Mine too! I remember going to my very first national in 1986 at Southwick. I remember seeing riders going by in practice with "Johnson" "Ward" and "Hannah" printed on the back of their jerseys and thinking they were imposters. I couldn't believe all of the guys I saw in all the MX magazines were actually at my home track. I know it sounds silly, but that's how huge these guys were in my mind.
Could you do an IN DEPTH video of rebuilding shocks? Im doing a resto on a 1985 CR125R and all the videos I watch fly by the parts I need. I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
You should throw a shout-out to RJ himself and see if he'd like to come out and take a spin on this baby. That bike is beautiful enough to get his attention for sure, so why not give it a shot? The worst that could happen is him saying, "No thanks." 🤷🏻♂️
@@MattBerger02 Apologies, I missed that you used the old bearing to press in the new. All I focussed on was all the force on the inner race, missing the new bearing underneath. Feel free to remove my comment.
This is beautiful.
Thanks!!!
I was confused by the red frame and fork boots until the end. Interesting build. RJ was my childhood hero!
I was definitely hesitant to do it, but I think it turned out great. Thanks!

I wish I could buy a bike off of you. You're so good at building bike lol the bike market in ohio is so bad especially for 2000s cr 125r.
Go get entries and you can have a chance to win this bike!
Hey Matt, awesome job man! Where’d you get that skid plate? I’m looking for one for my 2000 cr250r
It's a Cycra skid plate, I actually found it on eBay!

Alu Frame in red 🫣
🔥🔥
wozu lackiert man einen Alu- Rahmen und zieht Faltenbälge über die Standrohre ?
The bike is modeled off of Ricky Johnson's 1986 CR250. That bike had a red frame and the blue fork boots!
What seat is that?!
How do you get the forks that beautiful gold color?
Kashima coated! Sent them to Japan to get this special coating done
@MattBerger02 that's what I thought, looks well worth the wait and cash🤠👍
Merecik❗✅✌🏻😊

First
3:46 That's not how you press a bearing in, that's bad cringe.
Can you please explain why? Genuinely curious
