my friend has his 125 done. he used a kuba link for the back to drop it a couple of inches and had his fork sent out to chop 2 inches of travel off of them and slid then in the triple clamps a inch. He also shaved the foam on his seat down. I would say he dropped his 125 a good 3-4 inches. It feels way smaller than my 125 and we both have 2002 CR125's.

I think that would be a better option than then trying to put a 250 motor into a 150 frame becuase you are still going to be stuck with a short wheel base and small wheels. But your faster on a 150, i say just race that if the class allows it.
