New guy to Buckets

[husaberg]

CBR250 17inch front wheel with 90/80/17 tire so I would assume the higher wall slimmer tyre will fit ok.

YEAH but won't it will look a little odd if its a wide wrap around?
Any way go for the carbon it's a bucket after all.
It will look sweet once you get some Magnesium Honda RS250 wheels for it.

Yes. Im not sure ill get the wheels. They are on special for 1500usd at the moment but I need to get everything else sorted before I push my luck with the wife on that item. I tried telling her a good motor could cost 2k and she gave me angry secks but not a go ahead on the engine.

The mille guard side fit on the 120tyre is a very close fit so idd say 15mm each side gap. The guard isnt a full type so should look ok. the carbon one the guy has is so damaged idd need repair it and paint it black. I might opt for the new carbon one from the UK depending on the freight price which he will need send me. At least idd have a bling looking good handling slow bucket racer.

What if I was to get the 50 carbon damaged and take 10mm out of the centre the whole way down and repair it narrowing it and put 5mm spacers on each mount? that could work. Sounds like a god idea or not?

Mines 2.5 rim also and that looks good so maybe ill just get the bling carbon UK or the local 120 stock guard.

What disk is that?
great to know there is also another source of 3 spoke 2.5x17 as well.
I see You a have a brembo. What is that from.... sliding 2 pot?4 pot.
zip ties very bucket chic.
Mossey now wheres your 6 pot AP.

RE the gaurd wow fits better than i would have thought.
question is, what does a front guard actually do on a bucket?

PS mossey is there un-angry secks?

I dont think mine needs anything more than a sliding 2 as its a slow bike and with the heavy Aprilia front ill prob do stopies all the time.
Guard keeps you from stubbing your face on the tyre if you go over the forks. I assume your saying we dont have to have one.

I think the disk is a RD350 LC one, the caliper is a 4 spot Sumitomo off a TZR250 3MA I think the brembo sticker is just to confuse trainspotters

Dammit ... now my secret is out! The front guard keeps water from splashing from front wheel .... Ohhh, and it looks cool, and only cost $32 incl freight.

I was just thinking what they actually do on a bucket i never ran one cause i couldn't be arsed.
The road bike yeah stops the water slash etc but it was a serious question.

Stop the face hitting the wheel.... i guess so but you would have to pick you crashes.I normally slide into the bales "gracefully" myself.
the only other one excluding the streamlining effect on a faster bike was to stop rocks and shit bashing the rad.
Obviously not an issue with air cooling.

Trainspotters aronaks (got me)
so its a fixed disk?

Got myself the wrong brembo on TM i didn't know they had 2 different stud spacings and the pads are different to the spare pads and part i already have will be harder to fit as well bugger.

yeah but the water other than getting the bike wet is it really an issue.
I am guessing you are still going to get wet anyway plus the bike will too.
Yeah it does look cool though

What spacing do you need 40mm or 65mm?

Im feeling your pain. It took me 8hrs to make and fit plates and wheel spacers to get almost no drag on the disc from the pads. Had to move the caliper 15mm inwards to get it mounted. A bolt on 6 pot would have just needed spacers as my disc is same size as the mille lol.

I think 40mm. The one i have got i am pretty sure is 65mm. (Guzzi i think.) Def 65mm shit its a bloodly left too and no pins as well.
i can run and out an measure. The spare pads i have are all for RS125 Honda NX4 and 5's but why are the pads to different (Bloody Italians)

The Aprilia spacing is 65mm post pic and how much did you pay?
