I Currently have a 2002 cr-80 expert, and I don't do too many mods to it for freestyle. I have Applied clamps and renthal fat bars for barhops and such, and I have oversized footpegs added as well. As far as plastics, I don't do any modifications, as the cr-80 has a gap in the number plate- gas tank junction where there is just a section of the seat that I use. For Cosmetic pourposes I have just bought Throttle Jockey "woody" graphics to cover up the scratches in the shrouds and tank. Renthal Soft grips top it all off, as well as Pro Action suspension mods. I run my suspension pretty stiff for freestyle, and on the occasion that I race, I lower the compression and rebound slightly.

Ehm.. I've got grab holes, shaved rear fender, slightly shaved front fender.. cut the little clip thing on my front plate off...
that's all the plastic mods i've done :) i shaved my seat down..
bleh.. that's about it.
otherwise, i've just got tag bars, moto triple x graphics, and black rims. white plastic, white frame.. (plastic and frame are stock though).. bleh. thats about it. oh yeah.. race tech suspension stuff too
here's a picture.. doesnt show the black rims. i'll have a new picture of it relatively soon. i also made the grab holes bigger and actually started working on using them ;)

Your bike is a yz right? Well its at the latest like a 94 right? So u put them white fenders on it,thought they all had white then, also the frame did u paint it or is it a older yz that had a white frame?

i cut smallish grab holes (as far as i could go without attacking the airbox) , cut the clip off the # plate...
i did have the seat cut, but it felt crap, so i put the foam back on. im starting to do seatgrabs again now, so i might have another go at cutting it... :D
tried double grabs yesterday, feels so weird floating off the back, trying to grab a fat seat

My bike is a '96. It's the same style (plastic/frame and just about everything else) as a 2001. And as I said... I didn't put the plastic on there. I said it was stock... so the plastic was white when I bought it. I kept it white because not very many people have white bikes, and I like the way it looks more than black.
The frame was also white when I bought it. I repainted it white to make it look new again...
