nice job on the welding !
did you have to modify the cradle mounts, or is that all home made ?
looks like you've changed the pads that bolt up to the bottom of the engine compared to the one in the link

nope just fabricated up our own cradle with my friend who has a crf50 too,
here is some more photos of it all togeather and stuff, (because who reads anyway)
this is probably how she will stand for the most part, i have a two bros fork kit on the way also to even her out a bit, but yeah stockers are rockers

Awesome work man.
+ reps for the custom cradle.
Did you just wing it or do you have some plans you might be able to share for others that want to make one?
That includes me. haha
yeah well my friend did most of the fabrication but we just went off a Cat5 cradle i had but made our own that is connected and with 1mm thicker steel
it took about 4 hours as my friend has a broken leg so he couldnt move easily haha
hopefully she will be stong enough to backflip?

Yeah easy man. You will break your neck before the frame.
Smart move going 1mm thicker steel too.
How much extra weight your reckon it will be?
ah good! thats the plan haha, hopefully no broken necks though!
yeah the steel was pretty thick where we welded it anyway, we couldnt go crazy and get 2 or 3mm thicker as the welder was a mig and couldnt penetrate both metals evenly.
oh its not even noticeable, i just went out for a ride then and forgot all about the mods haha,
id say it would maybe be another kilo?
i wish there was more sa lads with stockers here, i was jumping a huge gap at my local today off this ramp thats always there and it was rad fun just slowly moving it back and back.. haha
