Always with the details! Coating the bolts was very nice touch. Glad you hit on the fact that the threads weren't affected with the Cerakote over painting. Not gonna lie, I've always been a little hesitant with those style pipes, but it fits the look of the old-school two-stroke mixed with modern freshness. 👍👍
Vapor blasting or any blasting and sanding will remove the original oxidation from the aluminium surface. Salty moisture will attack the bare aluminium and oxidize it rapidly, hence the white dusty spots. The natural oxide layer will occur under several hours in a non corrosive environment. Usually, the aluminium is eloxed or clear coated on the bike. I'd clear cerakote the entire frame to make it last. Have fun in Serbia (cheers from a neighbour country)
Thanks for the feedback! I prefer to leave the vapor blasted frame raw, as maintaining it without a clear coat is as easy as rubbing it down with an SOS pad. With a clear coat, some spots will wear first, and refinishing will not be uniform. All preference though.
Kincade, you have done once again. I'm was so exited to see that fresh pipe. Nobody fixes up bikes like you do bro!!! Can't wait to see who will be the lucky winner of this thing!!! Love watching your vids bro and shoutout to mxrevival. He really did a great job with the frame!!!😍😍💪💪👍👍
Curious about why you use the green Simple Green vs the purple? The green corrodes aluminum, especially when left to sit or soak. The purple is made specifically to be used on aluminum for that reason.
I like a project and especially an underdog project, honda gave up on 2sts back in the late 90’s so its great to see one still going, I think the best cr’s were mid 90’s before the silly Ali framed stuff
Looks like surface oxidisation on the frame, packaging / storage potentially in a humid/damp place and a lack of oxygen will cause that effect quite quickly. Oh a nice build! its going to look great I'm sure!
I had those rc handle bars on a kx I had me personally I didn’t get on with them n went back to some rental twin walls but it’s all in the preference n what a job your doing my friend
Hey Kincade, first off nice work! Your work has been a huge inspiration and motivation as I restore an '06 KX250. I might have missed it, but do you have the color name/part number for the silver cerakote you used on the swingarm? I like that look a lot better than the brushed look I currently have going on.

You build some cool bikes. Is the carb a Mikuni or a Kehien on that bike? I never heard of altering the offset on a CR250. Did you add or reduce it? Im surprized more companies dont sell cone pipes because they look so cool
@KincadePavich I bet that CR is going to turn like a slot car. I reduced the offset on my WR450 and it made all the difference. It actually felt lighter. . I got a Stic PWK for my 125 but haven't mounted it yet
I designed it and DeCal Works printed it for me! I'd reach out to them. If you want me to send you the file, let me know what you'd like changed (year, etc) and I can get it to you. Shoot me an email kincadep@gmail.com

That bike is going to be breath taking once done
Glad you think so
Not if it's mine first 🤣. Good luck bro
Man this is gonna look amazing, that sticker on the head tube is a really great touch!
Thank you! The old one was too worn out to leave, so I had to add a custom touch!

I think white clamps on the rad hoses would look dope and compliment the black and red parts very well
That hygge pipe looks awesome the rads were definitely a neat surprise can’t wait to see it done

Gotta support the man who started it all!

Honda made a works edition , it’s called mugan
Bike looks gorgeous! That pipe 🤤
Thank you Luke!! The Phathead ties it all together so nicely. Appreciate you!
That bike looks SICK hope you do a 125 build as good as that
Incredible build, subscribed!
hey Kincade love ur channel and work but ur just taking a while to upload these cr250 build im allready waiting for the new one
The bike is insane keep up the work man love the content
Hey Kincade, where'd you get the Honda year sticker for the frame? Do they make year specific replacements so you can replace it after vapor blasting?
That pipe is looking awesome!
Hygge does such a great job, so stoked on this thing!
Awesome so far KP. Is that stick for the headstock a repro? Can they be bought?
I can’t wait to see it done
Me neither
this thing is going to be nuts 😅
Spectacular 😮
Someone needs to teach this guy how to pack bearings.
I’ve gotten this comment a couple times so I’m sure you’re right - any tips?

Love watching your vids especially the bike builds. What camera do you use to film?
Thank you! I film with a Panasonic G85. Riding and such GoPro Hero 10 Black and an iPhone 13 mini.
You build some cool bikes. Is the carb a Mikuni or a Kehien on that bike?
I never heard of altering the offset on a CR250. Did you add or reduce it?
Im surprized more companies dont sell cone pipes because they look so cool
The carb is a SmartCarb! I talk about it quite a bit in later videos and go through the tuning process. The offset was reduced from 24 to 22mm.
@KincadePavich I bet that CR is going to turn like a slot car. I reduced the offset on my WR450 and it made all the difference. It actually felt lighter. .
I got a Stic PWK for my 125 but haven't mounted it yet
Cool vid with Charles can’t wait to see the bike
Charles is the man! So stoked he agreed to help out on this. What a guy!
@@KincadePavich yeah, he is as cool as they come🤙
nice job kincade
Thank you!
how would shipping be to ship to alaska ?
Loving the build. But please dont use rusty tools or sockets on a fresh nut or screw
What's the coating you put on the bolts etc
Quality mate 👌
Thank you!
Dent in frame at 14:16?
Where do you get the head tube tags that say rebuilt in USA? Currently building an 04 cr250. Would love to have something like that
I designed it and DeCal Works printed it for me! I'd reach out to them. If you want me to send you the file, let me know what you'd like changed (year, etc) and I can get it to you. Shoot me an email kincadep@gmail.com
4:05 what metode is this please ?
Do you have to live in the states to enter?
dang, that bike is mint
It's getting there!!
White with two lumps
Make it a short one incase I win !
Where did u get the 2023 frame tag
DeCal Works printed it for me!
I'm curious why youns dont use a die grinder?
For what?
@KincadePavich is more powerful and spins faster than a dremel and is still compact enough for most projects
Nice 👍
I want one please
thats called oxidation. should have protected the aluminium...wd40 or polish ......
"cries all night in European" :(
But is it not possible 😔
Not second but saw only 1 comment so I hope so :D
Edit daymmm I'm never this early 😎
Coffee = Hot* , sweet & blonde lol
