[gav]

So might as well get a head start, another bucket on the way!

[Artifice]

that looks a lot like the dangerous bucket

[TonyB]

Cool. But whats that in the foreground? Not yours I take it?

[speights_bud]

Cool, few mods here and there and the odd go-faster bit and it could be a winner! :Punk:

[Bren_chch]

What a glorious machine!

That garage has its fair turnover of bikes!

[gav]

ohhh yeah it surley does aye..... heres a sneak preview of the newley painted #68 also note black motor with blingie cam cover, and if you look hardenuff over the back theres #12 My new death wish... been said to have won the 125 nationals with a elsanore motor and now to be as fast as the one of the quickest buckets in town.... problem is the running gear isent up to it, but give me time.
Yip #72 is Gav's new weapon of choice.......... you know there is a lot of Honda's in ther aye, infact they spill out the back door into the yard.... where I might add awaits a single shock frame for the Bren of chch to repower up..... comming to you soon :Punk:

[Bren_chch]

blimey! #68 is looking magic!!! :)

[diesel pig]

blimey! #68 is looking magic!!! :)

Yes he does piss around doing stuff to it that will not make it go faster.
Put that cam in it Mr D you have the book now! That will make it go faster

[gav]

Or just ride #12, thats definately faster!
Two strokes = real race bikes!!

[dangerous]

Put that cam in it Mr D you have the book now! That will make it go faster
Yeah I have the book/bible for the CB..... and a choice of cams, but can I please borrow ya guageie things so as I can be sure that the cam lobes are differant on the cams.

well........ definately faster at putting me on my arse, give it time I will be out on it soon.

Actually lads its a bucket round tomorow (11th) so providing health is up to it I'll have both #68 & #12 there....... but its not looking good for me, mind you bet ya the feild gets out of my way like seperating the red sea (some dude did that once dident he?) cos NO bastard wants what I have.... promice ya that :devil2:

[Sniper]

Bren, the way these guys act, I may be a bit scared in buying a bucket :devil2:

[Bren_chch]

you should be scared!!!

Ohhh shit, bloody unpleasant in an adult. Chicken Pox or shingles?

[gav]

Hmmm, time for an update...
To date I've manged to fit some rearsets, and fit new rear shocks...motor has a 34mm Keihen flatslide carb hanging off it, but this might need (errr will need) a bit more development. And today just scored a front end off a Yamaha RX125 for $20!!

[speedpro]

...motor has a 34mm Keihen flatslide carb hanging off it, but this might need (errr will need) a bit more development.
Those carbs are practically made for the MB but the 34mm version is too big unless you're going to make MEGA horsepower. 32mm should see you right or even a 28mm if you are only looking at say 20hp(rear wheel). I've actually had someone who knows what they're doing look into that sort of thing for me. To use the 34mm carb you would also need a 6-petal reed valve, ideally!

[froggyfrenchman]

i love buckets!

[nudemetalz]

From memory of racing my old 125T, I experimented with a few different cams, my advice is to not go to OTT as they lose what little low-end they have and just become like a 50cc screamer.

[nudemetalz]

I also raced an H-100 back in the old days. Dunno if you guys do it, but an MB-5 6-speed basically slots straight in. AFAIK the H-100 and MB100 cases are virtually the same (internally).
However,...for some reason I lost my neutral, but then didn't worry about it as I'd never miss a gear then ;)

All the hot H100's in CHCH run 6-speeders and yes Gav if your one has not got a 6-speeder it's not a hot one :crybaby: even if it does here a 34mm carb

[gav]

yeah yeah, actually thinking of a Cagiva Mito SEVEN speed box :finger:

PS Unless you happen to know of a spare box? :not: :psst:

[gav]

Tail section off trade me, $5-, yip five dollars :love:
Hmmm, looks like the bike will be red and black, then....
Also the 28mm Mikuni carb arrived today, $20-, sadly not a flat slide....

