hello all,
found this forum after buying my son a 2005 CRF50 today for his 7th birthday.
I've been a Honda four stroke single guy since my first bike,
a 1983 Honda XL250, bought a new XR250L in 1993 & currently
ride a 1972 XL250 (see photo below)
That's why it had to be a Honda XR for my sons first bike.
Problem is that he's small for his age & even the 50 is a bit much for him.
I've searched around & found plenty of ways to raise the bike, but
nothing to lower it.
one problem is the previous owner installed a very nice but 10.5"
aftermarket shock. Going to look for a used original 9" one but still don't think it'll be enough.
I've even thought about removing the shock altogether & making it a temporary hardtail to get the seat hight down.
Anyway, here's a picture of my XL, I'll post a photo of both bikes together when I get one.
