Nice rare bike you can find 86&88,s. But 87 r rare. My 1st mc bike I bought 11-18-89 on my birthday. It had a NSR port job for hill climbing..  it was quick & fast. I got a DG pipe from Torque center for 99 bucks. I broke the shock on some big whoops. I got a WP shock from TC, Soo plush. I sold my bike with a red & white tiger seat cover. I bought a 04& 05 from northern iL.  You ever hear of, On the pipe racing ? The shop was in central Wi. He specialized in old Mx parts alot of Honda. I think the buisness is gone. Lee Hechenforf was his name I think. He’s a trip he used to post hvy metal song lyrics on Mx sites. Haha

Nice I had 1984-87 cr125s back in the day raced a little 125 B class at Byron. I loved to play ride by my house. I don't remember on the pipe.

I guess I should have started this with how my 1987 project started. I was at a local shop back in 2009 getting a filter and oil for my ktm and looked up to see they had a bunch of used parts hanging around and saw a 1987 cr125 tank with 1 shroud on it (only part he had)and asked the owner if I could see it he took it down and I asked how much he answered $20 SOLD. Then i told him it was mine from back then and I showed him the hand cut JT bad bone stickers were hand made on the shroud. Notice the cuts marks. So now 15 years later its time to build a bike around it.

This bike I did had a lot of NOS parts The thing is you are paying $$$  for them. And it may take years to find everything you really want. Sometimes you have to settle for the cleanest part you can find.
