[Hoony]

KDX, sorry mate i cannot find my old CR500 1985 crankcases, i must have chucked them out a few years back. i am looking for a 1985 CR500 clutch cover.

i do have a 1986 CR250 clutch cover spare - are they damaged during your process of pattern making / casting ? sorry for this question i have no idea of whats involved on reproducing these in alloy.

I have seen an "86 CR250 with what looked like an '89 CR clutch cover on it. It was the cover that had the removable bit to access the clutch. I have no idea how much, or even if any modifying was involved as I haven't seen the inside of the '89 cover.

I've got an 86 CR250 with the later model 2 piece cover fitted.  It was like that when I purchased it so I thought they were a straight bolt on? 

Can't be too hard to fit them if they don't fit straight on ... looks factory and works perfectly.

I'm not so sure the '89 CR 250 clutch are that easy to get Russell. I think they had the same problem with corrosion as well. I reckon you would still sell a few covers for the '86 CR250...

There is definitely a market for what you do in VMX world. A lot of parts are hard to get and even more parts are broken and worn out. You have a niche with what you do.... Stick at it mate

maybe its now worth doing the 85 - 88 covers if you can modify 89 covers

I don't think that the '85 would fit the '86 and later covers as the '85 was ATAC and '86 onwards was HPP.
There was also a change to the activation mechanism from '88 onwards (I think), so although the later model cover fits the crank cases the pre '88 bikes may need to swap out the P/V activation mech.
I think....

I think I just make 85 and see what happens gota get one 1 st

[kdx 175]

are we talking about cr 500 or 250

[evo550]

I'm talking about the 250's

Was there an '88 CR125 amongst those built?

[kdx 175]

I have 10 more 1984 cr 250 clutch covers finished reedy. New screw in hose fittings  look much better 350 $ 15$post in oz pm me

[kdx 175]

so no one needs any 84 clutch covers

[FourstrokeForever]

I NEED one but I just can't afford it at the moment. Along with all my bills, the hot water system just shit itself as well.

[kdx 175]
