if my failing mind is still working - check out www.partmart.com - this will then come up with any dealers around the world that maybe listed as having a part.  David Silver spares over that way I think was pretty good.  Also check out www.honda-elsinore.com website because I think there are other rods that may fit and these guys will know if thats correct?

best of luck

You don't have to buy genuine for CR250RZ, after market items are readily available.
Cheers,

Contact David at AMSRACING in the USA. He is realiable and charges a fair price.

Thanks everyone
OROUK {Wales} supplied the rod kit, later models fit with a bit of machining of the pin.
www.cmsnl.com had  a rare bearing, and he's had to make some gaskets.
The  engine work [including a YZ400] was supposed to take the winter and got telescoped into two weeks!
Had to be ready for Cwmyoy [koomyoy as in joy]

here you go, you said you want rod kits for 79 CR250, take your pick, 3 brands, Pro X, TKRJ and one which BBI gets made for them and branded BBI.
