Is that thing legal for pre '78? Doesn't it says something in the rulebook about the frame having to be original or something like that?

It's the '76 frame but it has been cut and the top shock mounts moved forward. I had seen that mod done back in the day.

 did I read that correctly, was sure the starting bid was $1,000  but now a few days later it is $1,300, am I imagining that or did the price go up

the price went up as i added a complete MR250 ELSINORE MOTOR AND A CR HEAD AND BARREL.changed back to 1000.00 and put 300.00 extra if the buyer wants the mr250& cr top end.

Where the hell did you find an MR250 motor? I didn't think any 250's were brought into the country.

Fixed.

None of Australia's economic dramas have anything to do with our Gov't.... If anyone needs blaming, its Howard/Costello (or even Hawke/Keating) and big business for tying us so tighlty to the US economy, particularly back when it became obvious that the yanks were in trouble.

Deviating back to the MR/Cr topic,I saw a NICE CR175 on US ebay this week.The guy used a CR125frame etc 1976? mated with a mr 175 engine.??Posible use for one of you 175s Yumastepside??

Actually ,thats exactly what I'm looking for! As much as I love my little MR's,thats the problem with them........little....being 6'3" my knees are up around the handlebars so I'm looking for a taller CR frame to put one of the MR's running gear onto !!!   I have one to restore,a couple for parts but I'd like one big enough to race ........comfortably.
