contemplating a swap (cr 125 250 front end)
hey guys, I need all of you expert advice.. I have two cr s at my disposal for praticaly free,( two good friend of mine who has a 125 and a 250 with blown engines) after spending some good 3 or 4 days searching this web site, I think I might go ahead and try to do this thing, I'm handy with tools, however I get scared of thinking about doing this. if I have everything in hand how long should I expect to finish this project? are machine shop easy to find? besides having to press the stem out and in and having to make it fit in the cr lower tt? what else will I need to fabricate? I don't want to get to a machine shop and sound like a total idiot!!!!! so do you all think I should do this or just settle for a stiffer srings gold valves and call it a day???? any input, suggestion, opnion help would be greatly apreciated......or if someone live in the merrimack area in mass, and want to give me a hands on advice(help) would certainly be welcomed thanks in advance!!!!

I'd look at swapping the engine into the CR125 frame if the whole bike is available...
