    Noooooo not wiseco.............

    I've found the parts I've got for the USA to be good. I got an engine rebuild kit for $200 NZD with every seal and gasket for my bike, plus piston rings etc. I was an athena piston and a pro x conrod in the kit.

    Try Wild west honda as I got some really good pricing from them the other day

    Also I'd get the one he has sussed first a bit of tidying up might do the trick. Havn't seen it in real life but it didn't seem to bad.

    Damn those pistons etc are cheap. Just Pistons 4 my CR125 $97-00 and the 250 $140-00 plus rings, pin etc etc. getting a price from Ecohonda now as well. Weisco piton kit for the KX85 $180-00. BY the time you apply the exchange, freight and the "no refund if its wrong thing" is it still worth it though?? The problem with the usa is getting them to ship to NZ.
    i can get stuff out of the usa if you want checke out parts-unlimited.com can get most stuff on the site

    hey Barty

    Sent you an email earlier with a list for the next 30 hour redo on my bikes.

    Be kind to me with the pricing Please!

    Ok, coming in on this a little late, but for those of you with CR/CRF's, you can view the parts microfishe for them here:

    http://www.planethondaracing.com/cgi...daparts/parts/

    Note for the CR250's they only do '97 onwards.
    I told him,
    "Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?"

    He said,
    "Coach, I don't know and I don't care."

    Nah, still haven't mate. Decided not to pursue the seller, not worth the hassle in the end.

    After September 1st the bike will be getting either a

    1) Everything checked over, replace what needs doing/or doing soon.
    2) 350cc conversion kit (kit is bolt on, includes new barrel, pistion, head etc, so engine would basically be brand new ignoring the bottom end.)

    Don't know which route I'll take, see how much money I can save after the wedding. I kind of found the 250cc 2 strokes lacking in power (ok, probably can't ride it to its max, but I like power used to alot more on the road bikes) so I figure the 350cc kit might be a goer, just have to hope the exchange rate stays as it is for a little longer so it doesn't cost to much!!

    Don't want to go 4 stroke, so buying a 450 is out of the question, and I've heard the 500cc 2 strokes are to heavy for track use.

    Either way, I wont be touching it until after September
