Here's some photos of the FXR/RS so far.
Still have to fit new oil cooler & plumb up, make airbox, spark erode output shaft so the sprockets line up and wire it up
Bike weighs now 82ks

Yep Jaden or Glen can ride it, if I can get it finished in time. Shit loads still to do and would like to run it at Mt Welly to give it a shake down, before we go any where.

Nice!

Where the hell are people getting these RS chassis' from?

There's heaps of NF4's around. They are not really worth keeping as a 125GP bike anymore... Unless for a mint museum piece

But by my count there's only 2 maybe 3 NX4's and a TZ125 chassis hiding away.
ESE have an ex Moto-Academy 95
Glen Orwin sold his rolling chassis to his boss
and a TZ125 roller was sold ages back...

The NX4's are still worth 6k with a low mileage engine 98+ but the 95's will slowly come up for sale... As the engines are slightly different and require a different rebuild set/parts running out. The 98+ bikes are still reasonable easy to get parts for.

The one in the picture is Glens. I have another that's in bits, I bought on Ebay from Aus 2 years ago

looks good, apart from the dirty 4 stroke engine of course

Well if anyone hears of a NF4 chassis for sale - preferably with shocks etc - please PM me.

I'm looking forward to seeing this at the GP!

The one I got in Aus was through one of the bucket racers over there

The silver one on Aussie Ebay a year or so ago maybe?

The odd one comes up over here. Generally whole bikes but for not much cash as the yanks mostly want the 4 strokes now and that devalues the NX4's. Getting one shipped to NZ doesn't cost too much if you can talk the seller into dismanteling and boxing it up.

Sort out the pipe on the FXR and go and race it hard. Find/reach its limits before bothering with the big budget (for a bucket) racer.
I have those RS cush rubbers for you, give me a call to arrange pick up.

I agree. The FXR is a very under-rated chassis. Stock its not bad at all... Minus the pipe...

PS I have a NX4 rolling frame for sale.... Oh has a engine and many spare parts too... 6000$ . Cheap bucket chassis.

Nice work looks great.

I'm all over this and I agree Kel!

...but I want to start piecing together a RS because it will be a while until it is going and I don't want that wait around when it's time. The FXR isn't going anywhere and I'm far from reaching its limit.
