NSR FXR, the new No45

[F5 Dave]

Looks likes she's making some adjustments to your Bridgestones.

NSR? Nah Rich is too flash for that roadbike stuff. HRC pieces.

[richban]

Are they late model nsr wheels that came in 17 or something different?

Old Marvic RS125 Wheels. It will spend most of its life on the other RS wheels off the FXR in the pic. The thing I like about the MC21 is that it started life on 17's. So hopefully the good geometry they have won't be messed up with tyre profile differences. Must check that out.

Well its time to say goodbye to old Number 45 as I know it. New bike needs some bits. We have had some good times and some bad. Race wins and hospital visits. More wins than visits so thats the main thing. Anyway so there will be some bits being put on trademe soon namely the Fab rear shock that transformed the bike. Also Front end and other bits that don't get recycled for the new build. Also put some pressure onto get the new bike finished before the next round. A sad day in the shed for sure.

Box of beers for the rear shock and wheels? I'll cover the freight cost.
But seriously why not offer the shock up here and on the fxr150 site, everyone knows how well it works.

I just did. Also on trademe they work in cash money not beers. Will pull it out tomorrow and get the proper measurements and shit. It's longer buy 5 or 10mm can't remember.

He didn't say anything about the wheels Kel

[richban]

Hell no them wheels are gold it seams. Never will they be sold.

Here is some of that rear shock stuff I was talking about.
It may not be 100% correct but can give a good idea for a starting point. I'm gradually getting more info.
My Spreadsheet tells me where the data comes from by different colours but I'm not going to get that complex here.
A lot of it is from the racetech website.

"Type" (e/e or e/f) means eye/eye or eye/fork (clevis).

Cheers Mate. You can add to that the MC21 and 28 rear shock is 300 eye to eye.

Cool. Perhaps we could build a collaborative online library of info?

Having enough trouble building a bike.

Well not much progress. Pulled it apart again to sort the back wheel alignment was 5mm out so easy to sort. Also now the rear break is all sorted. Should have the rear end back together with new swing-arm seals over the weekend. Looking to have the bike finished end of next week. Well ridable.

Looking to buy a tig as well. I plan on keeping the old FXR frame and making a new frame around it. Well we will see how that goes.

[richban]

Well after ages of thinking we had the engine all sorted and ready for assembly Kevin has decided its not silly enough and needs bigger cams again. Check the intake valve pockets. Should have a heap of top end. Will loose a little at the bottom but thats what the gears are for A. The pumper should help as well. Spent some time on the chassis today. Have a plan for the front break mounting now. Will have some break disks for sale. 2 x Metal gear RS 125 rotors machined down from 296 to 290 reall good nic. Also 4 x NSR 250 all seam good haven't used them on anything. Will check they are straight tomorrow. Anyone keen PM me ta.

Check the intake valve pockets.

Sick shit. Does that require cutting a bit of liner away to accommodate the silly sized valves too?
