Bucket bits wanted & services needed

[husaberg]

Ones I have don't have the mudguard mounts like that.

the early TZR250 ones are similar but maybe shorter.


Most FZR one i have seen look like this

[Drew]

Yeah, I got some like that. Ya want them?

[jonny quest]

Have you tried Japan broker sites to buy outside of Japan?
That sort of stuff has shot up in value insanely here in last 10 years.

Tell me about it. I've always wanted to build a replica 500gp bike. Hardest part was finding a RG500 motor. Gave up on finding one years ago. Randomly I find one 20min from my house on Craigslist not even looking for one!

Now to build a bike around it.

Any suggestions on a a good chassis for this , I'm all ears

[F5 Dave]

Yeah people put them in 22 frames. RS250s are harder. I' say come back 10 years ago. Or push ahead. A mate bought a 3MA for his RZ500 build from Japan.

I'e
Never done it myself but it used to be broker sites made Yahoo Japan aucion
Accessible.

Auction site TradeMe is NZ EBay equivalent and has killed off cheap bikes sorry to say.
maybe something like a CBR400 chassis would suit.

If I lived in the USA I would use a GSXR600-750 SRAD or later as they were pretty much the same geometry as Kevins bike.

The TZR250 3MA is imo the closest looking GP chassis

and about 400kg heavier.
Yamaha made roadbike sexy again.


That said the 3XV the sexiest of all was stinking heavy.
I mean not 4 stroke heavy, but just why compared to before??


Almost bought a 3MA. Besotted. Best looking road bike ever.

Somewhere I read the 3xv had a steel frame I have never seen one to see for sure.
Yeah the 3MA and the original RS250 Aprilia would have to be right up there in the shagability stakes.

[F5 Dave]

Nah it's ally. The swingarm was probably the most of it, maybe my judgement is ovely clouded by a particular bucket with an mb100 that just seemed big and heavy. Certainly compared with a mates TZ from which it bore resemblances but was a thing of pure racing lust and having worked on it and later helped him carry it up a set of stairs to reside in his loungeroom was certainly not heavy.

R6 swingarm rg500 engine

[jafagsx250]

Anyone want to buy an fxr150? It is currently in pieces and my bro is going over seas so can't finish it.

Location Auckland.

The link fell over, but that is sweet. It' either that scheme or the Pepsi as the best ever looking race bike, even though I'm prejudicially inclined to a Malboro YZR, just because.

it was a RG500 engined NSR500 rep the best i have ever seen in the Bestest Rothmans colour scheme
https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/...te-nsr-rep-ps/
if it doesn't work google nsr500 replica mcm.

[F5 Dave]

That is fantastic. I'd read about it in PS but not the completion.

Front still seems a bit raked and rear too high but I'll forgive it as that's probably what works best.

[jonny quest]

That NSR is gorgeous. That has a custom frame. Could I build a custom frame, yes. But that would add a year or two to the build.

I wonder if a R6 swingarm wouldn't be to hard to fit 3MA frame?

Thanks for the ideas guys.

have a look at Mike Costins site
http://www.micoproducts.net/500cc%20page.htm

if you google R6 swingarm swap you will likely find the width within a few minutes
https://www.motorcykelgalleri.dk/fot...agsvinger_maal
do the same with the 3ma.
the straight swap is to use the TZR125 banana arm tzr125 4dl sp swing

also adding the fzr wheel
