mxaniacAt least somebody finally found something useful off a 97 CR250. Don't get me wrong I love CR250s, my 86 was a dream and my 05 is everything a bike should be and then some but the 97 was awful.
Status on the bike?

joe439I wonder if I could maybe talk ya into doing something similar for a friend. Really wants to stuff his '06 CR250 motor into this 2010 CRF250R that he got. Not today but sometime after the summer.

Justin AndersonThanks guys.
Fortynine Industries is a name a give to the fabrication and modififcation work I do outside of my Job, it kind of encompasses a lot of different markets, I work out of a small shop in my garage (obviously). Id like to make it a full time thing one day, I just dont have the time and capital to invest into it fully at the moment.
Joe, as far as that goes, it sounds like something Id be interested in, and it would give some time on the bike to check frame integrity and everything. There is a growing 2-stroke market out there, and the manufacturers arent grasping it. Maybe somebody needs to start taking old motors and putting them in new frames, much like SH did with the 500's back in the day. I have a Tom Morgan 99 RM125 engine that could find a nice place in a newer aluminum frame RMZ. SH sort of has the market on this thing, but I dont think it would be out of question to give them a little competition.

Sounds a lot like the ATV racing scene from the late 80's to the mid 00's. The factories abandoned the racing scene and forced people to look to the aftermarket for design and innovation. We would take restored TRX250R engines from the 80's and place them into aftermarket frames with highly-modified suspension. It was crazy expensive, but that was the hot ticket in the day, before the current generation of "race-ready" four-stroke ATV models.
I am very interested in this trend towards restoration of older two-stroke models. I would love to see the manufacturers influenced by it.
Well done, Justin. That is truly a beautiful dirt scooter. Impressive!
