1979 Honda CR

Clear

Up for auction is a beautifully restored 1979 CR125 Elsinore. Started with a very low hour machine. Bike has had a complete nut and bolt restoration. Restoration took several years to complete. Bike was completely disassembled, inspected, painted/powder coated and assembled using original and NOS parts. Some of the original hardware was replated and the rest were replaced with the correct OEM Honda hardware. Nothing was spared in restoring this bike. I spent years researching and collecting parts for the perfect restoration. This bike would make a great show piece. Bike has been ridden very little and gently since restoration. It has only been yard ridden. It starts right up and runs very strong as it should. Please see below for a complete break down of restoration. Thanks for bidding!!
