I will lap it on a sheet of glass on some 400 emery cloth, I put blue Dykem on first to so I can see high or low spots. I think I'm going to use one of the other jugs and heads anyway though.
Thanks AJxr! So I finally got the parts to finish it AGAIN. Ordered the Pro x piston kit from Motosport and the piston looked really cheap and the ring is half the thickness of the Wiseco that was in it. Oh well.... I sent the bad cylinder out to get redone so will have a new cylinder/piston sitting here ready to go. I lapped the head on a sheet of glass and some 150 emery paper just to clean it up. I sent out the other head to be "decked" along with the cylinder. So it's all assembled with new clutch plates, fresh oil as well as ANTIFREEZE IN THE RADIATOR. So aside from a test ride I am ready for the season!
Thanks Bandit! I am very happy with it! Heres my son and I in the mini class the same day, lots of fun!
Pics of bike today, it's for sale now in fleamarket. http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=925103
How did you clean up the plastics so nice? I was recently given an 89 cr125 and need to rebuild it. Any advice would be appreciated. Nice looking bike by the way.
I use Plastic Renew, if you follow the instructions it works great. I then use Maxima SC1 after every wash, not only does it give a shine it leaves the garage smelling lemony fresh!
Great looking shop you have there. How do you like that floor? Is it still possible to use a car floor jack on that? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks, Kevin Love the floor, it has been down for 4 years now and not a single crack or damaged tile. I have radiant heat in there so is a pleasure to work on in the winter as well, much easier on the feet than bare concrete. A floor jack is no problem.
