many Acerbis parts in the past and thought they were good. I also already had matching front fenders and headlight fairings so I thought it would be a good 'theme'.

I figured it would fit becaue the Honda XR is about the most common dirtbike in the world, so that would define universal. Plus the plastic will give quite a bit if the mounts are a little narrow or wide. Mine were narrow.

As far as the airbox I don't see it being an issue. Note that I did have to trim the forward inner edge a bit with a Dremel and cutoff wheel. This was for tire clearance. The tire on it now is a 110. 100 is stock and this sucker BARELY clears the swingarm, chain, exhaust, and seat. If you are running a stock size rear tire you ought to be good to go.

Finally, I bought it because it was cheap. I AM a Chinarider, after all!

FastDoc · 11-26-2010, 10:36 PM

Some vast experience. I built one. 8)

Weldangrind · 11-27-2010, 01:20 AM

I stuck a monster 130 rear tire on Son of Weldangrind's rim, but it remains to be seen whether or not it will fit. I only installed it because it was free; I'm a China Rider too.
