Bucket bits 4 sale

Would that be the shizzle for my CBR Rich?

It probably would be the 'shizzle' ( old people...) if you have the patience to set the thing up.
My understanding is that they are not the simplest of things.


But I would like to hear why Rich decided not to use it on his rocket ship.

A nice set of wheels for your FXR. Not cheap but all the work has been done for you.

He might have realised that his bike has far to many moving bits and only fires once every 2 revolutions. Whats up with that?

Why are you selling it Rich. I seen it on trademe when you brought it. I remember thinking at the time how much of a difference a real carb would make to a FXR150. Was it not a goer on the tractor.

Reason for selling is I have another one. Need the money. It should be one of the best carbs around for a tuned 150. As it is off a crf I figer the needle will be bang on and the jetting not to far out. I have been to lazy to set it up coz I will need to make a manifold. I have the Ali now so not long. It is a bargain band new and all that.

Could also have something to do with fuel injection. Or not. Or maybe yes.

I have been very tempted a couple of times taht you have put it up on trade; however the piggy bank is empty

Would you consider a Payment Plan? $1 a week, interest fee. Come on you know you want to.

Stupid money for those wheels I personally feel. Even if the work has been done.

Are you joking? $400 clams for a pair of wheels to fit a common race bike, that's a farkin bargain.

I am skeptical about the "work's been done for you" bit. How much bloody work could there be?

Well I sold a set off RS125 wheels for 550 a year ago. Stupid fool. Them wheels are heavy. I wouldn't call them race bike wheels. 800 is taking the piss.

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion. But I would be wanting something a shit load lighter than commuter bike wheels for that money.

As for the work done. As the are off the GSF250, and looking at the pics I would say that work done includes bearings replaced for FXR axle size, center spacer fabricated or bored out, spacers fabricated, and I am pretty sure those disks have been turned down to match the standard FXR disk sizes and brake caliper locations, but I am not 100% sure on that.

So this is a new unmolested in any way carb just as it came from the factory? The "Rubber spigot connector not shown" will suit an FXR? What's the electrickery connectors for? Some kind of solonoid? Thanks Rich.

Throttle Position Sensor would be my bet.

General post here - quoting Pumba as pretty much on the money for what has happened to the wheels.

Depends on how much skill(s) you do or do not have with a Lathe(sp). If you dont then its going to cost you, pretty simple really. Nothing for free or cheap these days. If you are lucky enough to find a set of wheels at a cheap price then good on ya.

If everyones concerned bike weight, the FXR's would be replaced with RS rolling chassis with a two-stroke motor with Ti bolts littering the bike & engine. Otherwise just hold the throttle wide open, brake later.
