Got my wheels trued today and installed my tires , pinched the front tube putting the front tire on so I didn't bother mounting It flat as I'll only have to take it off tomorrow. About to start working on my seat. Here's some pics let me know what you guys think.

Mounted the exhaust and got all wiring finished, got the bike running and  finished my seat. I don't at all like how the seat cushion I made came out so I will be re doing that. Everything is still in primer so I still have to spray paint and clear coat.

Definitely looked better without the piping, especially when the earlier seat was not as flush. You'll get there soon.

Nice build! To eliminate the idiot lights on the upper triple tree, did you just use the top clamps from the CR125? If so, what year?

they were off a 97 cr125, I upgraded my cr to 1 1/8 in bars a month earlier And had those clamps in the parts bin so I'd thought is see how they fit and they fit on perfectly

Nice work Nick0,you've really put lot's of hours into this '3 bike' Project.I've worked on a few customer bikes in the past and they also had a 'parts bike' I could use to fix up their's;I never knew what to quote them for a price because it would take at least double as long to do the job.  ::)
A fellow named Manny & I had a 'sledge party' on his old rusted out CM400E tank and that helped take a bit of stress out of our day  ;D  that tank lasted a good month until it looked like a Japanese pancake !
