100% did this and it's so incredibly worth it. Two things I did differently...used SW Motech light mounts and replaced the switch with a $10 waterproof/illuminated handlebar toggle from Amazon...massive improvement on my '21 Versys 300. THANK YOU!

At 9:22 you put a retainer on for the cam chain tensioner.. I'm currently rebuilding an '01 XR250R and I don't remember there being one of these retainer clips in mine. It also appears as though no one sells this retainer clip. Do you have any idea if this is a necessary component?

The Axle assembly should come in from the left side of the swing arm.

Thx today i installed the same one work great 🎉🎉🎉 thx for the video

Just moving the shifter flexed the entire bracket.. the Bracket needs to be steel.

Ty man...awesome video...I'm going to get some

Any video plans for the tail light and license plate?

Hi, thanks for the good videos and I do similar stuff on my bikes. A quick question, where did you get that Speedo bracket from please? I'm in England. Thanks.

I have a 2006 Harley Davidson sportster that I just installed forward controls and the break side wouldn’t work with the exhaust that I have on the bike so I had to buy a extended bracket to make it work

To recover it

I have not used my XR-250 for more than a year Since it stopped suddenly . please let me know what action I should take.

Kit how to order?😊

Bro how to order that kit thank you

I just did this on my 2003 XR250R, its a really fun bike!

Sure enough not showing the tough part.

hello, great video, thanks. are you still happy with the bags? just ordering now but they are about 60 E.

Hi sir im from philipines how to order a overhaul gasket for xr250r?

Saving the day 🎉 thanks for the information ℹ️

What year is this motor?

Are you running the tall or short prism sissy bar?

why does everyone paint things, powdercoat it so it'll actually be worth your time. im over people painting frames to try & make it look nice to sell then wears off in one good ride lol

I've been in a weird place for a while on forwards. I've wanted them but couldn't see paying the "Harley fee" for oem co tools, but also have been burned by the Amazon knock-offs in the past. This video was perfect and I did as you suggested, through a combination of recycling the hardware from the mids and bought some bits at the hardware store. Drenched in loctite and torqued gingerly.

I have to disagree, it’s not a “modern” look. The sporty brow has been around for 40 years. It looks badass on an extended 35mm narrow glide front end on a shovel or a sportster.

I did a Hybrid of this. I bought the TCMT. Any part in the kit that did not meet muster I placed aside and ordered the HD Part on Ebay. Once I got my parts to satisfaction I changed my Mids out and installed the Forward Controls. I then sold all the parts individually on Ebay and made my money back for the entire cost of changing them out. The Foot Rest Mounts seemed to be the weakest and like Pot Metal so they had to go. Certain bolts did not pass muster as well. I also went with an After Market Shift Rod that was superior to both TCMT and HD OEM. After Market Heel Toe Shifter and Brake Pedal was exchanged for TCMT or HD OEM versions. It was nice I broke even as the parts are in demand on Ebay.

my Motorcycle cant start, whats a problem?

Hello from germany 🙂 Great work! I saw this and built the same thing yesterday. Therefore I found a 1" stainless steel sheet but my headlight is kinda shaking when the Sportster is running at low rpm. Did you have the same problem?

Hey there! There is an oil seal already installed on the inner side of right side cover on 17:35. If it is possible, please provide me with its number or dimensions. Cannot find it in catalogue, neither on one installed now. Thanks in advance!

great video bro

The answer is NO. I've bought these twice and have had both the rear brake lever and shifting rod bolts break

Reassembling my xr250 I spent an hour digging thru drawers, checking bags of parts and crawling around on the floor, sweeping out the garage, checking the driveway, looking for the missing WRIST PIN BEARING!!!ARGH! I finally gave up when it got dark, super angry with myself for somehow losing this critical part.....and then went to try to order one.... lol. You may or may not realize that the problem is.... 4 strokes dont use wrist pin bearings.

Thanks for the video. How are they holding up till now?

i got this same set on mine and honestly it does good just make sure to check the bolts that come with the kit regularly cause they love to come loose even with loctite i had one fall off on my shift linkage while riding lost the ability to shift and replaced the main bolts for shifting with some lowes specials and havent had a issue since

Thanks for pointing out the issue with the mounting position.

A question have the 84 XR 200 RFVC. Duel carb smokey on startup Suspect oil rings. And Valve stem seals have not rebuilt any 4 strokes is this the same engine only different displacement Cheers 🇦🇺.

Going to install same stuff in Saturday, thanks for tutorial, friend!

Oh, and quick tip for welding: grind a chamfer into the pieces to be welded if it’s gonna be a butt joint. This creates a 'bed' for the welding rod to fill in and increase the stability of the piece dramatically since you don’t just tack the outside of the plate together but fully fill it with material, making it almost like a solid plate. (Hope you got what I mean, my English isn’t perfect…)

For cutting out the square hole in the bracket, you could also use a jig saw with a metal blade, some cutting oil and slow cutting speed. Nice build though!

Anyone know if they sell different valves for heavier riders 230lbs

End gap. Piston ring end gap.

this is exactly what i need to do. sweet video, wish i would see how you ended up running your wiring

The rear brake pedal does not come with a dust seal for the pivot shaft?

Man if you're showing an installation video it helps greatly to mention the socket size your using while performing a certain task

My clutch is sloppy, brake solid scarey sht

Looking forward to next week!

I have a 1991 XLX 250R with this RFVC engine. Only one mechanic in my town accepted to rebuild it for me.

Thanks for this video , I'm swapping the 47mm Showas from a Honda CR250R spare set onto a 1982 Husqvarna 250CR , improving the long-legged desert flyer's already plush but dated handling performance and gaining the much needed disc brake!

This is fricking awesome brother love it ❤❤❤

Will these fit on my 2021 softail standard?

Will the parts in these links fit my 2002 Honda xr250r?

Can you list all the tools you used please 🙏
