    I have a 2001 CR-125 that I want to make into a 144. I am looking for an extra cylinder so I can have both a stock and 144 cylinder on hand. Do any of you have an extra for sale or know of someone who does?

    Thanks for your replies.

    If you buy the Husky 144 kit, you get a new cylinder, powervalves, piston, ring and gaskets--you get to keep all of your old stuff as a backup.

    Good point as you would also need a spare head and PV's.

    I checked with Hall's no extras laying around. I also looked into the Husky kit but it is $850.00 and Raymond was not certain if it would fit or in the best case I would need new PV bushings.

    Since the bike is older I am loking at a Gorr overbore or simular set up. If I can find a decent cylinder I will keep mine as a 125 and send the other out.

    I just picked up a 135 FBF head for a good price from the classified section - pistons are cheap too
    These can be bored out to 144 but need to get valves ground back - refer Walts posts
    There was also an unsused 125 '09 head a month or two back may still be available

    Rockdancer,

    It looks like you beat me to the punch on the FBF cylinder. I will just have to continue my quest.

    The FBF 135 cyilinder Ive just got is actually a FBF 125 ! -- measures 54mm - bugger
    so I may not keep it . I did ask for a measurement but the head does say FBF and R135
    Let me know if you want it
    Ive also got a piston/ring on the way for a 135! so it has been a bad day ...
    135 would have done me
    (I may go the EG to a 144 route as well)
    for me to get the over bore done in oz its $550 + $100 head mod + $80 valve mod + piston cost $100 + gaskets $50 .... so EG is a good deal as is the OEM kit

    I may have a spare cylinder...don't know about the head.

    Let me know if interested.

    I think I can use that 135 piston.

    PM me.
