Bucket bits 4 sale

Think an FXR rim is 2.15?

Any way if that RG250 rolling chassis is a bit too scruffy for ya, there is always this!

Ohhhh, now that is pretty. I wounder how my RX125 engine would go in that frame? (runs off to check bank balance and reality slaps him over the face with a wet fish)

Nice one!!

If you ever take the GP100 apart, could you take a photo of the rotary disk valve? I'm keen to see what he's done to modify it.

hi Pumba, great if we could revive the sidecars again. there are alot of old chassis around, but maybe it should be looked at reverting to the normal bike with sidecar welded on as they were when bucket sidecars first started, before people went for smaller wheels, and lots of engineering on them, which made it more expensive, whatever way i am keen on getting one as it will be easier on my leg than a solo

Those original old bucket sidecars were a real problem. The later ones like those built in Palmerston north, by a guy who's name escapes me, were based on an original motorcycle frame but were modified to work with say 10" or 12" car style wheels. They weren't too costly and you got rid of all the problems caused by the original front forks and original motorcycle wheels. They were still pretty horrible compared to our sidecar which still only cost us $1000 or less including the big trailer it came on.

Suzuki FXR150 in the Turners Damaged Vehicles auction in Auckland tomorrow!

Looks like it's a runner and just has a bit of damage down one side.

I'd be keen to know what it sells for, can't get into the Live Auction thing from work so I won't be able to watch the auction.
