I was trying to up the usual build thread with a more involved twist on it. Trying to show how most aspects were done so you could try it yourself.
Basically creating something I would enjoy following along with.
It’s comments such as yours and others in this thread that make it that much more worth it to go the extra effort.
I honestly think as far as aesthetics, its tough to beat a well taken care of or in your case a nicely restored steel frame CR.
The Shop
Prior to this it had been used beaters. Last one being an 89 KX 250 I bought off Joel Albrecht who was getting free bikes from Kawi. So one of his practice bikes.
Riding that CR sealed the deal for me as it relates to the most memorable bike I ever owned.
It inspired an amazing level of confidence.
Buying the 95 was simply due to not at the time finding a 92.
Doing further research to restore just exposed me to how popular and indeed very unique the 92-96 years are. I always enjoyed the appearance along with the process of restoring. Boom.....Super hooked.
Those were good years to be into moto Chance.
My favorite bikes are from the early 90’s, and this makes me smile to see someone still appreciating them in this day and age.
I bought it for a grand and was just barely able to get at least my money back. Not my time.
Older KTMs can be a super challenge to get parts for. Prior to 90 then it becomes extremely difficult.
Awesome bike Chance. Looks perfect and is a fine representation of an early 2000 CR. Great work.
95’s have been easy to find. 93 and 94 are less common with 92s showing up just under 95s recently.
Calif. is a good place to be for used bikes.
Don’t have hardly any good pictures of her but there she is. Also please excuse the messy garage haha.
EVO-MX for the graphics if you haven’t purchased any. Outstanding quality.
I just saw here in Ca a 91 300 for $1500.00.
Just sad how poorly these early KTMs hold their value.
Great effort on your part. Plenty to feel good about.
Big time thanks for taking so much time to explain how you did certain steps and with pictures. Many people reading your thread have learned a thing or two as such..
Again thank you for those comments guys. You inspire me to insure to make more of them in other members build threads.
Well done!
Very nice!! my youngest daughter missed the 90’s by 2 years but I think she fits in just fine.
