I wanna see how the hood attaches too.  I like the LSR graphics and am gonna have to pic sum up for my LSR build(when I get around to doing it finally).

I keep forgetting to take a shot under the hood.  Its just attatched with speed clips underneath with a small nut and bolt.  Really simple.

I did have to call Lonestar and ask for the 250R graphics since they were not listed on their website, they can add sponsors and change colors as needed as well.  I talk to Heath when I call, hes always been very helpful.  As far as the Duncan graphics, Im afraid they went into file 13, as I actually dont have anything on the bike from Duncan, which is the main reason I changed the graphics!  Gotta rep what Im running!

Engine and Bottom End / CR 250 ignition

I recently got the 2007 CR250R ignition from ESR, it had a mark on the adaptor plate and the stator plate, super easy install.  What year ignition are you trying to install?

Well, Ive been at it again, I cant seem to stop...  Added a set of Hiper CF1 Wheels and Maxxis Razor XC for a little cross country riding.  After that I had to see how the 2007 CR250R Ignition would work from ESR.  Its fantastic by the way....   Starts on the first kick, much snappier throttle response and I also feel like it has more torque at low RPM's.  Oh and the new graphics from Lone Star Racing finished off the look I was going for.

Man he had me fooled on the bulid thread, it sounded like it was all done right. Glad you got everything figured out.

Just a few examples, and now that Ive seen this I know what to look for when I go on the hunt for another bike!  The front end of the frame was bent and literally twisted!  The A-Arms were literally crushed onto the frame from over tightening. The steering stem was missing spacers and the C-clip to hold it on the frame (scary).  The bushing in the shock linkage were rusted and dry as a bone, squeeked horrible, the swingarm bearing were dry and rusted as well.  The bearing carrier was worn completely out, the bearings were pitted, and the axle was trashed.  He had the wrong ignition box and it was prefiring (a term I was unfamiliar with), which caused the hole in the piston that you can see in that one pic. Tiny pieces of piston were all through the motor, luckily the tranny was still good.  I guess the only parts left from the bike from when I got it is the swingarm, hubs, front spiindles, and tranny!

That bike was built here on the forum. Or maybe it was back in the .net days. he did sell it very shortly after completing the build. It was built for his wife or girlfriends if i remember correctly.

There isnt much left of the bike from his original build!  Everything was pretty worn out!  It was a good bike for me to learn on for sure, since I basically had to start from scratch and replace things as I went!  It was fun, but I went a bit over budget, had to sell one of my mountain bikes! Haha

Looks awesome man!! Great work!! Any chance you can post a pic of the underside of the hood and where it mounts to senders?  Those are Maier 2 piece fronts correct?

Ill try to grab a pic next time I pull the fender off, and yes they are majer fronts.  It has speed clips that screw in from the bottom side that mount to the factory locations for the majer hood that screws in from the top.  I like this much better since you cant see the screws!

Nice ride!  I am interested in your impression of the trx7 pipe.  I'm leaning towards one as most of my riding is trail/woods but I don't want to loose all my topend.

As soon as I get it out on the trail, I will let you know.  Im hoping its close to the description, lots of low end torque, and not much loss of the top end.  With the Powervalve and 110 Racegas, Im hoping its awesome!!

Both bikes just have the Honda HRC Kit and K&N filter.  09 has FMF Megabomb header and Factory 4.1 Exhaust and the '13 has LSR Full Exhaust.  Other than that, just suspension, wheels, graphics, steering stem, axle, a-arms, and stuff!

Been disassembling and reassembling in my bike shop during the ice storm.  Not much business going on with the roads shut down!  I do know that my camera sucks (old iPhone) and will be using a real camera to get more pics later.  I think it looks better on the black frame!

First ride, good and bad....  Ran great for about 20 minutes, then the problems revealed themselves!  Seems as if the I should have studied more about the ignition that came with the bike, seems it was pre-firing and causing some problems?  Ive since replaced the ignition with a new OEM, and also replaced the entire top end.  Also figured out the nice green frame was bent.  Kinda glad, so I can get a different frame.
