    Ever since I built my wife's 2012 cr wb 165 I've wanted one for myself. So finally came across a 2000 or 2001 cr 125 for cheap. Popped the throttle and cable of the 250 today to use the Lectron from it and she fired right up. BTW my shortened Lectron fits like OEM on this bike. If any of you guy's are considering building a 144 or 165 don't count out the older model cr 125's. Took this thing for a short ride today and was pleasantly surprised by the lay and good handling. For now I have a brand new 144 kit that came with the wife's bike that I'm going to throw on along with a Motosportz Lectron and cable.

    I almost bought that bike but the title and registration sounded sketchy. I know you got it cheap though so I hope it works out, have fun with the project.

    The bike was originally purchased in Nevada and way back then I guess they did'nt require dirt bikes to be registered as off highway vehicles so the bike has no mso or title or anything. I guess the first thing I'm going to-do is find a way to get it registered.

    Gold valves and stiffer springs make those kinda sucky forks work great. The rest of the bike is very good. Enjoy. :cheers:

    Pretty sure it's a 2000, I think I see a the 15mm bolt in the front axle, they went to the nut in 2001.

    Are looking for a pipe I just bought a 2013 wr125 to replace my 2008cr165 and my 200sx pipe on 2008 will not fit on new frame but looks like it should fit yours since it looks like my 2008 frame. I bought it this spring from WB and have used it for about 20 hours with pipe guard on it from new.

    Around that time Steve Lamson raced SX & MX on a DKNY sponsored Husky. I think Fast By Ferracci offered replica graphics kit.
