I'm building one

[Brian d marge]

Ahhh building bikes for nothing , welcome to my world !!!

It will cost some money, but you would be surprised what you can do with a bit of resourcefulness...

Cant tell you the current bike , as its top secret , and I would have to eliminate any potential leaks , but its a VMX Cr250 I did the frame, and Suspension internals , for less than I would spend at the pub

The one up on the bench next, is an Enfield chop, rigid using a SU carb AHAHAHAHA , Ive set my self a budget 100k yen and a time limit , the custom chop show next year in Nagoya ( April )

I love this kind of a challenge, and its amazing how cheap you can get a class looking bike together .... last year I bought a complete TX650 Yamaha for I think 500 dollars , in NZ ( gave it to my old man as a thank you )

What got me all fired up was an article in an UK bike mag about these two northerners , who having no money , would buy an old bike and spending as little ( and I mean little ) they would restore these old bikes and ride them to big events such as the IOM.

Finally I must say the one good thing about living here in Japan , is they don't have this sort of culture , ( is changing though) but you can still find real bargains ,

right lets go and see if that paint is dry !!

Mike told us how much had been sunk into that FZR engine. Everything costs money, it isn't a hacksaw job.

Scrape together $500 & wave it under Bryce's nose & seen what he can find is probably the easiest & most likely to bring fruit of something workable in a reasonable timeframe.

Sorry Dave as this is a Kiwibiker bucket build thread so therefore.
In the classic tradition of a bucket build thread I didn't actually expect him to build it.

But here is something that does run has extra stuff to flog off It is DOHC 4 valve 125cc 5 speed and is $900 on the road. Don't laugh it could work with a new frame and a bore out.

it looks like it can be uprated to FXR150 piston at least i will check out the valve sizes in TKRJ

It may end up cheaper as I don't imagine too many people would want to pay $900 for that. I may be wrong though.

Want a ZZR600D/400K front caliper and master? I have some spares here you're welcome to, I have a spare rear caliper, it's a queer twin piston one, but has a pinched seal.
Might have some other bits of shit floating around too.

Cheers mate, but would mean replacing the front end with something normal. The MVX roller has Honda's questionable inboard disk thingy.

I do appreciate all the looking for bargains you guys are doing, but I think some of you are missing the point a bit. I have no money, now in most people's vocab that means they could only scrape together a couple hundy for a motor, in mine it means I am skint.

I will be doing my fine lady's bidding for anything that needs purchased.

However, I'm a very ingenious when it comes to fixing broken things. So if you've got a broken motor, or know someone who does I could really do with that.

[F5 Dave]

fair call, I couldn't rub 5hundy together atm without owing it elsewhere& having an infraction.

only drama with the MVX is the 16"er. I think a lot of crap was written about inboard discs over the years by people too stupid to know how to take the wheel off.

Yeah mate, on further research they both seem like good ideas

I got some free tyres for ya drew......

I have ZZR fork lowers and internals that are usable, so if you can find some 41mm legs for cheap/free, the fork lowers/brakes are yours.
It's easy enough to steal shit....
I have a set of four CVK-D32 (I think, will look tomorrow) you can have if you need a carb, or four.
I even have a spare ZXR400L fork stanchion.
I'm in the same boat for cash at the moment.

The first attempt to get one off is usually enought o put anyone off trying again. Sport Demons are my tyre of choice on this thing unless I change the front end, which might be a possibility.

I think a 200 section rear might be slight overkill bro, nomatter how much I get Gaz to skim the head.

Might very well be keen on the forks there mate, will see how bent whatever Bryce has is and let you know. Got quite a few carbs off various bikes already, but cheers.

Yeah I remember back in the day making the mistake of taking my CBX550 in to a prominent wgtn centrely located motorcycle shop get a new tyre away back in the day & returning to "oh it will be another 1/2 hr" as the poor apprentice hammer bearer was a bit short of smarts & it was taking him a while.

From memory it was three 10mm head bolts take the cover off either side (550s had twin disc, 400s single), bungy it out of the way, remove the callipers/torque arm bolt, screw driver twist to take the disc off, axle out - job jobbed. Haven't done one for 20 years but got pretty good at it as I never took the bike into a shop again after the above mentioned cretin didn't tighten the torque bolt & it dropped out while I was riding the next day.

I donate something to the cause.
Once you sort out what sort of engine you are going to run.
I have some XL125s and xr200 stuff if you go Honda.
As long as it gets a cool porn star name. ie your first pet and the street you grew up on.

Had a peek in the garage today, if you go with a 17 inch front I have two useable tyres, an IRC RX01 (horrible piles of shit, but it's free) and a Shink Advance 005, it's in pretty good nick but it's a 120/60.