[dangerous]

PS Unless you happen to know of a spare box? :not: :psst:
Looking bloody good Gav... and I know were there is a 5 speeder :niceone:

Man, you are starting to look like a worry mate :spudwave:

Just something I rolled up from some sheet metal, made up some cones out of cardboard, just mucking about really.......look alright?















of course some of this could be complete bollocks....... <_<

Hey that gear looks cool its actually cool to see what you can do to a bucket when you start working that looks nothing like the original bike :rockon:

[gav]

Hmmm, carbs for Africa!!
Latest is a 27mm carb off an early NS250, might be a better option as a starting point.

[Sketchy_Racer]

they are rally good carbs- i run one on my (not mine any more stanko is buying it) RG100 i believe they are the perfect size to run on a 100cc two stoke :)

:niceone: Gav this is a much better size and with it being downdraft you wouldn't have the problems with the float height Dangerous was having with his MB100
Because the sidedraft carb was on so much of a angle the float height was set so low to stop fuel running down the inlet port that at full noise it was empting the float bowl. :argh:

Na I was...... but after the 1st race when I retired early I handed the bike over to the Diesel team for some tuning, so the Pig road it till the last race were I did again, and it hauled arse :niceone:

:2thumbsup To the Batch race team

Bugger off that was when I was rode it. When Kick rode it the machine was so over jetted it was almost four stroking which Kick DID NOT notice tells all you need to know about his abilty to tune two-strokes.

Srangely enough I managed to beat you pretty much every time I rode it though where as you couldn't even beat Dangerous on his CB125T on it :finger:

OK, just fitted some new handlebars and mucked around with the seat.

nice drummies on the front lol it could be a worth while investment to fit some disk brakes yea??? looking good tho :niceone:

Whats that quote from "WFI"? What do I need brakes for, not planning on slowing down....actually half way down page 2 you'll see the RX125 front end, but seems its going to take a bit to fit, but do have some other options I'm working on....

[k14]

Disc brakes are for pussies, all ya need is a good set of boots and then ya don't even need drum brakes :whistle:

opps sorry i should have read from the beggining - but ya dont need brakes-they just slow you down :whistle:

Sex on wheels!!! and its only a 125!
This is from the Milan motor show, Cagiva have released the Mito in a race style only, god damn thats one sexy looking bike! :2thumbsup
Now wonder if I can get the MB looking anything like that? :blip:

[Ivan]

Thats one nice looking machine is it GP motor or just proddy motor, Man imagine that racing at buckets

Latest news, I've got a fairing! Well, actually I've got two. The first is a little handlebar mounted job, the second will need to a frame mounted set up. Now, some grumpy old codger is likely to post that fairings are for poofters or some such eloquent verse, ahhh, but that Kickaha tosser can get stuffed! :yes:
So anyway, what do ya reckon?

fairings are for homo's, that's why D is putting his one on

OK, looks like I hit a snag. Had RX125 front end at work along with my MB100 front end. Managed to press out the MB stem, but managed to bend the RX stem, mechanic sort of said "ohh err", and buggered off and left it! He also mentioned that welding the MB stem to the RX triple clamps wasnt really going to work, would need to be set up in a jig or something and had to be a 100% true, blah blah blah....
Also the MB motor, so far havent managed to track down a better gear box, and looks like I'm going to be stuck with the standard 4 speed box.
So what are my options, wait and hope something turns up or buy another engine, then I need a better front end, so look for another rolling chassis, maybe? Suddenly, I'm looking for another complete bike! :doh:
Still, things like carbs, body work, shocks, handle bars etc can probably be used on another project.
So what do I do? What front end do other MB100 bucket racers use?
Do I try and find a more suitable rolling chassis (on 17" rims)?
Or do I look for something like a Suzuki GP100 and start again? Or look around and buy a ready to race bucket? Anyone got anything out there that I might be interested in?
cheers :2thumbsup

GT125/185 on both of my buckets, but neither are in MB frames.
