Ignitech loom built (thanks Wobbly for the great advice); exhaust temperature device all assembled.

But still looking for a rear calliper? dos anyone know what over model has the same rear brake? MC18? RS250? (little single pot)

new radiator (CBR150 oversize; light as, half the weight of the KR one used for mock-up) arrived today

did you miss out on the brake. think the one on ebay finshed yesterday

You might give me a run for my money.

Fuck that frame looks horny in the red (actually it wasn't bad as bare metal either). Cant wait to see it in the flesh

But still looking for a rear calliper? dos anyone know what other model has the same rear brake as a RS125 nx4? MC18? RS250? (little single pot)

Crazy has the same question (For Bert I guess)i wish i had a more complete answer. but I know from a board somewhere a CR80 rear disk can be adapted with a little filing.
I had a basic look based on the seals and dust seals for the rear caliper.
It is not a total solution but i think it can work with a little effort (i believe the caliper will be a small scooter front like a DJ1 or similar.)
but here is what i found. As the seals and so are the same the pistons should be as well. Obviously the fixed vs floating will need work.

THe DJ1 was a floating caliper much like this one 3rd attached as it had a link front end this one looks like it could be adapted easily.

That's a great starting point; I'll go on a bit of a hunt.
I was thinking if something like a NSR50/ns-1 etc might share the same unit...

Anyway the mockup is all nearly finished (all the little brackets, battery box, loom are complete. just need to finish the painting this weekend while waiting for parts)....
now it time to finish off the motor; starting to sound like Dave's "will i finish in time for the GP" thread...

White is a stupid colour; it show every bloody finger print...

Those Benly DOHC 50 possibly do. Not that that will help much

Right you are i was getting there slowly. Here is the rear of the NSR50/80

The other one is the MD80 Moriwaki I am pretty sure it had a striped NS1 frame chassis.
I haven't had time to compare all the numbers but they all look like they could work with a large enough Hammer.

You make it to one of our rounds before May and you might take home the prize for best presented bucket.

I hear the guy who won that last year is super cool. (But didn't have a bike nearly that pretty)

Don't forget you are waiting for parts from me...

I'd have to cover the bloody thing up with 10kgs of Nylon to protect the track..
But the Focus after the bucket GP is to finish off the F3 250 motor for the winter series (as that is really what it was built for).

Use Black Acetal. 40mm round stock. 24mm bore down the centre with a 45 degree taper on the outside edge. Then it will still look puurdy. And very hard wearing too.
