    Stick with it mate, if it was easy I'd be doing it.

    Speaking of which, if you need anything fuct by an expert let me know, eh?
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    I'm good at wrecking it, without even riding the bloody thing.

    Dunno if anyone is reading this, but I'll post it up in hope.

    Been a busy weekend and couple days, getting the bike ready for it's first race this coming weekend.

    Got it fueled pretty well (I hope). Might have to take a soldering iron to the track and lean it out just a touch more in the morning to get max poke. I've done away with the shitty air filter things that were on it, after one came apart and my motor got a shit load of plastic crap through it. Better not have done any damage, I recall it making a funny noise briefly. No air cleaners means I needed to stop water getting at the carbs while I test ride it round the block, since it PISSED down this arvo. Enter the rear hugger off my RGV. WIN!

    Started getting the crash protection on too, so it's looking like I might just get the fuckin thing to a meeting after all.

    Has anyone ever made a wholly successful two-stroke twin before ,..ie GT or RD125 ?

    I remember back in the late 80's Pete Sayles having a T90 bored out to 100 and was an absolute rocketship. Wonder what ever happened to that..

    Last I saw it was lifted about 10ft off the ground in his workshop.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    sorry Chris, but if you've seen an RS125 frame they are incredibly skinny meant for an MX 125 engine but the RG50 goes in easy enough but not with much spare room. Having a few T125 engines they are surprisingly wide, I can't imagine the 90 being narrower. CBR250 frame maybe.

    Actually, as a former owner of 2 x T125's and a T90 (AND also an RS-125).....you are completely correct

    Perhaps a modern RS125 frame? They are alot more traditional design than the older generation ones with regards to the shock location. They seem to get CRF450's in them!
