Bucket update

**Ivan** · 21st January 2006, 01:04

Ok I have quad electrics on the motor at the momment but have a Exhaust system CDI and Carb coming in from Thailand, I am doing the motorcycle mechanics course at Weltec this year and am going to tune the fuck out of the motor, i will bore it to 150cc and maybe run a oil cooler cause I read for aircooled motors that are used for high performance it is good to run an oil cooler system

**Sketchy_Racer** · 21st January 2006, 08:22

you wont be able to run a oil cooler..... not without some serious modifications.

but boring it out to 150 sounds like a better idea.

oh and when are you coming over??? and when you do bring me some new tires! for ma bucket

[Hijack] Minor stuff delaying things... Need either bearings to fit the RG/AX axle size or
drill out the RG forks and AX swingarm. Thinging of drilling as the best option as I have axles for the wheels. Then it's just the spacers to sort.
The clip-ons I had make don't fit. They aren't quite the same as the design I gave but can be machined. Can you post a pic of the ones on your RG Brent? I might copy them.
Also been offered a KH100 with a buggered motor at a really good price. Told it is setup well (clip-ons, disks rearsets etc). Haven't seen it yet though.
What to do...

**Sketchy_Racer** · 29th January 2006, 15:22

what to do??

get all the shit that you can posibly get.

Build a bike out of all the best shit, then give the rest away or sell or what ever...... thats the bucket way

**Skunk** · 29th January 2006, 21:20

Nah, that's the OLD bucket way.

The NEW bucket way is to buy the fast/best Thailand special Replica and go racing with it.

Yeah I know I am only getting the parts from thailand cause they are cheap.

I had the same problem when I joined there were alot of guys on bikes that were buckets but over the last few years I have seen buckets go a little far,

Im just hoping that with a nice chassis like this one and a old 70-80s tech motor with minor mods will perform well.

actually do any of you guys have a bored out xl,ct,tl 125 to 150 barrel

This " when I started bucket racing blah blah blah now it's just the $$$s" thing has been getting brought up over and over again for as long as I can remember. Theoretically buckets should now cost more than a Yamaha M1. Funnily enough they don't. Also with "ALL" the changes that have been made to the regulations it is still the same "old school" buckets that are the fastest. To go fast does cost money, that's the way it is, even in bucket racing but fast buckets don't cost any more than they did when I started more than 20 years ago.
