KDX your work is amazing,keep it up.
In our disposable world full of new part fitters you are an old school tradesman, we dont see the likes of you often.
I am impressed!

All you tossers on here that say...."yea, I'll have one if you make it" have to realise if you piss people around then you WILL NOT GET ANYONE MAKING THE STUFF FOR US TO KEEP OUR BIKES GOING!!!!....if you say you want one then buy one when there done.....no bullshit excuses....oh, my bla, bla, bla.....I've seen it on here heeps of times.....If you have no intention to buy one then keep your mouth/typing finger shut.....Russell's done an awesome job on these, if you said you wanted one then buy one....there's too many 2 dollar tightarses on here that think someone should give you one for free or for some unrealistic cheap price. I hope I haven't overstepped here Russell but know how much effort you have put in. Put the price up and put them on Marks Swapmeet Russell.

as above what davey said. also put them on gumtree and ebay if you like, i am sure you will move a few to the yanks as well.

i WILL buy a 1985/86 CR500 if You make one. i reckon a few other will as well. i am hoping to find one for a pattern to be made as i am hesitant to part with the one on Big Red.

Edit - i too will give a deposit as 090 has suggested.

I will buy an 85 cr500 one as well. I will buy an 88 cr250 one if you make them and if the 89 cr500 one is prone to rot, one of those as well. Happy to give you a deposit to show I'm committed.

The only problem with evilbay is there charges....it cuts into your small profit....Marks is the go, a guy from Canada put an add on there looking for my YZA/B, DT/RT1, 2, 3 clutch actuators, there's one on the way to Alberta, BC now. I have sold 14 word of mouth around the world [the DC plastics guy even has one], have 6 left then I'll make some more. The price is going to go up as the time/effort gone into them is not worth the small profit. They are one of the best things you can do to that model bike. Russell's covers are a work of art, support those who go out of there way to keep our sport alive.

Russell
You need someone who knows sales and distrubution.
Give a distributer a go.
Eg VMX unlimited VMX racing

These UK ebay ones are way dearer than yours Russell,yours have gotta be better,Aussie made way to go ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)      http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CR125-1986-CLUTCH-WATER-PUMP-CASING-RE-MANUFACTURED-IN-ALUMINIUM-/251432366618?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a8a89721a&clk_rvr_id=585346679971 

There is an old discussion on vitalmx about cnc'd ones also,but looks like they never got finished,seems like a lot of US guys wanting them ;),maybe try an add on there :)   http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Old-School-Moto,22/CR125-Clutch-waterpump-cover,1249000?page=1
