CRM80 build?

[Ivan]

Time for me to go out to the shed and continue working onmy shitty old 70's single piece head xl125 and turn it into a fire breathing dragon well not really put on the honda xr200 2 piece head with a ported head thin head gasket and total loss igntion in my JDR Moto4 RSF125 Chassis

The point I guess I was trying to make is that if you were to start from scratch on an rs framed water cooled 100 the chances of it running to under two grand would be pretty slim. And that is what Choppa had said he had to spend earlier in the thread.
His budget is around what it takes to put a reasonable FXR together not counting time and embuggerance, and people struggle to sell them for that. Choppa at least is coming in with a reasonable budget, others still seem to think that $350 should get you a race winner.

Agreed mate. 2k spent properly and some do it yaself should get you something pretty good. IMO, for what I see them selling for, FXR's are a total bargain and the best thing for Buckets since
RG50's. Slap on some RS wheels, better brakes, fork brace and revalve and you have a potential winner. I am waiting to see someone graft a rear end from a late model RS125 onto one or better still how about an FXR motor in an NX4 RS chassis.

They don't really fit... but others may have more skill and make it work.
We got close with the shortened DR200 swing-arm; which left plenty of options for linkages and better shock setup; at half the weight.

bit a waste of a NX4 don't you think.... (I shouldn't start that conversation again..)

Or maybe just build your own complete frame...

What piston did you have planed Ivan?
Kicka and me have found some that are either budget or bling.


There are also bigger valved heads other than the XR200 that suit.
and possibly better gearboxes to suit.


seen this today too

As ya do...

So I have purchased the rolling chassis and the CRM 80. I have paid for the CRM but have to pick it up from Morrinsville when I go up to Hampton at the end of the month.

Then it will be the mission of fitting my 8hp beast into my heavy frame

[F5 Dave]

some bailing wire should do it.


Or some of that cling wrap stuff they use on pallets.

I didn't think you looked that fat. But what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is no concern of ours.
