    The 'Gun Site' logo may look good on your swing arm. I think I paid $20 from Decal Works.

    Think about replacing your rear CR rotor to the bigger one like all the rest of the Husky line up has Halls or Zip Ty have them in stock also comes with a shark fin and no more rattle as the rotor will bolt up direct to the hub

    I have the Race disc from England on there right now. It bolts up direct also. Next time I need a disc I'll look at the bigger ZipTy unit.

    Well, I'm happy to report that the bike works great. Rear brake works as good or better with the new master cylinder. The pipe works very much like the DEP, but I need to run them back to back for any detailed break down, and the CR ignition with the JD ignition box is killer. It will break traction a little easier than it did with the smaller flywheel, but the Provini TEC keeps it in check. The up side is it pulls taller gears even better than before, while allowing you to still have great throttle response to keep the front wheel up in whooped out sections or to clear junk at speed. The WR set up pulled tall gears really well, but was a little slow responding to throttle blips. Now it responds like it's running a gear lower, but still has that gear higher smooth delivery. Very cool. And the top end is killer. Top end pull feels more like it did when it was a 300.
    Did have a little octane rattle at about 1/4 throttle under heavy loads. I'm sure it's the JD ignitions more aggressive timing curve, but it's so mild I think I can jet it out without getting it too fat.

    Overall I'm very happy with the upgrades. And BTW, the silencer passed sound check.

    Motorhead, nice bike! Did you fabricate the bracket for the ECU or is that a stock part that you adapted? I need something like that for the FBF/JD ignition for my 125.

    Yeah, I'm back on the DEP. I like it better on the 250. I think the Scalvini would be better on a 300. It's good on the 250, but I like the DEP better.

    I adapted a bracket from a '08 CR125. It's mounted to the stock point and the regulator mount. It's working really well.

    The Provini TEC is a damper for the power valve. It regulates the rates of opening, but free to close. There are 5 positions on it, from no dampening to it's max. The best way to describe it is like an adjustable FWW. It controls how fast the motor revs. I run it full on most on most of the time. Pretty cool tool.

    The way I have the bike set up now it has a very wide power band. It pulls off the bottom really well, like a stock 250, but from there it's just more of everything, especially the top. It can torque around like a WR is famous for, then builds hard. It's not a huge hit or anything that's hard to control, but a very strong pull. With the TEC turned down it's got more punch, but I still don't consider it a hard hit, even with the CR ignition.

    I've gone back to the DEP pipe. It revs a little faster and is very strong on top. It just feels like it never stops pulling. The Scalvini is a great pipe, but I guess I'm just hooked on the DEP. They are very close, IMO. The Scalvini is made a lot better and the fit is way better, but I think the DEP may have it on top. I think they may have aimed it more at the 300 and the DEP was designed for the 250.

    Very nice! Lots of cook bits.
    I didn't know there was a rear brake difference between CR and WR.

    The 250 isn't, it's a '08 CR125 brake. Sorry.

    Ok I see now, you have the later MC. The 13s still don't have them.
    I wish I had refinished my cases while I had mine apart. Looks good.:thumbsup:
