I built some new lower mounts for a guy this morning for his Vintage CR250 Honda ...The stock mounts had been damaged so I started from scratch and this is what I ended up with....

Bad Brad!
Good memories of him winning the world 500MX title on about the fourth or fifth attempt. I still have a "How to ride MX" book by Brad - bet that's a rare classic!HH210

I remember Brad couldn't get a ride the year after he won the title.Originally posted by B_C View Post
After that time U.S motocross became dominant, and the World titles stopped meaning so much.HH210

In my opinion Bob Hannah was the best motocross racer ever, period.Comment

B_C man, really nice welds in the pix.
What is the process that you used ?
I'd like to try it.

Bigger than they are now would create clearance problems between the mount and primary cover...
Good idea though...Comment

A few years ago I also worked on a vintage CR, but it was a '82 CR480, very fast motorcycle. The dogs on 2nd gear were rounded over and honda doesn't make that gear anymore. I recut the 3 dogs using a surface grinder and a dividing head. That's what happens when you shift with no clutch. By the way BC, I think your welds look great, nice work!Last edited by Brianstick; 01-07-2009, 06:49 PM.Comment
