84 Honda CR 250 Modifications

[Kenneth S (222)]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know a source for wide footpegs for this model?

I also find the front break lever sits too far out and there is no adjustment to it. Was it stock this way? Is there a good solution you have come across for this to make it adjustable or at least sit closer to the grip?

Thanks,

Ken

send your existing pegs to GMC - not only will they come back wide but then bolt straight on!

Ken, I got a set of these on ebay recently
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280919421622?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
The price was right even though the shiping cost is over the top. They took a bit of modifying to fit my 82 CR125 though, had to mill 1mm from either side to fit the frame, drill out the hole for the pin and drill some holes for the return spring but overall they're not to bad,

Drill a hole and tap a 6 mm thread through the front of the perch so you can put an allen key screw/bolt in that acts as a stop/adjuster for the lever

Barsby was wrong then.....you do have some use

The sad thing is, I think Vandy gave me this tech tip a few yrs ago

A little trick that got done to my CZ at 1 stage to move the lever closer to the bars was a cable tie looped around the perch somewhwere between the cable & pivot, works the same as the screw without weakening the perch

I like it! An easy fix.

Get a shorty style lever Ken? I did that and the lever sits a lot closer as it's shaped towards the grip.

Hey where's the frame mate?? I am ready to do it for you mate !! You dropping it off this weekend?

Hey Dave,

Can't find a shorty for this model. There must be an embargo on them I'm not aware of.

If I don't make it up to you over the weekend, I'll ship the frame up next week by Toll.
