Great Rick, just what we need - you, Tim or Gav faster up here. Next you'll be telling us Tim's lining up another bucket as well.
You'll be best testing it at the two hour in November, in preparation for Taupo.

Good to see you are getting into the RS new bike project Rick. So much to do before Taupo. Same old story. Our water cooled GP100 is nearly ready for reassembly. Major parts are done
Hope fully with all going well 25+ HP. Fingers crossed.

I must say I'm a little disapointed. Abandoning the true sprirt of bucket racing and going from an FXR to a one off smelly two stroke with real power and handling. Shame on you.
How long before Will is circulating in the B grade with your cast off old bike?
Seriously though, look forward to being made to look even more stupid when you get this up and running.
Forum whore
you got that backwards
will is small and light so need a bike his size
rick will be lucky to do the test riding

Haha Will has problems with anything to do with Cr85 they spit him off evry time !
He is 13 in Febuary and the FXR will be sold to get some money back I think we will sort him a CB 100 for F5 as 2 strokes are not his thing
Used paint stripper to remove 8 layers of paint from the tank today it has some dents but I think I will keep it ally as it is a work of art (I like polishing ally )

Rubbish, FXRs are a lazy option. Good on ya Rick.
Will you have clearance for the carb vs shock? (or the rest of the engine to the frame for that matter).
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

TS-ER125 sounds a good option, If you arn't going to use that Suzuki GP125 engine I would be keen to buy it from you and the pipe too if your not planing on using that either.

Great to see another Bucket weapon taking shape..........
........will have to be ready for testing before Taupo.....
After breaking the alloy front mount at the BOB Chambers made this metal mount up and NedKelly riveted it on, if they were doing it again they said they would glue and rivet it.
Race it don't store it !
The engine carb is very tight but it will go.
I am having the frame welded and beefed up around the rad mount next week ..,I'm not sure if to sell the GP engine yet lets see how the TS go's... The forks have been cleaned out and new seals tonight but I'm not sure what air gap to leave' I used 130mm I think its a bit big but they feel great ,I used 10w fork oi...,I orderd the tail unit from the guy in CHCH $190 deleived not cheep but it should be good.

If you do decide to sell the GP engine and pipe and no other Bucketeer holds their hand up, we would be pleased to get them.

Rivets are great & that would be a fine & worthy mount for the radiator.
But they aren't so keen on vibration. I'd be looking at how you can bolt that on. That piece of the frame on the bottom isn't the best for that application. I'd be forming a plan B.
Don't you look at my accountant.
