We put the air box and sub-frame on today, along with new sprockets and chain...and yes I know that when you look at the pictures, there is no chain slider on yet, Santa forgot about that one! We prepped the radiators to be shipped out to Myler's in Utah to fixed and strengthened also.
We will be heading to Boise here soon to pick-up the rest of the parts we need (hopefully!), and try to have this done soon. We have the chain slider and two chain roller guides on order...On to the pictures!
Ahh...FMF...now to figure out how to bolt up the silencer mount below his hand!!
Changing the front sprocket...had to put the chain on to keep it from spinning
Rear sprocket...Changed from 51 tooth to a 52 tooth
Putting some semi clear rubber tape on where the air box rubs the sub-frame
The tape turned out pretty good, can't hardly tell it's there
Torquing down the sub-frame...be sure to put the air box in first!...lesson learned.
And the finished product for the day
Should be mostly completed next time I update, the longest thing we will have to wait on are the radiators, but I hear that they have a quick turn-around. Can't wait to see it finished!!
Hey, thanks to you guys for doing this writeup. You've done well with the photography, too. I'm working on getting my first dirtbike trail-worthy after 16 years of street riding. It's a '92 CR, but it's not nearly as nice as the one you're starting with. I'm inspired, though, and may take it further than I had planned thanks to your great blog. Keep it up.
