For Kel: B Grades bucket build

[Kendog]

yeah I've seen a 2.75 get away with a 115 ok.

I had a 115 on the 2.15 FXR rear wheel. So 2.75 should be no worries.

The Rolling frame weighs 55 kgs so is not exactly a light weight but no dumbo either. ( any one know what an FXR roller weighs? ) The rear will have to be be ok at 2.75 17 but the front is a dud. Still not sure on that Yamaha front end I bought as it looks a little on the large side with 38mm fork tubes, any ideas on a better suited front within a realistic budget. ( Already way past the limit her indoors agreed on )

I have a very similar front end on my bucket and it works sweet. My front wheel is from the 3LN model and is 2.75" wide. The earlier model with the single disc is 2.15" I think. Lighter wheels would be good but they're fine to get going. Clean the forks out and put in something like 20W oil. Ideally you want to adjust the compression damping. I forked out for some emulators but just closing up the compression damping holes will help.

20W is syrup. Will make it feel great on braking, but can't keep up on stutter bumps.

5w required at mt wllngtn then

[F5 Dave]

or water, which I suppose is 1w

Bloody two stroke light weights, we run 15wt in the diesels.

Smokers are only allowed to be 100cc water cooled how come diesels can be 150cc

Weight penalty, all those extra moving parts, and us fat lazy diesel riders need all the help we can get.
How come two strokes go bang so often?

That is really cheeky coming from an FXR owner.

[Henk]

Me? Cheeky? Anyway, I've only killed one FXR motor,and that was through mechanical incompetence.

You going to have this finished in time to run in B grade at Taumarunui?

Probably not. I have pretty much all the bits but turning them into a bike may take a little time.
