Bugger...... so another words, the GT would have to have a max carb size of 12mm?
Dont supose anyone knows the size of a GT125 carb's ??? X4 and ram air

Well the area of one 24mm carb is 452, so they would have to be 17mm carbs or smaller. Think one 24 & a manifold would be better. Still they have a crap 5 speed gearbox.

Go find an H100 or MB100. Or TS100/125, or GL145, or FXR150, or DT100/125, MT125. Or a CB125, or a GS125, or a kawa 100. RX125 go ok but have a bad gearbox.

Better yet get an RG or TZR50 & join the F5 class. In the last wgtn meeting there were three 50s giving it to the bigger bikes. Handling & brakes are a good thing & the 50s start with it std.

Well, it helped if you finished now and then rather than picking up bits that had fallen off your bike

Oh great... what about the A100? Also got solid footpegs, shit brakes but is it gutless? Hehe, I guess I'll just have to have fun on it, and forget about coming first

**StoneChucker** · 8th June 2005, 18:48

Hey Skunk, get the AX100 - I need some competition I can actually catch

**StoneChucker** · 8th June 2005, 19:17

Oh, I went down to Grayless Plastics, no 7 Sydney street as "someone" suggested earlier in the thread and found a timber company. A little while later, at number 70 Sydney street I found the shop

They have the PERFECT stuff for crash bungs there. 45, 50, 60 or 70 mm (diameter) plastic rods (some fancy high density plastic / polycarbonate). Ideal to drill a large pilot hole in, then sink a smaller bolt through and into the frame to make sweet sliders. I told him how much I want, and he was going to cut it but asked if I wanted a quote first. I wasn't too bothered, but said sure... Came out to $176.00 for 1.5 meters of it. $100 / meter including gst for the 45mm version. I don't wanna spend THAT much on THIS bike

So, will carry on looking for something to use, but what they had was ideal! Skateboard wheels are ok I guess, but I think they have a great chance of moving about (they can't be bolted on, they aren't thick enough).

Organised!

Will have a couple by Sunday.

And I promise not to be hard to catch.

EXCELLENT!!! I'm really looking forward to kick..., I mean learning with you on the track! Hey, if you ride the one that doesn't go then it might offset my weight disadvantage

Let me know what you do for crash bungs, would be good to get some help/ideas on that.

Skateboard wheels bolt on fine. The bolt head sits in the bearing recess.

**F5 Dave** · 9th June 2005, 09:10

WTF do you want 1.5M of the stuff?!?!!!! Are you trying to make stabiliser bars?!? Or do you have seven A100s to outfit?

You need some small rod turned down to plug the bar ends & some rod to screw over axles or attach to the frame. Shouldn’t be longer than 40-50mm. + Something to do the footpegs with.

threaded rod and skateboard wheels from the warehouse work perfectly well...4 wheels for $12 Ithink. Also a good idea to use an old plastic chopping board to cut up and use on the lower sides of your pegs. ive got some spare rims from a GS125, a set of forks, a race seat and a set of rear shocks if anyone is interested....I used to race an MB100..put it in a GS125 frame with slicks..the bike had a flatslide carb and stinger pipe..it was bloody quick in the right hands...just not in mine..lol I sold it....to anyone thinking about bucket racing...do it..its great fun and cheap as chips compared to bigger bike racing...great people who are always willingto help newbies....
