So happy to have warm weather again.

Man that turned out sick. I'm still trying to find a nicely setup aftermarket xc R.

This bike looks awesome!! Off topic question and might of been answered before, but what brake lever is that?? It doesn't look like anything like a normal R lever.

Does the arens frame require this lever?? I still have the stock R lever on my arens frame.

Cr250 is what they normally use but mine is a CR125. I have a new YZ250 lever left over from my bike and it fits just about perfect.

Could you post some pics of these other levers? I used a 96 cr250. Always looking for a billet lever. Maybe one of these other years/model might have something available. ..

Final touch....
New OEM 88 decals! Makes it look so much better. Anyone know where to get the white rear fender stripe? You know the trap shaped thing that sits on the top outside of the fender (88 style).

Here is a YZ 250 (2006) that I'm using on my other Arens. I like this the best. I'm using the YZ OEM mounting bolt. There are several aftermarket lever options for the YZ250 and some are length adjustable as well as spring loaded. I'll be getting an aftermarket one eventually. The only issue is that you run out of adjustment if you want to run the pedal above the peg. I'm gonna try a few things but ideally all we need is for [MENTION=9]Pumashine[/MENTION] to make a stock replacement Clevis that is 3/8" longer.

You can get a 6mm coupling nut to thread to the existing shaft and use as a spacer. http://www.asmc.net/m6x1-metric-coupling-nut-coarse-zinc-plated-pk-25/ Just a thought.

Ordered a crf450 clevis today. It looks like it will work perfect. If not, a billet one will do the job for sure as they are longer and designed for a smaller shaft so I'll be able tap it to accept the R shaft. Trying my $5 fix first...

Thats one question the guys down at the atv repair shop could answer. They see all kinds of different models and would have an idea of the similar part that would meet your needs. I just know R parts and how to get them to work correctly. You should be able to get 1 coupling nut from mcmaster-carr for a $5 fix also. That link was to just show my theory. Glad you found the part you were looking for.

You [MENTION=9]Pumashine[/MENTION] and [MENTION=24]croat1[/MENTION] Joe got my wheels spinning so I thank you. Heck I'm probably gonna bore out the pedal and drop a needle bearing in at the pivot.
